How Diamond Lake Minerals Is Spearheading Digital Asset Accessibility For Traditional Investors

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga In the era of digital finance, the integration of traditional investments with more dynamic technology is a growing necessity. Diamond Lake Minerals Inc. (OTCMKTS: DLMI) seems to embody this fusion, leveraging decades of traditional business acumen to pave the way for investors into the digital asset and security token market. With a vision that has evolved since its founding in 1954, Diamond Lake Minerals now focuses on the development and support of SEC-registered security tokens under the guidance of CEO Brian J. Esposito and his 20 years of industry experience. In addition, big-name advisors like Anthony Scaramucci, Larry Namer, Andrew Fromm, Brandon Fugal, Michael Malik Sr., Raul Leal, Agnes Budzyn and David Meltzer have joined the company, bringing years of expertise and success. Through blockchain innovations unlocking asset tokenization, Diamond Lake Minerals is shaping the landscape of investment for generations accustomed to the tangibility of assets – but with a modern twist that embraces new technologies. Diamond Lake Minerals: Bridging The Old With The New Diamond Lake Minerals has entered a fascinating transition from mineral exploration to spearheading innovation in digital assets and security tokens. Adhering to SEC regulations and employing state-of-the-art technology, the company aligns traditional investment values with the demands of the digital economy. Leveraging PR Strategy For Web3 Engagement With the help of Espositio Intellectual Enterprises, Diamond Lake Minerals is pursuing a public relations strategy to promote digital assets and educate the public about them, aiming to make these investments more approachable to the general public. The company’s approach is to combine trusted investment traditions with new digital opportunities, thus simplifying entry into the digital asset market for everyday investors. This strategy hopes to build a community around these modern investment options, making them more accessible to a wider range of investors. Tokenization As The Market's New Frontier As articulated by Larry Fink of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK), tokenization has the potential to be a transformative force in financial markets. By enabling digital assets to be traded via protocols, tokenization promises immediate settlement and lower transaction costs. The potential of a financial ecosystem built on tokens also offers a future of enhanced interoperability, transparent access and reduced reliance on traditional intermediaries. Blockchain's Role In Democratizing Finance Diamond Lake Minerals is essentially streamlining the entry into digital assets by leveraging the familiarity of stock investments. Recognizing that downloading digital wallets and understanding NFTs can be daunting, they aim to lower these barriers, making it simpler for people to invest in digital assets through partners like INX Digital Co. (OTCM: INXDF). This approach not only broadens accessibility but also paves the way for more widespread investment in blockchain technology, which promises enhanced transparency and efficiency. By aligning with regulatory standards and offering round-the-clock trading, such blockchain applications are setting new benchmarks in the financial industry, inviting a diverse investor base to partake in the future of digital finance. A Conglomerate Approach To Digital Assets Diamond Lake Minerals embraces a conglomerate approach, managing a diverse portfolio under a unified holding company structure intended for lifetime holding similar to Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (NYSE: BERK). This strategy, discussed in detail on the Bell2Bell Podcast, reflects an intent to deliver consistent earnings and shareholder value. By blending traditional business wisdom with digital asset innovation, Diamond Lake Minerals presents a regulated opportunity for investment in digital spaces. Traditional Meets Digital Diamond Lake Minerals stands as an intriguing avenue for those seeking to invest in digital assets through a platform that respects the essence of traditional investment principles. The popularity of tokenized assets is still to be fully determined, but the company’s initiatives are paving the way for investors to evolve with the digital economy, reinforcing the potential for sustainable growth and value generation in the digital age.

Short The Criminals: Knightscope’s Momentum And Double Digit Growth Could Mean A Safer World

