Markets Could Remain Volatile Throughout 2023 – FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Frontier View Helps Navigate The Turbulence And Stay Ahead

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, December 2022 marked the end of the “ worst quarter since 2009 barring lockdown months” in terms of global business activity. The observation also reflects in the broad investor sentiment one quarter into 2023 – one of slow growth and volatile markets. The Standard & Poor 500 Index, a popular market proxy, began 2023 with a monthly rise of 6.18% in January. Since this encouraging start, however, the index has failed to maintain momentum, dropping 2.61% in February and gaining roughly 2% in March. The market teeters slightly above yearly highs while investors await the conclusion of a banking crisis triggered by Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse and rising interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve. In markets like these, information and insight are crucial to spotting business threats and seizing rare opportunities. As a technology company specializing in the analysis and tracking of legislation and regulations in the U.S. and abroad, FiscalNote Holdings Inc.

‘Ready for Ron’ Now ‘Ready to Win’

Ready for Ron

For more than a year, Ready for Ron, an independent group working to Draft Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to run for President, actively built support for his candidacy. A petition with more than 250,000 signatures (and a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission to share it) tens of thousands of TV and online ads, along with millions of phone calls, mail pieces, and emails, and a grassroots and coalitions program has done its job - Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to soon announce he’s running for President. With Governor DeSantis about to become an official candidate, Ready for Ron is changing its name to ‘Ready to Win’ to reflect its singular mission to nominate and elect Ron DeSantis to win in 2024. “We spent an entire year running thousands of TV ads, millions of mailings, and tens of millions of online, email, and social connections to drive the narrative – Ron DeSantis will be our next President,” stated Ed Rollins, Ready to Win’s Chief Political Strategist. “We built an infrastructure. We completely changed the discussion. With a quarter million petition signers calling for him to run we are thrilled that we see our goal achieved - Ron DeSantis entering the Presidential race. He may well be the only leader who can defeat Joe Biden.” In addition to its outreach and engagement initiatives, Ready for Ron worked with Impact Social to analyze the online and social media discussion in relation to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump among swing voters. The data clearly and consistently shows Ron DeSantis can beat Joe Biden, and Donald Trump simply can’t. Additional data research with multiple vendors covering more than 19 million voters affirms these findings. “Winning the nomination and the general election requires us all to work together to build this movement and save our nation,” stated Ready to Win Counsel, Dan Backer. “Our groundbreaking research debunked the bad polling plaguing Republicans for more than eight years. Using cutting edge massive data monitoring proves what everyone already knows - Donald Trump’s supporters are loyal and loud, but confined to only a sliver of the population that cannot grow. Moderate, swing, and independent voters are not coming back to Trump, ever, and he cannot possibly win the general Election – Ron DeSantis can.” “Voters young and old both know Governor DeSantis has a proven track record of standing up for America’s values. He is committed to defending the rights of parents, getting inflation and government spending under control, and solving the problems the radical left is causing. He dares to say no to the bullies, no matter how powerful they may seem. He can deliver safe streets, sane schools, and a soaring economy,” stated Gabriel Llanes, Executive Director of Ready to Win. “DeSantis is much more than a politician with savvy instincts; he is a public servant through and through. No ego to get in the way because he is about results.” “We will continue our ground-up grassroots efforts in key primary states, doing the hard work to train and mobilize a volunteer army to nominate, and elect, our next great American president,” Rollins continued. We feel DeSantis is well prepared to be the candidate to win the Republican nomination and beat President Biden. We are officially, Ready to Win!” ### For more information or to schedule an interview with a Ready to Win spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@readyforron.com.

