How Shapeways Is Helping Small And Midsized Manufacturers Digitize Their Operations Through Its Proprietary Software

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHPW), a major player in the field of digital manufacturing, is currently redefining the global manufacturing industry. Shapeways is achieving this shift through enabling on-demand manufacturing and simplifying complex production through its proprietary software system. The company is helping other small and midsized manufacturers do the same, providing access to Shapeways’ proprietary software and supporting them in digitizing their operations, growing revenue, and expanding manufacturing capabilities. “The manufacturing industry is one of the largest markets that has yet to be digitized. We see large manufacturing companies investing in digital transformation, but the smaller and midsized players have often missed out,” shared Gregory Kress, CEO of Shapeways. “We want to help them achieve the same benefits as those larger companies.” Realizing a need–and recognizing the opportunity–to reshape manufacturing, Shapeways responded with the launch of OTTO, a proprietary software platform that streamlines ordering, performs file analysis, and accelerates production. OTTO offers advantages beyond optimizing labor efficiency, asset utilization, and inventory costs. This powerful software platform also strengthens relationships between manufacturers and their customers, encouraging growth and paving the way for future opportunities. Acquiring MFG in 2022, Shapeways further reinforced the connection between their manufacturers and buyers by deploying software features and services to the platform. MFG.com now provides an end-to-end procurement and management system, helping manufacturers increase productivity and revenue. The MFG service benefits business owners, industrial designers, and engineers. Shapeways recently introduced MFG Materials, a new software offering on the MFG platform. This addition provides manufacturers with access to a wide range of raw materials at an average discount of 15% off list prices. Reflecting Shapeways' commitment to the manufacturing sector, this innovative solution is designed to tap into the large and growing global raw materials market, with aluminum alone valued at $169.8 billion in 2021. This market is projected to reach $277.5 billion by 2030, according to Precedence Research. Building on user feedback, Shapeways also developed MFG Transactions within the MFG platform. Requested by 92% of MFG buyers, this practical solution allows manufacturers to handle invoices and payments directly. Shapeways introduced the 3D Model Viewer too, a sophisticated tool that simplifies the quoting experience, showcasing all the files a potential buyer uploads with their RFQ (including 2D files). The 3D Model Viewer not only enables interactive highlighting and grouping of intricate details, but also delivers precise measurements and superior visualization techniques. Leading with world-renowned expertise and advanced software, Shapeways is well-positioned to revolutionize the manufacturing landscape. By extending their innovative, on-demand manufacturing services and software to a broad range of industries, Shapeways allows other companies to tap into their knowledge and insights to remain competitive in an ever-changing modern market.

News Release

Three of the Best Passive Income Altcoins: Vechain (VET), Lido DAO (LDO), Everlodge (ELDG)

Total Media

In the dynamic realm of cryptocurrencies, there are select altcoins that stand out for their potential to provide passive income. Among these, Vechain (VET), Everlodge (ELDG), and Lido DAO (LDO) are prominent names that have gained traction. Particularly, Everlodge piques interest as it is currently in its presale phase, presenting a golden opportunity for early investors to get involved in what could be a promising source of steady earnings. Join the Everlodge presale and win a luxury holiday to the Maldives Everlodge (ELDG): A Fresh Take on Property Investments By introducing fractional property ownership through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Everlodge promises a tantalizing proposition: owning a slice of luxury properties, like a $9 million New York apartment, for an investment as low as $100. Real estate, traditionally considered one of the most stable investments, combined with the agility and flexibility of blockchain, has created a formula that's attracting millionaires like magnets. They see it not only as a chance to diversify their portfolios but as an opportunity to be part of an innovative wave set to revolutionize property investments. Everlodge's property NFTs, backed by tangible assets, offer an unparalleled level of security in the crypto space. The digital tokens represent real estate ownership, which can be traded or sold seamlessly on the platform. But that's not all. The Rewards Club feature allows investors to earn complimentary stays in luxurious properties, further blurring the lines between luxury experiences and investment assets. Members can even "flip" their earned nights, introducing yet another source of passive income. The currency of this novel ecosystem, the ELDG token, is the linchpin that holds all these features together. Holders can even stake their ELDG for passive income staking rewards. For early investors, the potential upside is enormous. The token's initial offering at a mere $0.010 during phase 1 of the presale allows investors to get on board at the lowest price point possible. With all these features — real estate-backed NFTs, rewards club, staking opportunities — there's no doubt that Everlodge is one of the best passive income altcoins in the market today. Analysts can see the ELDG token rising to $1.00 as it begins to pick up steam. Vechain (VET): Simplified Rewards with Mobile Wallet VeChain is a blockchain-based platform that was founded in 2015 with the aim of disrupting the supply chain industry. Vechain has become one of the leading players in this space due to its innovative use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and smart contracts. VeChain works on a dual-token model, in which the VTHO token is used to power transactions within the platform. This creates a passive income stream for holders of the native VET token by incentivizing them to hold their tokens instead of selling them on exchanges. All staking can be done via the mobile wallet, so users don't need to invest in specialized hardware or make any technical knowledge. Furthermore, the staking rewards are distributed on a daily basis, so users can quickly start earning income from their VeChain holdings. The only downside is the slow bleed in the VeChain price. After hitting $0.28 in 2021, VeChain has fallen 94% to a current price of just $0.01663. Analysts see the VeChain price oscillating between $0.010 and $0.020 until a crypto-wide bull run emerges. Lido DAO (LDO): Decentralized Earnings, But a Shift to Everlodge (ELDG) Presale Lido DAO is the leading decentralized staking infrastructure. In Q1 2023, Lido DAO soared from a mere $0.93 to an impressive $3.32, primarily driven by excitement surrounding the Lido V2 protocol. However, this meteoric rise was ephemeral, with Lido DAO retracing to its present rate of $1.67. Technical analysis indicates that Lido DAO is ensnared within a symmetrical triangle pattern, a formation that typically heralds a notable price shift. As the pattern's climax approaches at the end of August, Lido DAO market participants remain on tenterhooks, forecasting either an upward thrust revisiting the $3.32 mark or a downward drift to the $1.00 Lido DAO support zone. On the other hand, Everlodge has successfully resisted Bitcoin's bearish undertow, consistently climbing and distinguishing itself from the prevailing market trajectory. Such tenacity could pique the interest of Lido DAO investors scouting for promising prospects amidst turbulent times.

