Togai secures $3.1M seed funding to help B2B companies with lightning-fast pricing implementation

Togai

Togai, the B2B SaaS metering and pricing platform, announced it has raised $3.1 million in a seed round, led by Together Fund. The fund round also saw participation from other investors like BoldCap, Core91, and angel investors, including Prasanna Shankar, the Co-founder of Rippling. Founded by Abhishek Rajagopal, Aravind Sriraman, and Tholkappiyan Velavan, Togai takes an innovative approach to crafting monetization tools for today’s dynamic billing and pricing landscape. Their previous venture, Hypto, a payments API platform, processed over a staggering 100 million transactions within a span of 2 years. The journey with Hypto led to the identification of critical gaps in existing billing and monetization tools. Motivated by the challenge, the founders embarked on the creation of a cutting-edge monetization stack, Togai, designed for flexibility, scalability, and rapid implementation. According to a McKinsey study, pricing has a profound impact on a company's financial health - a 1% improvement in pricing can lead to over an 8% increase in profitability. Businesses in the B2B market are currently facing increasing churn rates, highlighting the need for tailor-made pricing models. Customers are now actively seeking pricing flexibility and customization options, which puts pressure on companies to have complete autonomy over their pricing strategies. Addressing this market gap, Togai’s plug-and-play model supports finance teams in deploying their pricing strategy while integrating seamlessly with their existing quote-to-cash systems for effortless, 'no-code' pricing alterations. Togai enables businesses to roll out pricing changes within a matter of hours, circumventing the need for time-consuming engineering efforts. The model seamlessly integrates with existing tools (CPQ, CRM, Billing, Usage analytics, Revenue recognition), providing total visibility and ensuring synchronization across all systems and processes throughout any pricing update cycle. Regarding the investment in Togai, Manav Garg, founding partner at Together Fund, mentioned, “As we navigate an AI-first world, 'subscribers' or 'users' are getting replaced by 'software' and 'workflows'. Simple pay-as-you-go models, while straightforward, are centered around a cost-plus pricing strategy, often overlooking the full value your product offers to customers. This evolution challenges the conventional subscription and seat-based pricing models and necessitates a comprehensive reimagining of them. Togai is addressing this need by helping SaaS companies reconstruct their pricing models from the ground up.” Togai launched its product in beta in April 2023 with customers across dev tools, fintech, and conversational AI verticals, and is now open for public access. Their no-code usage metering solution (metering.ai) achieved 2nd place for Product of the Day on Product Hunt, with over 300 users automating their metered billing operations. Togai’s monetization marketplace, currently in beta, hosts over 10 apps and integrations, empowering users to visualize the flow, pinpoint leakages, and bridge the gaps in their entire quote-to-cash process, any engineering effort. Commenting on Togai's product, Nikhil Nandagopal, Co-founder and CPO of Appsmith, an open-source dev tools company, said, "When we decided to launch usage-based pricing, we sought tools that provided flexibility to support different pricing models and the reliability of handling data at high volume. Togai's solution-first approach accommodated our various pricing & billing scenarios, not just for today but also for the future, fast-tracking our time-to-market from months to mere days." Speaking about Togai’s solutions, Abhishek Rajagopal, Co-founder and CEO of Togai stated, "With Togai, SaaS companies can rapidly test and implement their pricing strategies and can go live within days instead of months. We are poised to continue our journey in building end-to-end monetization solutions for this burgeoning segment and any B2B entity seeking to implement pricing changes to drive growth and profitability. Furthermore, we are excited to expand our reach to additional territories.” About Togai Togai is a metering and pricing platform for B2B companies. Its solution enables businesses to quickly implement any pricing change without engineering effort. With seamless integration into existing monetization and quote-to-cash tools, Togai can help companies communicate, implement and analyze pricing changes effectively without manual effort.

