 Episode 12-How RobotVera is Massively Disrupting a Massive, Mass-recruiting Industry With AI and Generating Seemingly Insane Profit Margins. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3655

ROBOT VERA WAS BORN IN THE END OF 2016. THE FIRST PROJECTS WITH LARGE CUSTOMERS WENT LIVE IN MARCH 2017. THE COMPANY'S MONTHLY REVENUE HAS BEEN INCREASING BY 50-100% AND THE GROSS MARGINS NOW REACH 80%. Alpha-version of Vera was released a few months ago. Robot Vera specialises in mass (typical) hiring, and does all the work 10 or more times faster than a human recruiter: three hours instead of three weeks. Robot Vera is fully automated and saves up to 50% of the costs for hiring employees, Vera also enables the forecasting of such expenses. Over the last six months, Vera has been implemented by 150+ customers and brought them 60+ thousand qualified responses. As a result — several thousand people were able to find a job. Each month we receive up to 400 incoming requests for the use of Robot Vera’s services — all that with zero marketing budget. And more recently, the company has contracted four major partners who now re-sell Robot Vera’s services. Robot Vera is able to recognise the candidate's emotions in video interviews and also conduct conversations in virtual reality (VR). It is also learning to lead a "live conversation" and answer the counter-questions of applicants about the vacancy and the employer. The company has raised investments from the Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF), one of the most active venture capital funds in Europe. Over the last 1.5 years, IIDF has invested more than $1.1 million into the company. In spring 2017, the first pilot projects with international customers were launched. WHAT IS A VERACOIN (VERA) The virtual equivalent of Robot Vera’s services. One VERA token is equal to a single response, which means one candidate for the robot-recruiter, a candidate who is perfectly suited for a vacant position, and ready to come for an interview.
At the moment, Robot Vera is generating around a thousand responses daily for more than 150 of its customers. For the purposes of the ICO, we have converted 15.7 million future responses into VERA tokens and will be offering 5.5 million of them for purchase on the market. VERA TOKEN HOLDERS WILL BE ABLE TO * — Exchange their VERA tokens for company’s services with a discount. * — Be among the first to test the company's new services. * — Give a VERA token to someone who wants to use Robot Vera’s services. * — Transfer VERA tokens on a blockchain exchange to another owner at a different price. * — Return a VERA token to the company at a different price. https://robotvera.com/ https://ico.robotvera.com/

 Episode 6- Protect Yourself As You Profit: How To Avoid Dangers Lurking In The Crypto World | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2391

We have brought back one of our favourite guests for this episode. Hit play and listen to Paul Walsh from MetaCert, who talks about how important it is to stay safe in the crypto communities on various platforms and how you can take measures to prevent attacks! ABOUT THE GUEST On today’s episode, we have one of our previous guests, Paul walsh who’s been ensuring safety whilst clicking on links. Paul is the founder of MetaCert, a security company that protects the crypto community from phishing attacks on mainstream messaging applications. He co-instigated the creation of the W3C Standard for URL Classification/Content Labelling and is one of the seven original Founders of the W3C Mobile Web Initiative. He owns a full patent for the checking of URIs for Malware and Phishing inside mobile apps. WHAT’S NEW? (2.36) We have been in the cryptocurrency world for 4 weeks now and we've already hit a 100 million messages inside slack alone. This shows how big our utility is. The number of people who received an alert is 58 k who are members of the community. And the total number of alerts should be more than that according to me. But these are the people who have MetaCert. The only other security app relying on other companies like MetaCert to secure slack hit 16 million but we have 1.2 billion messages on the whole with 1 million in the crypto world HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM MALICIOUS LINKS? (6:11) We're monitoring all that and logging it all. We plan to build a global central threat intelligence system. When we are monitoring communities, we see attacks happening over multiple communities with the same person being the culprit sometimes. We have come up with a way to stop attacks as soon as they are on slack API or chat bots. As soon as they happen, we catch the culprit who'll be immediately blocked. That website will be labelled. So that other people will know. The person will be banned. This will thus be based on behaviour of phishers. SHOULDN'T THIS BE ON SLACK OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR PLATFORM ORGANICALLY? THAN JUST COMMUNITIES? (11:14) We had a talk with slack and they are not interested in working with us. They wanted to use Google safe browsing API. In my opinion that's a bad decision because I have a full patent and MetaCert already has the world's biggest advance threat intelligence system which would react much more quickly to phishing attacks. We're able to classify attacks in a way Google can't. Maybe they'll realise our advantage in the future. Slack is designed for communities where by you verify the integrity of the person who joined. It wasn't designed to cope with communities where you would have people joining it without knowing if they can be trusted. Most companies with a huge number of employees are concerned a lot about internal hacks compared to external hacks. Humans are the weakest links not the software. What I articulated to slack was that they need to be mindful about communities because they comprise of thousands of powerful people are working in big companies who're probably going to never use slack in case there's a problem with security. This would be a huge customer loss for slack. And Instead of saying we don't support communities they need to take actions to protect them. WHAT ABOUT TELEGRAM? YOU SAID THAT YOU WEREN'T ON IT THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE (13:31) We’re currently doubling down on slack which is a bigger challenge for the vast majority of people in crypto. Thus, we're not working on telegram now. We're working on browser add-ons which will protect you in a similar way our slack app does. We will put telegram on the roadmap. Nothing until 3-4 months. Which we realise is a long-term in the crypto world. ARE YOU LOOKING AT OTHER THREATS OR JUST PHISHING? (15:16) We’re looking at Wallet address. When you open a website, which is verified you are able to see the URL in green. We want to do something similar with wallet addresses I h(continued)