Due to record anticipated travelers for the weekend, OYO is offering discounted stays to help travelers plan their holidays within their budget. Travelers can avail 33% off on all stays from 27 th to 31 st May 2023. With this 33% off discount offer, travelers can book 2 nights and get 1 night stay for free at select OYO hotels across the US. To redeem the offer, customers need to book their stay on the OYO app or website and enter the promo code “MEMORIALDAY.” Customers can also book by calling our representatives on +1 405-342-7056. OYO is also seeing increased demand in cities like Atlanta, Houston, San Antonio & Jackson. Speaking about the upcoming season, Gautam Swaroop, CEO OYO International said, “Memorial Day is an important holiday for the Americans. We are preparing for the busy summer season across the states, which officially kicks off this weekend. We anticipate a surge in bookings, as reports suggest that 42.3 million Americans will be traveling 50 miles or more for the long weekend, an increase of 2.7 million compared to 2022. We expect record-breaking hotel bookings within city limits and along highways, as a vast majority of Americans, approximately 37.1 million travelers, will be hitting the road.” OYO offers hotels access to a large base of regular customers through its app and website, and lists hotels on multiple Online Travel Agents (OTAs) to boost booking demand and revenue. OYO’s best-in-class Artificial Intelligence-enabled pricing software automatically drives the best booking prices across all channels, based on room type, seasonality and other factors, therefore, enabling such an increase in online revenues. OYO has started offering hotels the flexibility of not having to invest heavily in redoing the hotel to join the OYO platform, something that other budget hotel chains insist on. Therefore, the initial investment to join OYO is minimal. It has been focusing instead on standardizing service led components such as customer support and booking experience. The company helps ensure great experience for customers, with ease of search and a quick booking experience, highly competitive room prices as per market demand patterns, automated tools such as Artificial Intelligence powered chatbots to quickly resolve customer queries, loyalty programs and easy refund, if needed. Earlier this year OYO said that it is planning to add over 100 hotels in the US in 2023. This is nearly double the number of hotels the company added to its portfolio in 2022. OYO will focus on adding more hotels in the states of Oregon, Washington, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia and Florida. Texas continues to be the largest and fastest growing market for OYO in the US, while it also has sizable concentration of hotels in Oregon, South and North Carolina, Florida & Georgia. In 2022, the company saw a ~23% increase in new hotels added to its portfolio in the US vs 2021. Furthermore, OYO’s US operations have outpaced the budget hotel segment in terms of revenue per available room (RevPar) with an 18% rise in RevPar in 2022 vs pre-covid year, 2019. In contrast the budget hotel segment grew by only 6% in the US. The company also achieved a 48% growth in revenue from bookings on its own platform, such as the app, website, mobile web and call centers in Q4 2022 vs same period in 2021. OYO’s app saw highest growth with a 99% surge in revenue from bookings in Q4 2022 vs same period in 2021. The company had earlier disclosed that its app is the second most downloaded travel app with over 100 million downloads globally.

Showtime: World’s first personalized human video platform Gan.ai raises $5.25M helping brands drop tailored video campaigns

Gan.ai

Brands have been able to personalize text, images and audio in their marketing campaigns for years and with the onset of AI resources, this has helped them scale their work. Today, Generative AI video platform Gan.ai is announcing a $5.25M seed funding round as they breach the final frontier of personalizing video for mass marketing campaigns. The funding round was led by Surge, Sequoia Capital India and Southeast Asia’s rapid scale-up program with participation from Emergent Ventures and other angel investors. With Gan.ai’s studio-quality video personalization software, brands simply need to record a video once, add dynamic keywords to a script, and Gan.ai will generate millions of hyper-customized videos in one click. Businesses can also create personalized landing pages with Gan.ai and deliver videos via preferred communications platforms, enabling specific interactions with users and tailored call-to-actions. The platform integrates with Shopify, Calendly, Stripe, Salesforce and Hubspot for businesses to create unique shopping and payment experiences also. Moreover, Gan.ai’s end-to-end solution also provides businesses with granular customer insights and video performance analytics. Gan.ai was founded in March 2021 by Suvrat Bhooshan and is headquartered in California, US. Suvrat previously worked at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) having completed his masters degree in computer science from Stanford University. His deep-learning papers have been published and cited over 300 times. Today, they are a team of 35 with a leadership team that includes Anupreet Singh as Chief Revenue Officer and Kushaagra Goyal as Chief Technology Officer. Anupreet Singh was US and Europe lead at Mettl (acquired by Mercer) and scaled up business from zero. Most recently, he was the GTM leader at Slintel (acquired by 6sense), where he achieved 0-$5M ARR in just two years. Kushaagra Goyal, leads the development of their disruptive generative AI technology. He has five years of experience working at Databricks, Rubrik and Samsung. He has published over ten patents in this field. Gan.ai is solving a pressing need for businesses as video becomes the go-to means in engaging users. The amount of online video people are watching has almost doubled since 2018, and an overwhelming 86% of businesses use video as a marketing tool. However, creating videos can often be a time-consuming process which lacks personalization when it comes to targeting a large audience. Suvrat Bhooshan, Founder and CEO of Gan.ai commented: “We’re empowering marketing teams around the world to generate a higher return on investment for video campaigns. Imagine a food delivery company being able to send a personalized video from a brand ambassador, addressing its customer by name and how they enjoyed items in their last order, or a clinic reminding a patient to book a follow-up appointment. This hyper-personalization leads to much higher conversion rates vs other static forms of communications. With Gan.ai, businesses will be able to scale their video personalization process while seamlessly integrating it with existing workflows. We’re excited to grow our operations with the new funds, and expand our sales and engineering teams across US and India,” he said. Gan.ai boasts a global customer base that includes brands such as Samsung, Zomato, vivo and gaming platform Mobile Premier League. In the US, Gan.ai has been used by some of the biggest brands including the largest chain of optometry and ophthalmology clinics, EyeCare Partners. “We record videos with influencers and celebrities, and now with Gan.ai, when they call out your name and tell you to take a personalized call-to-action the results are astounding. We saw a 5x increase in our Video Completion Rate, 3x increase in open rates, and 1.5x increase in our Click-Through-Rate," said user Tejnoor Grover at gaming platform Mobile Premier League. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2022, Gan.ai was one of the 200 technologies of the future. They have also been inducted into Stanford University’s prestigious StartX cohort in 2023. About Gan.ai Gan.ai is on a mission to democratize personalized video creation by allowing brands to customize videos for their customers using AI. Gan.ai helps organizations enhance the video creation process and reach out to their audience effectively by making personalized landing pages for customers and delivering customized videos via preferred communication platforms. It empowers organizations to generate a higher return on investment (ROI) for campaigns. For more information on Gan.ai, visit https://gan.ai/ or follow the team on LinkedIn.