Comcast and Pikes Peak Library District Partner to Boost Library Wi-Fi

Comcast Colorado

Comcast in Colorado is partnering with Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) to bring Comcast Lift Zone connectivity centers to four Library locations in Colorado Springs: Library 21c, as well as Penrose, East, and Ruth Holley libraries. Comcast Lift Zones provide an additional free Wi-Fi network that will increase the number of Internet users the Library can support at once without compromising quality of service. Comcast started Lift Zones as part of its ongoing commitment to connect low-income families to the Internet so they can fully participate in educational opportunities and the digital economy (called digital equity). The COVID-19 pandemic revealed disparities in digital equity, and Comcast responded by bringing Lift Zones to education and community centers. “Access to high-speed internet and digital skills training is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, making connectivity more important than ever. We are honored to partner with Pikes Peak Library District to ensure more people in the Colorado Springs area have access to fast, reliable, and secure connectivity year-round,” said J.D. Keller, Sr. Vice President, Comcast Mountain West Region. “From doing homework, searching for jobs, accessing healthcare services and so much more, partnerships like the one with Pikes Peak Library District are important to make sustainable progress to advancing economic mobility and promoting digital equity in our communities.” “Lift Zones at these libraries will be valuable assets for our whole community, especially for people who don’t have access to Wi-Fi at home. It will be easier to do things like search and apply for jobs, download documents for work and school, meet virtually, collaborate virtually on large creative projects, or enjoy leisure activities like downloading games or streaming shows,” said Lance James, chief development officer and foundation executive officer of the PPLD Foundation. “Access to high-speed internet and digital skills training is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, making connectivity more important than ever.

This hybrid model aims to offer deep liquidity, anonymity, and fast execution.

Choosing between these platforms will depend on individual preferences, trading goals, and values. Tradecurve's planned features and high leverage may attract experienced and privacy-conscious traders, while WeBull's accessibility and educational resources may appeal to a broader audience.

Weekday secures $2.2m funding as it tackles critical trust gap in hiring tech teams with its reference focus

