Past livestreams can be shown again and again to help build excitement for the next big event. Live chat: Live chats keep fans in the loop with what’s happening in real-time during a show. “When the pandemic hit, we were completely sidelined and had no meaningful way to connect with our fans,” said Jorge Dias, Manager of Axis Club. “Happin helped put us get back out there and gave us a new way to engage with our fans and supporters.

BettorEdge Surpasses $3.5 Million in Sports Betting Orders in Just Six Months, Since Inception

BettorEdge

BettorEdge, a Minneapolis-based online no-fee sports betting marketplace and social platform connecting sports fans, today announced it has facilitated more than $3.5 million in exchange orders since its launch in January 2021. High interest in the Stanley Cup Playoffs contributed to the boost in orders. Two of these playoff games ranked the highest in BettorEdge’s all-time top five games in volume of orders. The volume of orders on the platform doubled from May to June, as well. BettorEdge is a platform created with the bettor in mind. Instead of losing money to in-house favored lines, deposit fees, withdrawal fees, and the inability to withdraw funds when needed, fans on BettorEdge can trade bets with no fees attached. “Odds are stacked against the bettor with traditional sportsbooks, and we’re changing that,” said James Seils, Co-Founder of BettorEdge. “As bettors ourselves, we knew there was a need for a social marketplace and our growth in just six months validates the need for a betting experience like BettorEdge in this industry.” BettorEdge is uniquely positioned at the forefront of in-play betting as it gains momentum in the American market. Rather than relying on a pricing engine for every live play of a game, BettorEdge users set the market prices, effectively removing the hurdle of requiring a pricing engine. The PGA’s U.S. Open and Travelers Championship in June marked the two busiest weekends of in-play betting for the platform to date. “Our sole purpose is to innovate for the benefit of the sports bettor,” said Greg Kajewski, Co-Founder of BettorEdge. “Our growth is proof positive that putting the power back into the hands of the sports bettor through an engaging social media platform, is the type of experience that bettors are truly looking for. We’re excited to keep innovating our platform for the betterment of the sports bettor and excited to see how our growing audience utilizes our capabilities for the upcoming NFL season.” About BettorEdge BettorEdge was founded in 2019 following a University of Minnesota SportRadar Innovation Challenge. Iowa native founders, now Minnesota residents, had a vision of creating a more efficient sports betting marketplace that offered a better fan experience at no fee to the consumer within the US. BettorEdge has a strong emphasis on giving the edge to the bettor through offering a fair market, providing data and analytics and creating a seamless social community. Access to their webapp can be found at app.bettoredge.com and additional information at BettorEdge.com.

Signarama® Signs Their Way into History with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Title

Signarama

Signarama, ® the world’s largest sign franchise, announced today that it has been recognized by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for setting the record for most signatures on a banner in one hour. During its World Expo event on June 28 th between 10:00AM and 11:00AM in West Palm Beach, the brand successfully captured the needed signatures on the 25-foot banner. The banner was sponsored by Signarama’s preferred vendor partner, GCI Digital Imaging, and themed to celebrate Signarama’s 35 th year in business in 2021 as a continuation of their “we love signs” campaign. “The Signarama brand is proud to hold this record title and it was wonderful to share the moment with our franchisees and vendor partners during our World Expo event,” said A.J. Titus, President of Signarama and United Franchise Group. “The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS ™ title attempt was also done in part to celebrate Signarama’s 35 years in business. We couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate this milestone!” The attempt itself was exciting to witness. The crowd exited the Grand Ballroom at the Palm Beach County Convention Center after the morning’s guest speakers and filed in an orderly fashion around the banner as the timer started. Special guest Jesse Cole, founder of Fans First Entertainment and owner of the Savannah Bananas, was dressed in his famous yellow suit and present among the crowd. Each signature was counted as attendees dropped a registration card into the famous Signarama “Mini” Mini Cooper vehicle on their way by. There was plenty of time still remaining in the hour as the crowd filed by in record time, so the Signarama team made the split-second decision to pick up the banner, and transport it down the escalators to the heart of the trade show floor in order to finish out the remaining minutes of the record attempt. The crowd followed behind the eye-catching procession chanting “we love signs” as they made the trip down the escalators and onto the trade show floor, where Signarama were able to gain a significant number of additional signatures! Guinness World Records adjudicator, Michael Empric, flew in for the event and was present to count each participant. He later officially announced and confirmed the record attempt totaling 689 signatures on-stage in front of all the participants. The minimum number to set this GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS ™ title was 250. The official record title certificate and banner now hang proudly in Signarama Corporate Headquarters in West Palm Beach.