What You Need To Know About Accounting for Non-Fungible Tokens—NFTs

Ledgible

TL;DR Best practices for NFT accounting vary with the underlying asset type Accurate accounting for NFTs is crucial to avoid noncompliance Companies can mitigate risk by getting professional help with NFT accounting Have you considered owning an NFT or adding NFTs to your inventory, but aren’t sure about the accounting? Procuring a non-fungible token (NFT) may feel daunting enough, and nobody likes complicated taxes. Getting the right guidance on accounting for NFTs is crucial before owning any of these digital assets. What questions do you have about NFT accounting? We’ve got seven best practices to get you seven notches closer to tracking your non-fungible tokens like a professional. 1. Determine Your NFT’s Asset Classification You may understand non-fungible tokens as digital coins that signify ownership of specific assets. NFTs can indicate ownership of a wide range of underlying assets, ranging from digital art and music to virtual real estate and domain names. Determining an NFT’s asset class for accounting purposes is frequently based on the specific nature of the underlying asset. NFT asset classification is necessary because asset classification plays a crucial role in accounting and financial reporting. An accurate classification can be essential to fairly valuing an NFT and understanding the potential implications of owning this type of digital asset. Check out these accounting best practices for classifying NFT assets: Understand the characteristics of the underlying asset Review regulatory guidance in the relevant jurisdictions Consider the purpose of holding the NFT—as inventory or an investment Continually reevaluate the NFT’s asset class designation 2. Assign a Value to Your NFTs What is an NFT worth? A key part of accounting for NFTs is using a valuation method to assign a dollar amount to each NFT. Here are three methods of NFT valuation: Cost-based valuation—valuing an NFT based on what it would cost to recreate the underlying asset Income-based valuation—valuing an NFT based on projected future cash flows associated with the underlying asset Comparable asset valuation—a valuation method based on sales prices of similar tokenized assets Many factors can impact the valuation of an NFT, such as: Rarity and scarcity of the underlying asset Ownership history of the NFT Privileges conferred by owning the NFT Quality and popularity of the underlying asset Market demand for tokenized assets Valuing NFTs can be particularly challenging due to the unique, non-fungible nature of the asset. Assessing the value of NFTs requires a tailored approach that is customized to individual NFTs. 3. Establish NFT Ownership and Control What does it mean—for accounting purposes—to own and control an NFT? A business that owns an NFT must report that token as an asset on its balance sheet. Clearly establishing ownership and control of an NFT is fundamental to accurate financial reporting. Let’s look more closely at NFT ownership and control in the context of accounting: Establishing NFT ownership can be crucial to ensure legal and tax compliance Not clearly establishing NFT control can result in incorrect revenue recognition or expense matching Clear ownership and control procedures for NFTs can ensure that only authorized individuals have access to an NFT Clear ownership and control also creates detailed audit trails that can be used to settle disputes 4. Consider the Tax Implications of Owning NFTs Accounting and taxation are generally inseparable—including for NFTs. Understanding the tax implications of owning NFTs is a major step toward becoming skilled with NFT accounting practices. Any income or gain derived from an NFT transaction is generally subject to tax, regardless of whether the transaction is a sale or trade. Here are some key best practices to remember, especially if you'd rather avoid a tax or accounting nightmare with NFTs: Document all NFT transactions, perhaps by using NFT accounting software from a platform like Ledgible Understand capital gains tax, including how it applies in your jurisdiction Consider the potential tax implications of NFT gifts or donations Pay attention to any tax code changes that may affect NFTs 5. Assess the NFT Regulatory Environment Another best accounting practice for NFTs is to continually assess the regulatory landscape. Regulations surrounding NFTs are indeed still evolving and may differ significantly across jurisdictions. Many aspects of the regulatory environment—involving intellectual property rights, taxation, consumer protection, and anti-money laundering rules—are perhaps subject to change. Individuals and organizations can benefit from routinely evaluating the regulatory environment for NFTs. Here are some useful tactics: Stay informed about regulatory developments pertinent to NFTs Determine what’s needed for your NFT to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations Understand the intellectual property (IP) rights associated with your NFT Consider engaging NFT legal experts to ensure ongoing compliance 6. Keep Accurate Records of NFT Transactions NFT accounting is only as accurate and compliant as the record-keeping that enables it. The importance of accurate accounting for NFTs probably can’t be understated. Why? That's because high-quality NFT accounting records can help with investment tracking, determining tax liability, and establishing proof of ownership. Credible NFT accounting records can also help to resolve conflicts, plus serve as documentation for audits or legal proceedings. What are some expert ways to record and manage your NFT transactions? Let’s take a look: Document all transactions Use only trustworthy NFT platforms Independently store your proof of ownership for NFTs Consider using a data storage back-up solution Regularly and promptly update your NFT records Consider leveraging professional record-keeping software 7. Know When to Get Help With NFT Accounting What’s your area of professional expertise? If it’s not NFT accounting, then a smart idea may be to get help with this potentially daunting task. You might be unsure of how to track, evaluate, or report NFT transactions—which is pretty understandable. When’s the right time to seek professional help with NFT accounting? Consider these potential indicators: The complexity and volume of your NFT transactions is high Keeping accurate records of your NFT transactions is difficult How to comply with applicable tax requirements is unclear Potential legal or regulatory consequences from your NFT activities are uncertain You’re spending too much time and effort on managing your NFT portfolio Even seasoned accounting professionals have options to get help with NFT accounting. They can leverage specialized software from crypto and NFT accounting platforms like Ledgible, plus access specialized consulting services. Finding an NFT accounting specialist or software solution can mean identifying a cost-effective solution that best meets your unique needs. Make sure to verify the credibility of the platform, understand the value proposition of the solution, and expect high-quality results from whichever NFT accounting solution you ultimately choose. The Ledgible Platform is a cryptocurrency tax & accounting solution designed for Institutions, Enterprises, and Professionals.