Weekday

Sourcing talent has been challenging recently but hiring the correct talent has been painful for a lot longer. A key feature when hiring is the reference check process, which has become a redundant tick box exercise for recruiters and over 95% are not seeking references from their previous colleagues to gain insights into their past work performance and behaviors, and assess their suitability for the role. In addressing this pressing concern, Weekday has today launched from stealth with a $2.2m seed funding round to supercharge the hiring landscape through the power of trusted references. The funding round was led by Venture Highway with participation from several influential angel investors. Weekday is a Y-Combinator backed business. Founded in 2021 by Amit Singh, Anubav Malik and Chetan Dalal, Weekday has been operational in beta mode until today. Its genesis lies in the pain point the founders faced (in a previous startup) which centered on hiring a technology team. Despite the plethora of tools available, it took 3 months to find their first engineer but remained unconvinced. So, they turned to their network to get references which validated the individual and their skill set. This ended up almost doubling their candidate pipeline. Now, the three founders are productising the same approach of hiring with Weekday starting with a focus on tech hires. Weekday invites software engineers to connect their social graph (i.e. LinkedIn and Contacts) and gives them a readymade shortlist to refer talent to various companies. Weekday gamifies the experience and makes this unique data of references available for recruiters. Weekday hosts multiple people’s references and companies can utilize the “Backchannel” feature to get background references (from former colleagues) on every candidate they interact with; making hiring less about resumes and interviews; and more about real-life experiences and capabilities. For companies, Weekday is a sourcing engine on auto-pilot; where they can not only find candidates but also reach out to them automatically while getting reference checks on them in an instant. After 4 days of signing up, they start getting candidates suggestions with ready back channel references on their calendar to interview. Amit Singh, CEO and Co-founder of Weekday commented: “People check and rely on reviews nowadays for everything, be that going to a restaurant or buying anything on Amazon. But, when it comes to making the important decision of hiring someone, they are happy to rely on a self reported resume. We did a survey of more than 200 companies’ hiring process and while a majority did a basic background check on candidates (ie criminal record or whether they actually worked in their previous organization), less than 5% of companies use reference checks from previous colleagues to make their hiring decisions. This often leads to wrong hires. Eventually leading to firing; which ends up being detrimental to both employer as well as the employee. We want to change that. We want to solve the problem of lack of trust in the hiring process. We believe that a recruiting platform with “references” as the cornerstone is the solution that solves all these problems. We are what LinkedIn should have been.” Over 120 companies have used Weekday for their hiring needs. These recruiters are attracted because of the large pool of passive candidates (those who are not actively looking for a new role) who have been recommended by their peers which means the quality of candidates is much superior to any job board based platform. Moreover, with remote hiring on the rise, trust becomes even more important and so having references really matters to recruiters. “While most other company functions like design, product, dev tools, and sales have seen breakthrough products in the last 5-6 years, recruitment still hasn't. LinkedIn is a 20-year-old company that continues to be the de-facto platform for recruitment. We are partnering with Weekday as they try to change that” said Aviral Bhatnagar from Venture Highway Weekday is currently focused on companies hiring remote software engineers. Majority of these companies are headquartered in the US while the majority of the candidates are based in India and Southeast Asia. About Weekday Weekday is a Y Combinator backed startup solving for recruitment via its crowdsourced reference network. Weekday ( http://weekday.works/), helps startups hire engineers who are vouched by other software engineers. They have worked with over 100 companies (specializing in seed and Series A funded startups) and have helped them hire CTOs, Tech Leads, and Senior Software Engineers. They have worked with companies like Coinbase, Clipboard Health, AtoB, Daloopa, Zepto, Round Finance etc. Weekday is a sourcing engine on auto-pilot for these companies, that finds candidates as well as facilitates outreach to them; and sends interested parties to interview with ready references.

With $2 Billion In Assets Under Management Across 57 Properties, This Company Targets An Essential Recession-Resilient Niche In The Real Estate Market

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Necessity-based real estate refers to properties that are essential for everyday living. This includes sectors such as healthcare facilities, grocery stores, multifamily housing and more. Investing in necessity-based real estate can be a great tool for investors to build stable diversification — a layer of resilience and a safeguard around their investments against market swings. Unlike other types of real estate, necessity-based properties tend to have consistent demand even during economic downturns. This relative stability in demand helps to mitigate the risks associated with market fluctuations, and investing in necessity-based real estate allows investors to diversify their portfolios. By including these stable and essential property types in their investment strategy, investors can minimize risk, safeguard their capital and achieve long-term financial resilience. First National Realty Partners (FNRP) is a renowned necessity-based real estate firm that has established itself as the leader and inventor of the specific industry. The company was the #1 privately-held acquirer of grocery-anchored retail real estate in 2022. With its unique and effective approach, First National Realty Partners utilizes its Dragnet Acquisitions Model to identify exceptional properties nationwide that align perfectly with their stringent investment criteria. Once these carefully selected properties are identified, FNRP initiates the acquisition process. Their team meticulously develops tailored business plans for each individual property, ensuring a comprehensive and strategic approach. Concurrently, they raise the capital required for the investment, leveraging their extensive network of investors. Upon completing the due diligence process in collaboration with industry experts and cultivated relationships, FNRP proceeds to close on the property and assume control. This is where their expertise shines as they deploy their team to each property, verifying the meticulous due diligence performed and engaging with existing tenants to solidify their business plan for the property's success. With full ownership in place, the team uses its in-house management approach to maintain cost control, seamlessly execute value-add initiatives and ensure high-quality standards are upheld. A History of Real Estate Success With an impressive track record of success, FNRP has established itself as the go-to investment firm for those seeking to navigate the ever-changing market and achieve long-term wealth preservation. With over $2 billion in assets under management, FNRP has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver results for investors. Their portfolio boasts an impressive 57 current assets held, showcasing their expertise in identifying and acquiring high-quality properties that align with their investment strategy. Since its inception, FNRP has distributed over $100 million to its valued investors, a testament to their commitment to generating returns. Their successful growth is evidenced by the acquisition of over 11.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) across 23 states, solidifying their nationwide presence and extending their reach to diverse markets. What truly sets FNRP apart is its extensive network of 2,500+ accredited investors. This broad investor base reflects the trust and confidence placed in the firm by individuals who recognize their ability to consistently deliver solid opportunities for wealth creation and preservation. With its sector expertise, noteworthy track record, and commitment to excellence, FNRP stands as a leading necessity-based real estate firm. Learn more about FNRP’s upcoming deals here.