WellSaid Labs Announces $10M Round Led by Fuse to Build “Voices for Every Brand”

WellSaid

WellSaid Labs, the artificial intelligence text-to-speech technology company, announced a $10 million Series A round led by FUSE, with participation from previous investor Voyager, as well as Qualcomm Ventures LLC, and GoodFriends. The Series A was oversubscribed with interest from VCs given the record year-over-year growth in revenue and incredible customer demand. WellSaid Labs plans to use these funds to drive further AI and product innovation, scale go-to-market functions, and grow the team. With a mission to offer businesses and brands the highest quality Text-to-Speech (TTS) service imaginable, WellSaid Labs empowers content creators and product teams to create engaging voice content for infinite use-cases in streaming services, radio, programmatic advertising, digital marketing, and corporate training content. WellSaid Labs has rearchitected TTS to resolve business’ toughest content development problems and deliver an easy way for content creators — big or small — to develop all their desired content in one consistent voice that represents their brand. WellSaid Labs’ Voice Avatar library provides access to multiple read styles and tones anyone can use for their productions. In addition, brands can create their own AI Voice Avatars to spec — capturing the likeness, style, and uniqueness of the voice needed to tell their stories in exactly the right way. “Plain and simple, WellSaid is the future of content creation for voice," said Cameron Borumand, General Partner at FUSE. "This is why thousands of customers love using the product daily with off-the-charts bottom-up adoption. Matt and Michael have assembled a world-class team and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of the WellSaid journey.” Creating natural-sounding speech from text is considered a “ grand challenge ” in the field of AI and has been a research goal for decades. Over the last three years, WellSaid Labs has consistently researched and developed tremendous breakthroughs in the quality, speed and reliability of neural text-to-speech systems. In June 2020, WellSaid Labs' TTS became the first to achieve human parity for naturalness on short audio clips across multiple voices. "We’ve added AI Voice to the toolkit of thousands of content creators and their teams," said Matt Hocking, CEO of WellSaid Labs. "Our human-parity AI voice can be produced faster than real-time, and updated on-demand. Opening up new and exciting opportunities to 'add voice' where never before perceived possible. AI voice easily ensures every production can be created and updated efficiently at scale." “Content creators or product experience designers were previously faced with difficult tradeoffs between quality and scalability when using TTS tools or human voiceover. WellSaid’s incredible voices, which are accessible through a studio application or a scalable API, removes the need to choose whether you want natural, lifelike speech or infinitely scalable and easily editable voice content. WellSaid provides both and delivers it however your team would like to consume it,” said James Newell, Partner at Voyager Capital. “Creative teams have found it to be extremely useful when they need to produce multiple pieces of high-quality content in a consistent voice in hours instead of weeks.” “Recent developments in TTS technology using generative AI have enabled synthetic voices to sound very human-like, finding exciting new applications for voice including e-learning, advertising and news readers," said Carlos Kokron, Vice President at Qualcomm Technologies Inc. and Managing Director at Qualcomm Ventures Americas. “WellSaid Labs provides an industry leading product that generates highly accurate human-like voices. We look forward to working with WellSaid Labs to help fuel the creator economy with human-parity AI voices across mobile and IoT.” "WellSaid's team has applied deep technical expertise to build a platform that enables easy creation and editing of incredibly life-like audio," said Dave Gilboa of Good Friends and co-CEO of Warby Parker. "We see meaningful growth potential in the use of high-quality audio in giving brands the ability to communicate with customers and creators the ability to engage with audiences." WellSaid Studio eliminates the complexities traditional text-to-speech technologies present to creatives — making the production, updating, and publishing of voiceovers extremely simple and cost effective. Product developers access WellSaid Labs’ core AI engine via real time APIs to power up digital experiences with a reliable and scalable voice infrastructure.