 Episode 5- Bye-bye Silicon Valley. Hello ICO! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3135

ABOUT THE GUEST Jill Richmond is a Partner at Ark Advisory. Ark Advisory has built an end-to-end process for managing the full process of raising capital in digital markets. She has worked with over a dozen successful ICOs and token sales within the past several months driving the global marketing and investor relations efforts. She previously founded two technology companies and worked for the World Bank Innovation Practice and is a regular Forbes contributor. Being from an economics background and having worked at the World Bank, Jill has always been intrigued by the crypto world and making the unbanked bankable. She got into cryptocurrencies when she was pulled into a project in November of 2016, working for marketing of Singular dtv, which raised 12.5M dollars through initial coin offering (ICO). This intrigued her further which resulted in her consulting for them. WHY ARE ICOS LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD (10:20) Syndicates have a larger number of people participating in them than would have been possible in another scenario and the ability for them to raise money in a way they haven’t before. With ICOs this has been made possible. One example could be Sensay and sense token. In another environment a female founder would have had a hard time raising money this conveniently. This is not the only instance where ICOs are levelling the field but also token sales. Also, geographically and by the product for which the money is being raised itself, ICOs are helping in levelling the field. NETWORK EFFECT OF ICOS (20:00) The most interesting thing about token sales is the fact that people who invest in them are probably the initial group of end users. This network effect is one of the incentives of the token sale. Thinking through the economics of the token sales and how it plans to incentivise the users and the retailers are some of the important things to be looked at before a token sale. Jill mentions that there are different categories of people involved in token sales. They include Underwriters who are supporting the running of the actual sale, retail investors who are the larger investment pool, traders who are traders on secondary market and finally the natural buyers and users of the future system who actually end up using the resource. And the token sales are pre-designed in such a way that they are maximising the contribution pool thus people who are investing are also the people who end up developing the community. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD? (27:30) For the company, what they’re building requires a network effect, so they have to think broad and in terms of potential global participation and enhance the value of what they’re building. That way it levels the playing field. The idea of participating in a massive future infrastructure of a project is fantastic and exciting for everyone involved. WHAT ARE YOUR INSIGHTS ON THE AVERAGE JOE WHO HAS A VERY FOGGY IDEA ABOUT AN ICO? (32:30) You’re starting to see 2 things that are happening which is great, the space is growing really fast, the material & automation that is available, the open source & technology that is available for these companies are starting to grow up a lot. There are places like Superbloom Capital that is starting to democratize this process on the flipside. So, the good news is that there is a lot of package-able support & information for someone looking to get into the space. The ICO Handbook by David Siegel is especially brilliant. IF YOU WANT TO DO A TOKEN SALE OR ICO, WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEPS YOU’D TAKE? (36:30) First, figure what your token is. Explore the role, purpose and features of the token. That is the first thing to start and understand. Challenge your token. Do your due diligence & a peer review. Then, you get your lawyers involved. But it always starts with how is your token structured? What are your assets? These are questions you need to answer before the sale. In terms of r(continued)