The Humane Society of the United States Addresses the Pet Poverty Crisis

YourUpdateTV

Most people are aware of how poverty and structural inequality create challenges and barriers to accessing healthy food, education, jobs, health care and housing and how inflation is only making the crisis worse. Pet resources are no different. Many families are struggling to afford and access veterinary care, food and supplies for their beloved pets. More than 20 million pets live in poverty - three times as many pets live in poverty as enter shelters every year. This is a long overlooked national crisis exacerbated by inflation and the economy. Recently, Kitty Block, President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the launch of the More Than a Pet campaign and how the organization is addressing the crisis. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/GdaZXktSjNI Over the past 20 years, the Humane Society of the United States has helped half a million pets and their families by providing veterinary care and supplies at no cost, keeping families and pets together in over 50 communities across the U.S. Without these services, families are often forced to make choices about sacrificing their own needs, even food and medications for themselves, to prioritize care for their pet. No family should ever have to make that choice. Since 2002, the Humane Society of United States’ Pets for Life and Rural Area Veterinary Services programs have been helping pet owners across the U.S. by providing food, supplies and services for their cats and dogs at no cost. It is critical to close the gap that exists for people and pets in underserved areas. With the new campaign called “More Than a Pet,” the HSUS is sounding an alarm about this crisis that is only getting worse. The Humane Society of the United States is offering these tips for people to support their communities: Advocate for keeping pets and their people together by signing the HSUS petition to close the pet equity gap. Your voice can make a big impact for all animals. Volunteer with the Humane Society of the United States’ Pets for Life and Rural Area Veterinary Services programs, which increase access to pet care for underserved communities. Donate pet food to your local shelter or pet food pantry. If you know of a neighbor in need, offer to help drive them to a veterinary appointment, foster their pet temporarily or provide a bag of their pet’s favorite food to help close the access to pet care gap. The HSUS is inviting the public to show their support for this campaign by sharing why their animal companion is #MoreThanAPet to them, at humanesociety.org/morethanapet. Campaign partner Smalls is donating a bowl of food for every photo shared, up to $1M, to pets and their families in need. Learn More and Get Involved About Kitty Block Kitty Block is the chief executive officer and president of the Humane Society of the United States and also chief executive officer of Humane Society International. She leads the nation's most effective animal protection organization in the fight for all animals. Block was named president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States in January 2019, becoming the first woman to hold the position in the organization’s history. Block first joined the HSUS as a legal investigator in 1992 and was instrumental in bringing cruelties such as horse slaughter and the killing of dogs and cats for their fur in China to light. She led the HSUS’s efforts to secure protections for dolphins with successful litigation and landmark dolphin-safe tuna legislation. In addition, she was one of the architects of a successful lawsuit over commercial whaling brought against Japan by Australia in the International Court of Justice. She has served as an adviser to the White House on trade and the environment, and she has served multiple elected terms on the International Dolphin Conservation Agreement International Review Panel, which works with governments on monitoring violations of the agreement. Block received a law degree from The George Washington University in 1990 and a bachelor’s degree in communications and philosophy from the University of New Hampshire in 1986. She is a lifelong animal lover who helped her mother rescue and care for pets and other animals in need as a child.