Tapatío Hot Sauce Partners with comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias to Celebrate 50th Anniversary

Tapatio Hot Sauce

Tapatío Hot Sauce, a national leader in the hot sauce industry, is celebrating 50 years since its creation in Southern California. And to commemorate this milestone, Tapatio has produced an exclusive 50th Anniversary memorabilia collection and all-new commemorative merchandise line. As part of the anniversary celebrations. Tapatío Hot Sauce has partnered with comedian and actor Gabriel " Fluffy" Iglesias to create a limited edition bottle, which features " Fluffy" and his beloved pet chihuahuas. The collaboration also includes a video series available on all social media platforms featuring " Fluffy" with local celebrity chefs including Chef Ludo Lefebvre from Petit Trois, Bricia Lopez from Guelaguetza, Chef Mario Christerna from Brooklyn Ave Pizza, and Chef Wes Avila of Angry Egret Dinette. “Like so many Californians, I grew up enjoying Tapatío with my family and friends, and have continued to do so for more than 30 years.” said " Fluffy". “And It’s a real honor and privilege to be featured on the front of the iconic bottle today; Tapatío is Mexican royalty – and I get to be King for a day!” Founder and CEO Jose-Luis Saavedra, Sr established the company’s humble beginnings in 1971. He had been laid off from his job and needed to provide for his family. At the time there were only three major hot sauce brands on the market, and Jose-Luis felt his own hot sauce tasted better. This inspired him to create Tapatío (the name given to people from Guadalajara, Mexico, his childrens’ birthplace). To make it happen, Jose-Luis leased a 750 square-foot building in Maywood, in Los Angeles County, and began with only the 5-ounce bottle size. Fourteen years later, Saavedra Sr realized he needed a bigger warehouse and moved Tapatío into a 8,500 square-foot warehouse less than a mile away. His three children, then out of college, joined him. His son, Luis Saavedra Jr, graduated medical school but gave up a career in medicine to help his father grow the family business. He is now Vice President of Tapatío and runs the company with his two sisters, Dolores Saavedra-McCoy, who completed law school and is now a Partner & Director of Merchandising, and Jacqueline Saavedra-Mora, who has a degree in Business Administration and is a Partner and Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, three members of the third generation of the Saavedra family also work at Tapatío. And it’s as a result of this continuity that Tapatío has remained true to its humble origins, producing the same high-quality, great-tasting product that can be found in households across the country and around the world. Today, Tapatío is housed in a custom-built, state-of-the-art, 30,000 square-foot facility in Vernon, CA. And Jose-Luis Saavedra Sr continues to work seven days a week, regularly visiting the warehouse. It’s thanks to his original vision that Tapatío is the #1 hot sauce on the West Coast, the third best-selling hot sauce in the United States, and is exported to more than 30 countries. “When Tapatio was founded more than five decades ago, we had no idea it would grow into the household name it has become today,” said Luis Saavedra Jr. “We’re still dedicated to providing quality products and service to our customers, and we’re always tailoring our approach to meet our customers’ needs, both at home and around the world. We’re excited to celebrate 50 years of business with Fluffy and look forward to another 50 years to come!” Link to Tapatio webstore: Shop — Tapatio Hot Sauce View the Tapatio 50th Anniversary video series here: Tapatio YouTube Channel Tapatio Foods, LLC was founded in 1971 from humble beginnings. Fifty years later, Tapatio is still a family-run business and has grown to become a staple, not only in Hispanic households but in most American households. It is the #1 hot sauce in the west, the #3 hot sauce in the USA, and is now exporting globally! Tapatio is a sauce that can be used with everything and is available in many different sizes.