DealMaker: Monogram Orthopaedics Listing Highlights the Power of the Crowd

DealMaker

DealMaker congratulates Monogram Orthopaedics Inc., (NASDAQ:MGRM) on listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market on May 18, 2023. Monogram is a medical technology company focused on reconstructive joint procedures and orthopedic implants. The company has a long-standing relationship with DealMaker and has raised over $44 million through online capital formation, including a significant amount under Regulation A. “It's incredible to see how Monogram harnessed the power of online capital formation to create a hugely supportive community of shareholders,” said Mat Goldstein, Co-Founder of DealMaker. “That community has powered Monogram’s capital markets strategy, from the seed stage through this public listing on NASDAQ.” The Monogram Orthopaedics listing is a significant milestone for equity crowdfunding and one of a handful of examples of issuers that start with online capital raising and move to a national stock exchange. “Many institutional investors and firms are reluctant to enter into the equity crowdfunding space and often assume there is no path to liquidity,” said Rebecca Kacaba, DealMaker Co-Founder and CEO. “We’ve seen issuers adopt another path to raising capital: Reg CF to Reg A then Reg A to public listing. It’s a great supplement to the traditional capital markets process.” Monogram has been an eye-catching story in the equity crowdfunding space. Monogram made history by completing the first fully-remote robotic orthopedic surgery in March 2023. In a live telecast, the Austin-based robot was controlled from New York City in real-time via an advanced user-operated foot pedal. “This was an incredible achievement for orthopedic robotics and medicine,” said founder Dr. Douglas Unis. “Despite being over 1,700 miles away, the real-time system was highly responsive with minimal latency. The applications for a robust system with these capabilities are tremendous. No system on the market today is capable of doing what Monogram just demonstrated.” DealMaker is on a mission to bring online capital formation into the mainstream. DealMaker offers a suite of primary issuance, shareholder management, and capital raising solutions that includes equity crowdfunding, investor ranking algorithms, and data/analytical tools to support all capital raise types and all securities. DealMaker’s innovative technology was designed to enable organizations to own and control exempt market raises to get the money they need, faster. DealMaker works for their issuers: putting brands and founders back in control to run streamlined, successful capital raises. The company’s offices are located in Toronto, Canada, Austin, Texas and Tampa, Florida. Visit DealMaker.tech for more information.

News Release

Herborium Group, Inc. (OTC:HBRM) CEO Discusses Future Opportunities in Tech-Driven Natural Wellness and Beauty Sectors

