ToT Partners

ToT Partners, a holding company operated by Wall Street veteran William Tillman, today announced it has become the exclusive sell-side advisor to The Code as the company pursues a strategic business combination that would leverage its powerful technology at scale. The Code is a dating application that uses facial recognition, biometrics, and artificial intelligence to curate and suggest potential matches. The company owns intellectual property related to the use of anthropology, evolutionary biology, and neurophysiology to drive matchmaking. Charles Sankowich, a serial entrepreneur and former commodities trader, serves as founder and CEO, while Stacy Schnieder, an attorney, legal analyst, and former adtech COO, is co-founder. “The Code is first-to-market with patented technology that uses facial recognition and artificial intelligence to calculate and predict physical attraction. This powerful, innovative technology can, as either a product or a feature, further improve the user experience on the apps that millions of people use every day to spark new connections,” said Tillman. According to a forecast from Grand View Research, the size of the app-based dating market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 5.5% from 2022 to 2030, with the fastest-growing market over that period of time expected to be the Asia-Pacific region. Grand View pointed to high rates of divorce and separation among people in their 20s and 30s, the effects of the ongoing Covid 19 recovery, and overall population growth as supporting evidence for its forecast. About ToT Partners ToT Partners was founded by William Nicholas Tillman in 2022. The name of the conglomerate embodies what the founder takes pride in: Being a polymath and illuminating ambiguity through business and philanthropy ventures.

Achieving SOC 2 compliance is a significant milestone for Claravine, as it demonstrates the company's commitment to the industry's highest standards for managing data. Claravine successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit and received its compliance certification just one year after the company attained its SOC 2 Type I certification. SOC 2 Type II is a step beyond SOC 2 Type I in that it describes the internal control policies an organization has in place at a single point in time and describes their suitability, as well as tests those over time, typically a 12-month period. A rigorous compliance standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 is designed to specify how organizations should manage customer data. Through the process an organization's internal controls for privacy and information security are examined, assessing compliance at a specific point in time.

It affirms that Claravine’s practices, policies, procedures and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security and data protection. Founded in 2012, Claravine empowers a proactive approach to data by activating standards across people and technology – bridging the silos that limit speed and decisions. The company has forged successful partnerships with well-known Fortune 1000 companies such as Under Armour and Ancestry and is currently working with a quarter of the Fortune 100. With a collaborative user interface and strategic integrations with top customer experience platforms such as Adobe and Google, The Data Standards Cloud helps global organizations define, apply and connect standards across their ecosystem for faster decisions, greater agility and increased ROI. "From our start, we’ve been focused on building credibility with our clients by investing in our people and technology and holding ourselves to the highest standards in data integrity,” said Verl Allen, CEO, of Claravine. “We know that our audience relies on trusted third-party reports to supplement their own research when considering technology investments. This is why we are committed to enlisting independent testing and auditors like SOC 2 to demonstrate how our Data Standards Cloud can be fully trusted.” In addition to achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance, Claravine is having a landmark year with milestones including an additional $16 million in Series B funding, hiring an influx of new engineers and being named a “Momentum Leader” and “High Performer” in the Spring 2022 G2 Rankings. Claravine is on track to meet its ambitious growth goal of doubling its revenue this year, accelerating product development, and investing in its integrations to automate data standards across digital experiences.

Telland Releases First of Its Kind Farmland NFTs on Telos Blockchain

Telos Foundation

The mint is currently underway on Telos EVM providing users with a unique opportunity to own collectable artistic NFTs representing access to yields from 100 square meters of physical land within the Proyecto Ecológico Nuestro Paraíso in the Northwestern region of Piura, Peru, South America. However, the use-case of Telland NFTs goes far beyond simple ownership. These land plots will contribute to the growth of local farmers' sustainable organic produce and a more robust economy in the region. Perpetual Rewards for Holders Users that mint one or more Telland NFTs will receive annual rewards in perpetuity, financially backed by the revenue generated from the South American farmland. Currently there are only 100 NFT parcels of land priced at $150 USD in TLOS tokens each available to mint. The rewards payment breakdown is as follows: Year 1 of ownership - Holder receives minimum guarantee of $30 (20% APR on NFT mint price) Year 2 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $50 (33% APR on NFT mint price) Year 3 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $75 (50% APR on NFT mint price). This minimum continues perpetually from year 3 onwards. The collection debuts at an ideal moment as accumulating land ownership is more challenging for millennials today than at any other time in our history. Furthermore, Telland NFTs offers holders a chance to generate passive revenue from a real-world asset that benefits the environment while omitting painstaking bureaucratic processes and paperwork. Telland is also a participant in the Telos Mission NFT contest, which offers NFT creators a chance to win substantial prize money and acclaim in the NFT community. The contest has over 60 submissions to date and Telland's participation provides yet another opportunity for value increase in the event Telland is announced a winner. Public voting begins on July 23, 2002, on the TaiKai Network. "We chose Telos primarily for two factors: the community and the technology. The vision of the founders of Telos was to create a community around the ideas of service to society and care for the environment. Telland wants to do just that by converting arid lands into farmlands that produce fruits with a high nutritional content that help the well-being of humanity. In terms of technology, the ease of creating and deploying smart contracts in the Telos EVM, the incredible speed and low cost of transactions was such that the decision to build on their network was simple." -Paul Gonzales, Telland Co-founder "Telland is an amazing example of real-world application of NFTs and a glimpse at the future of tokenised land and real estate. At $150 an NFT, these prove to be a very interesting way to gain exposure to the value of real estate. The idea of being able to buy and trade land rights with such ease is magical to anyone who has had the pleasure of making a traditional real estate purchase where the process is incredibly slow (taking 2-4 weeks) and requiring middle men and costly fees" -Justin Giudici, Telos Foundation CEO About Telos Live since 2018, Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is an ESG compliant Layer 1 smart contract platform that offers full-service compatibility with Solidity, Vyper and Native C++ smart contracts. The Telos EVM is the most powerful and scalable Ethereum Smart Contract platform built to power Web 3.0.
