TATAU wins Trescon’s ICO Grand Slam and Startup World Cup Dubai Regional

Tatau, the distributed supercomputing platform for artificial intelligence, won both pitch competitions, which was Fenox VC’s Startup World Competition Regional Qualifiers and Trescon’s ICO Grand Slam.

Blockchain-powered distributed compute provider Tatau claimed the top spot on both days of the World Blockchain Summit on 24-25 October 2018 in Dubai this year by comprehensively winning Trescon’s ICO Grand Slam and Fenox VC’s Startup World Cup regional qualifiers.

On day one of the summit, Martyn Levy, Co-Founder of Tatau, was crystal clear and precise whilst pitching his blockchain company to a panel of esteemed jurors. Through an undisputed vote, Tatau was judged the winner of the ICO Grand Slam, securing an investment of US$100,000 towards the development of their product.

But, as an extra golden feather in their cap, the company floored the panelists during the regional qualifiers of the Startup World Cup on day two, thus clinching an additional prize. ‘Team Tatau’ won an all-expenses-paid trip to San Francisco to compete with other regional winners for the US$1 Million grand prize, conducted by Fenox VC.

Co-Founder of Tatau, Martyn Levy, said that “Tatau is delighted to win both of these titles, back-to-back, at the World Blockchain Summit in Dubai. It’s been an adrenalin-filled couple of days with strong competition interspersed with some excellent conference content, and the judges’ feedback has been invaluable”.

He further added that “We are looking forward to competing in the grand finals in San Francisco next May, though right now we are focused on executing our business plan, growth strategy and mission which is, of course, to accelerate innovation in the AI space by providing the world with cost-effective GPU-based compute. Thanks to Saleem and the Trescon team for an excellent event”.

Mohammed Saleem, CEO of Trescon, stated that “Tatau and Martyn were clear from the beginning regarding their idea, and it was evident during their pitch to both sets of panelists and jurors. The best startup won, and we wish the team all the very best for the finals in San Francisco”. 

Nithin Eapen, Chief Investment Officer & Partner, Arcadia Crypto Ventures, and one of the competition judges, noted that he “chose to award Tatau with the top spot, in both competitions, because it exceeded expectations in all of the major assessment areas: founded by a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, significant and growing market opportunity, executable go-to-market market strategy, product gaining traction in market, and the ability to tell the story impactfully on-stage”.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