HBRM

Herborium Group, Inc. (HBRN) is a botanical therapeutics® company that addresses dermatological and other health and wellness concerns via its proprietary medicinal products that are supported by science-centered content. In an exclusive interview with the Capital Gains Report, HBRN CEO Dr. Agnes Olszewski discussed the company’s track to take advantage of promising opportunities arising in the natural segment of the wellness industry, particularly as it applies to skincare, and an important boost to this area of the market can get from the application of artificial intelligence. HBRN’s Approach of Integrating Medicine and Beauty The global natural cosmetics market is growing at a fast pace and is projected to reach $79.6 billion by 2033, with an annual growth rate of 5.1%. This rise is driven by the emergence of a new category of advanced, natural ingredient-based products available via conventional retail channels and online retailers, as well as the growing prominence of safer and more efficacious science-based beauty and wellness culture, which fuels the accelerated demand for natural beauty products. Dr. Olszewski said, “One of the most important trends in the healthcare and beauty sectors is the merger of clinical skincare with natural skincare to create safe and validated “hybrid” products that actually work while maintaining their natural ingredient profile.” Herborium’s acne treatment represents such a unique product. AcnEase is a systemic, all botanical ingredient-based, proprietary, clinically tested acne treatment for teen and adult acne, that also improves symptoms of an inflammatory skin condition called rosacea. Dr. Olszewski said, “We are presently working on the second generation of this clinically validated skincare solution that has better consumer characteristics -- broader application and simpler treatment routine -- and improved business profile, such as increased margins. The company is also approaching the most advanced science in clinical skincare - stem cell-based products. We are working to add two highly innovative products in this category to our 2023 and 2024 product portfolios.” The company pursues a cross-sectoral approach, aiming to use clinical testing in order to integrate pharmaceutical and nutraceutical market segments. Exploring the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Natural Skincare Sector Another strength of HBRM has to do with the use of pioneering technology as applied to the development of natural skincare products and a total solution that would address consumer concerns in the skincare sector. On May 11, 2023, the company announced signing a Letter of Intent with Adrecom, a US-based technology and e-commerce company with offices in North Carolina and California, to purchase and further advance AI technology that will power HBRM's natural skin health and wellness platform. It completed the first stage of designing this platform and is currently in the midst of testing and further advancing it. Dr. Olszewski says, “Herborium’s unique approach is the active use of technology in the natural segment of skincare and skin wellness.” The AI platform will deliver streamlined and more precise diagnosis, curated, personalized skincare counseling, products, and other related services such as nutrition and esthetician-provided recommendations. This step positions HBRM as a frontrunner in the novel skincare industry, opening up new ways for innovation and potential revenue streams. “Our AI-based platform offers an integrated, personalized approach to skincare and skin health,” says Dr. Olszewski. “At the moment, an integrated platform for natural skincare and skin wellness does not exist.” As medicine and wellness develop in parallel with advancements in using AI technology to support a personalized approach to treatments and more common wellness and beauty solutions, HBRM is a first mover in this space as it is capable of combining its natural ingredient-based products and relevant, cutting edge content with advanced AI technology. Growth through Partnerships HBRM is currently commercializing its products and has already established a strong presence in the United States, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe through a network of specialty retailers, distributors, and e-commerce platforms. With a well-established customer base and strong brand recognition, the company plans to establish new sales targets by building curated partnerships with other product originators. “We are presently in advanced talks with two companies—one from the US and a second from South Korea that are well known in the cosmetic and skin wellness industry for high-quality biotechnological applications in skincare,” says Dr. Olszewski. Conclusion Natural ingredients and the potential for an AI-driven personalized approach to skincare mean that Herborium’s products have the potential to gain popularity with consumers quickly. They are capable of connecting medical and beauty applications with a focus on natural ingredients, filling an important gap in the market.

A slow mode is available. Cons There is limited stock available, and it is running out quickly as well Online only. Drone features to consider before purchase GPS: To compose photos, GPS is almost indispensable for toy drones which do not typically have it. Guided missile technology was repurposed for drone positioning. The goal is to remain stationary instead of being blown away like a missile. Piloting is easier and the drone can automatically return to the takeoff point when disconnected, which is a helpful backup. Controller: Each controller is unique. At the lower end, standard Wi-Fi is used for control and video feedback, with a range of approximately 100m and requiring a clear line of sight, while most models come with twin sticks. Expensive drones (listed here) utilize exclusive radio technologies such as DJI's Lightbridge or OM3, providing a range measured in miles, compatibility with master and slave controllers for separate pilot and camera operator operations, as well as first-person-view goggles. Camera & gimbal: Sensor size, megapixels, and vibration reduction are all crucial for a camera's performance. At lower levels, use cushioning or digital image stabilization. The best systems use motorized gimbals on 2- or 3-axis. Battery: The drone's flight time is limited by its battery capacity. Greater capacities do not necessarily result in extended flight durations as weight, particularly that of the battery, and effectiveness also play a crucial role. Minutes of flight time is the more useful measure. Although lithium batteries are powerful, 'Intelligent Batteries' are both safe and equipped with built-in monitors for convenient charge checking. Assume the hover time of drones is slightly less than the given flight time as they work best moving forward at an average speed. Maneuvers require additional power as well. The App: The manufacturer's app quality impacts the experience as advanced features on high-end drones need menu navigation. Certainly, this is the way to go beyond auto with the camera. Developers use drone sensors and app processing for simpler flying modes and visual effects like DJI's Tiny Planet. The Bundle: Drones can be purchased individually, with a remote, or as a bundle featuring items such as additional batteries, spare propellers, a bag, and ND filters. You may require spare propellers in the initial stages. Factor in the cost of batteries and the distance to charge them when calculating the price of a bundle. A good bag can safeguard them, even when just stuffed inside. Most drone gimbals have unique lens mounts, so it's important to keep this in mind when shopping for ND filters.