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Click here to learn more about the Knightscope Public Safety Infrastructure Bond. While the world overall has become more peaceful in the past century, the aftermath of the pandemic has seen an increase in violence in certain areas of the country and internationally. For example, California has seen increases in violent crime in the years since the pandemic hit. The state’s violent crime rate is up by 13.5% compared to the pre-COVID rate of 2019. With poverty rates on the rise, crimes – specifically misdemeanors – might continue to rise in coming years; poverty and non-violent crimes have often been linked due to there being fewer legal means to live a decent standard of living for those under the poverty line. At the same time, police violence and racial police discrimination are also on the rise. A recent study showed that U.S. law enforcement killed at least 1,176 people in 2022, making it the deadliest year on record for police violence since 2013 when experts first started tracking the killings nationwide. Additionally, 1 in 5 Black adults, including 3 in 10 Black men, say they have been a victim of police violence. The combination of increased crime rate, as well as the lack of public trust in police to act justly and within reason, can create tension and potentially dangerous environments. An innovative public safety technology company is deploying an interesting alternative to typical policing that can help reduce both crime rate and policing human error. AI and robotics are part of the solution to create safer public spaces while decreasing human error that can come from human police officers. Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) is a technology company ushering in the dawn of Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) and working hard to protect U.S. citizens from crime across the country. The company has over a decade of experience and has shown its solutions to be effective. For example, when one of its units was deployed in Huntington Park, Los Angeles County, there were 46% fewer crime reports overall – and they have recently renewed the contract for the 5th year in a row. Knightscope’s success has garnered national attention, and the company has won corporate contracts with major corporations such as PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ: PENN), PG&E (NYSE: PCG), ABM (NYSE: ABM) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW). Knightscope continues to make waves in the industry with recent accomplishments and contracts. They have recently announced two new contracts, selling a total of ten new machines. These contracts include a hospital in Colorado and an online retailer in Georgia, both of which have recognized the value of incorporating Knightscope technologies into their security programs. One of Knightscope's newest products, the K1 Hemisphere, is specifically designed for securing areas where the use of autonomous security robots is not necessary. An online retailer that operates multiple warehouses across the United States has signed an agreement for two Hemispheres to enhance employee safety and deter theft and criminal trespassing at their Georgia facility. These machines will also monitor the property's driveway. The retailer has also included the Knightscope+ remote monitoring service to ensure prompt investigation and handling of all alerts, relieving the hospital personnel of this responsibility. The retailer reported being so pleased with the deployment at their Georgia location that they have already requested proposals for additional Hemispheres at their New York and Nevada facilities. Additionally, a California community college has invested over $1.5 billion in updating its facilities, including its safety and security measures. Knightscope was chosen as the preferred vendor to replace the college's outdated emergency phone system with K1 Blue Light Towers. With the latest order, the college has installed a total of 26 Towers and is adding 6 more to enhance its operations. Knightscope has also made significant strides in the hospitality and education industries this month. They have secured contracts with hotels in Portland, Oregon, where their K5 Autonomous Security Robots will patrol the parking areas to ensure the safety of guests, employees, and visitors. The company has also partnered with a pre-K school and another hotel. Most notable, however, Knightscope recently announced a collaboration with the NYPD and MTA in New York City, as their robots will operate in the subway system during late-night hours. Known for their effectiveness and approachability, the K5 robots strike a balance between engagement and respect for privacy. The company is currently offering a unique investment opportunity for interested parties to buy bonds. Knightscope is offering 10% interest, paid in cash annually, on up to a 5-year bond. For example, a $10,000 investment could yield $1,000 of interest in cash payments annually for 5 years. Knightscope's recent achievements demonstrate their commitment to revolutionizing the security industry and promoting greater safety for various sectors. The robotics market was valued at $31.38 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $110.39 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 15% from 2022-2030. Knightscope seems well-positioned to capitalize on this growth and be a potential leader in the U.S. market. Click here to learn more about the Rise of the Robots.

Fintech startup EduFi secures $6.1m led by Zayn VC to launch student loans with Study Now Pay Later