Shareholder to Address Censorship Policies at Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta

National Legal & Policy Center

Following the exposure by the “Twitter Files” reports that revealed the extent to which malicious government agencies colluded with Big Tech to censor content, a shareholder in three Silicon Valley corporations will present proposals in the coming weeks to address their suppression of speech. National Legal and Policy Center – which owns stock in Amazon, Alphabet (parent of Google and YouTube) and Meta (parent of Facebook) – will sponsor proposals at each company that request transparency about requests they have received from U.S. government officials to “take down” content from their platforms. Amazon’s annual meeting is on Wednesday, May 24; Meta’s is on May 31, and Alphabet’s is on June 2. “As we’ve learned since Elon Musk took over Twitter, there is an epidemic of unconstitutional government censorship of speech in our country, and Big Tech has welcomed the opportunities to be their enforcers,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project, who will present the proposals at the companies’ respective meetings. “It is vital, as public companies, that Alphabet, Amazon and Meta act in the country’s interest and disclose who in the federal government is making these improper – and most of them probably illegal – requests, and divulge what they have asked to be removed from their platforms.” The Amazon and Meta proposals seek an itemization of the requests the companies have received from federal government. The Alphabet proposal asks for a report about the extent its censorship policies and practices have on the fiduciary health of the company. The text of NLPC’s proposal for a “Risk Audit on Content Censorship” for Alphabet’s 2023 annual meeting follows: RESOLVED: Shareholders request that Alphabet Inc. (“Company”) issue a report at reasonable cost – omitting proprietary or legally privileged information – reviewing the vulnerabilities of its enforcement of Google’s and YouTube’s Terms of Service related to content policies, and assessing the risks posed by content management controversies related to issues such as election interference, freedom of expression, and inequitable application of policies, and how they affect the Company’s finances, operations, and reputation. SUPPORTING STATEMENT: Evidence has accumulated over many years that show Alphabet Inc.’s platforms discriminate against disfavored speech, interfered in elections, and is undeniably prejudiced. Major examples include: In leaked Company emails, employees discussed using “ephemeral experiences” to change users’ views. Back in 2016, the Company’s chief financial officer said, “we will use the great strength and resources and reach we have” to advance Google’s values. Consequentially, senior research psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein found that – based on 1.5 million search experiences his team aggregated in 2020 – that the Company’s manipulations could have shifted up to six million votes to Joe Biden. A study of voter outreach by 2020 political candidates, conducted by North Carolina State University’s Department of Computer Science, found that Google’s Gmail “marked 59.3% more emails from [conservative] candidates as spam compared to the [progressive] candidates.” The Republican National Committee claimed that Gmail sent more than 22 million of its emails to spam during a critical fundraising period in the 2022 election cycle. The Company has incurred a lawsuit and a complaint to the Federal Elections Commission due to the alleged suppression. A Media Research Center analysis of the most tightly contested 2022 U.S. Senate races found that ten of 12 Republican candidates’ campaign websites (83%) appeared far lower (or did not appear at all) on page one of Google’s organic search results, compared to their Senate Democratic Party opponents’ campaign websites. In addition to the above examples, the Company is the target of a credible, major lawsuit by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, based on extensive evidence that the Company violated users’ First Amendment rights. Shareholders need to know whether the Company is engaged in unconstitutional censorship, and whether the Company exercises its content moderation in violation of its Terms of Service, opening the Company to liability claims by victims. Shareholders also need to know whether the Company is failing to disclose these potential liabilities as material risks in its public filings. There is currently no single source providing shareholders the information sought by this resolution.

FiscalNote’s (NYSE: NOTE) Oxford Analytica Daily Brief: Your Risk Mitigation Passport To The World

Benzinga

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga The beginning of the “Information Age” in the mid-20th century elevated data’s economic, social and political significance even further. Today, data has become arguably far more valuable than traditional commodities like cattle, metals and land. At no other time in history has information been so plentiful, accessible and important. In the case of large private and public organizations, data plays a central role. Using data, Amazon created a program responsible for 35% of the company’s sales in 2017. Structured data and information allow hedge funds to find statistical edges in the financial markets and keep governments alert to economic and political threats. There’s no debating the importance of information. An often cited issue, however, is finding a way to collect, structure and analyze data in efficient ways. Quality data delivered concisely and intelligently is the “sweet spot” for stakeholders in the private and public sectors. Thankfully, some forward-thinking entrepreneurs have come up with a potential iteration of this ideal data solution.