EduFi

Education is a lever of economic growth and social development in any country but poor quality state school provision often drives many families to fee-paying schools. Helping these families manage the financial challenges of school fees, EduFi is today announcing a $6.1m funding round for its Study Now, Pay Later lending platform. It has launched in Pakistan, a country where 40% of students are attending a fee-paying school and spending over $14 billion for their education every year. The pre-seed funding round was led by Zayn VC with participation from Palm Drive Capital, Deem Ventures Ltd, Q Business, Abhi, Adalfi, Techlogix and other angel investors. EduFi is a fintech platform and mobile app that enables students to secure loans for their school fees. EduFi works with liquidity providers and schools to drive successful student loans. The platform is underpinned by a proprietary education sector focused credit scoring model using advanced machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence. Aleena Nadeem, Founder & CEO of EduFi commented: “We conceived and built this product to serve markets that have low credit penetration. Pakistan presented an ideal opportunity to launch because the need is the greatest and we had a first-mover advantage. Firstly, banks don’t offer student loans, instead users take personal loans which are riddled with a high cost of origination owing to physical verification of identity, personal assets and financial health. The absence of credit scoring has restricted credit access to a thin, top tier of customers. We want to expand the credit and student loan opportunity to a much wider audience of students across the country. Secondly, we feel student loans can be a bridge to the country’s two biggest problems - high levels of poverty and low literacy rates - and catalyze economic growth”. The EduFi team has created a full tech stack that provides visibility to liquidity providers on their capital performance and enables schools to capture student performance metrics such as attendance, overdue fees, drop out rates and academic performance of the students. In addition, the EduFi App UX offers an unparalleled pathway for users to quickly and easily access student loans. Combined, this end-to-end tech stack powers the EduFi credit scoring system to disperse student loans within 48 hours of application. The loan journey offers a faster and simpler application process, fast loan disbursement, flexible repayment options and provides more convenience and accessibility than the traditional lenders. EduFi has ended the weeks of manual work to a few minutes in offering and making a student loan. Headquartered in Singapore, EduFi was founded in 2021 by Aleena Nadeem. Having benefited from an MIT education and a successful finance career, her conviction that education opens pathways was the genesis for EduFi. The wider team has over several decades combined experience across banking, education and technology. The EduFi model is based on research and analysis the team conducted on the cultural, social, and economic factors that shape the decisions and behaviors of parents regarding education and finance. Based on these insights, EduFi is designed to be intuitive, transparent, and secure for the users. EduFi’s vision is to be more than a platform but a lifeline and community for aspiring students to unlock their true potential. Through its partnerships with 15 colleges across Pakistan, EduFi is now available to over 200,000 students to pay their school fees. Aleena Nadeem, CEO and founder of EduFi commented: “Education offers hope and can change the lives of people. I am one example of millions out there. EduFi offers this hope and will be a trigger for change in the lives of people as we lift one of the biggest burdens on aspiring families. For example, students in dental or medical schools have to pay upwards of $8,000 upfront which is not sustainable for many in Pakistan. Every student we’ve helped is testament to the ambition, opportunity and empowerment we are striving for at EduFi.” According to a recent Unesco report, families in Pakistan spend 57% of their income on children's education, a sum total of $14 billion annually. Pakistan ranks second across South Asia and Southeast Asia in terms of expenditure on education. This presents a significant opportunity for EduFi to support students on their academic journey. Faisal Aftab, General Partner & Founder at Zayn VC commented: “We are thrilled to support Aleena's vision for EduFi, which aims to provide financing options for families to fund their children's higher education. This is a significant step towards achieving financial inclusion for middle and low-income families. In Pakistan, families spend more than 50% of their income on their children's education, which has become increasingly challenging due to inflationary pressures. EduFi's innovative approach will help alleviate this burden and empower families to invest in their children's future.” About EduFi Headquartered in Singapore, EduFi was founded in 2021 by Aleena Nadeem. It is Pakistan's first student loan platform, helping students finance and plan for their education. The innovative platform streamlines the borrowing process, making it easy for students to apply for loans and access funds quickly.

Comcast Business Technology Empowers California Small Business to Compete with Big Name Brands

Comcast California

Comcast Business today announced that it is providing Direct Appliance Flooring & Home (Direct Appliance) with Comcast Business Internet and Comcast Business Mobile. The combination of these solutions has enabled the expanding small business with the tools it needs to manage its operations more effectively, ultimately helping it to stand out from its competitors. Founded in 1995 as a family-owned store with a mission of, “something simple, but with quality that meets the needs of Modesto,” Direct Appliance has evolved significantly from its beginnings. Today, Direct Appliance has two showroom locations – one in Modesto and one recently opened location in Jamestown – and offers complete, functional rooms that serve as a valuable resource for local designers, builders and contractors. The showrooms allow customers to test working appliances set in lifelike kitchen environments. Despite Direct Appliance’s evolution over time, the essence of the company remained rooted in its original vision for quality and community, emphasizing personal service and hometown values. To help ensure continued quality service for its customers, Direct Appliance knew that in addition to scaling operations at its growing number of brick-and-mortar locations, it would need to expand its e-commerce presence to better compete with big box businesses, both in Modesto and across the state of California. Comcast Business offered the ideal mix of technology solutions for Direct Appliance’s operations, both online and in physical storefronts. “Comcast Business has been a game-changer for us, as its solutions are capable of supporting not only our online pricing and ordering systems, but also members of our staff who work in our showrooms and who travel across California delivering and installing our products,” said Kristofer Winter, president of Direct Appliance. “Thanks to the speed and reliability of our connection, and the flexibility of our mobile solutions, we’re able to focus on what we do best – creating quality experiences for our customers.” Comcast Business' technology solutions provide the connectivity that Direct Appliance staff needs on the ground to deliver quality customer experiences. The connection seamlessly supports the Direct Appliance team’s internet use at showroom locations – a critical operational component, since Direct Appliance’s tags for its products are digital and require reliable bandwidth to access and review. Additionally, Comcast Business Mobile gives Kristopher and his teams the flexibility to connect with each other and customers whenever they need. Simultaneously, the internet connection provides a framework to support Direct Appliance’s plan to put more emphasis on its digital retailing. The internet connection offers the bandwidth and speed needed for Direct Appliance to help keep its website and e-commerce platform up and running, as well as to help effectively manage customer orders and inquiries. “Small businesses are the beating hearts of their communities, helping to spur economic growth and diversity,” said Jacob Mitchell, vice president of sales and marketing for Comcast’s California Region. “Comcast Business’ technology solutions are a perfect match for businesses like Direct Appliance, as we can meet their immediate needs but also work with them to scale our support as they grow their operations.” About Comcast Business Comcast Business offers a broad suite of technology solutions to keep businesses of all sizes ready for what’s next.
