In 2014, was founded as a professional manufacturer for the mapping and surveying industries. Wingtra drone Its drone technology integrates the benefits of fixed-wing flight with the convenience of vertically controlled landings and takeoffs. Justina Kostinaite, the drone maker's head of marketing, spoke with Benzinga about Wingtra's VTOL — vertical take-off and landing — project. The Technology The VTOL drone “lands and takes off vertically as a multirotor and flies in the air as a fixed-wing aircraft, which is really efficient," Kostinaite said. As a result of the unique design, the drone can carry a heavier payload, allowing for the use of best-in-class cameras, she said. Operators can “generate maps and 3D models with 1 cm accuracy, which, in the surveying world, means if you map eight football fields, you can ... calculate the exact coordinates of a [fallen] coin down to 1 centimeter.” Wingtra counts 3DR and among its partners; the companies assist in gathering and processing aerial data. Sony Corp SNE 0.46% Who's It For? Wingtra places an emphasis on worksite planning. "Our main audience is actually the surveying, mining and construction industries,” Kostinaite said. In one example of a use case, the Idaho Forest Group, a lumber producer, leverages VTOL drone technology to “map hundreds of acres of forest and stockpiles of wood” for six northwestern mills, the spokeswoman said. Regulations And Worker Safety “Regulations, all around the world, are super hectic now,” Kostinaite said. They represent a bottleneck for the drone business, she said. "India is currently a country we cannot enter, [as well as] Brazil." The countries are huge untapped markets, Kostinaite said. Wingtra does not face the same privacy regulation issues as the consumer drone market, as the drones are flown in more secluded areas, she said. Kostinaite said she views the company's technology as a safety asset. "Let's say you have the biggest mine of uranium in Africa and you have to survey this mine, which takes three people two weeks," she said. "You can slide, you can fall and then at the end you can measure wrong.” With a Wingtra drone, worker safety can be maintained while gathering data faster, she said. Going Forward The industry is an exciting one, Kostinaite said. "If you’re not afraid and you kind of lose the skepticism about tech and drones, it just makes everything move further, makes people's work easier, makes it more efficient, and safer.” Wingtra is working on improving the VTOL drone technology, and it will perform work that makes jobs dangerous, she said. "We are at the forefront of a revolution." This was originally published on Benzinga.com .

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, though often used in conjunction, are not interchangeable entities. In fact, cryptocurrency could not exist without blockchain technology. Blockchain is, in simple terms, a public record of transactions. Though the exact individuals that comprise the transactions are encrypted, the public availability of the transaction makes it impossible to fake or alter the outcome, unlike, let’s say if you were trading stocks or . This secure, public ledger allows cryptocurrency to thrive because, though “online money” is not physically held, it cannot be faked or altered due to this system of checks. futures trading As we become more familiar with the idea of blockchain, its numerous applications outside crypto start making their way into the mainstream perspective. For example, with Facebook in and out of the news for security breaches, deceptively selling information, and other ethics violations, could a mandatory, full-disclose record better our chances of online safety and privacy? How would the protection of private information change? Whether you have your personal information stored behind a username and password for social media or an online store, it is still susceptible to security breaches and theft. But it’s necessary for online stores to have my information so that I can make purchases, right? Well, with the implementation of blockchain, your information won’t be exposed for public consumption because it’s not publically stored online. Methods of verification would be encrypted, such as the individuals involved in the purchase of crypto through the use of blockchain. Not only will you be able to verify personal information for when you make purchases or need to confirm your age, but none of that information will be stored online for someone else to retrieve later. Because the record of that transaction is decentralized and publically available, online sources will not need to keep your information on file. This technology will act as the middleman that oversees deals today, giving you full autonomy of your purchases and peace of mind that they’re just. Third party vendors pay top dollar for the big data companies collect about their customers. They are looking for patterns people display, such as what they’re buying, when they’re buying it, and how much they’re buying. They also can learn where you’re buying it from, how often you’re going there, and for how long you’ve been at that location. In terms of your consumer and online habits, this is only the beginning of what companies know about you, store, and sell to others for gain. Blockchain will give you ownership of your data, and provide you the opportunity to sell it to these third parties if you choose. Instead of other companies profiting off information you haven’t consented to them giving out, you can profit off revealing the habits you’re comfortable sharing. The process in which companies store and share this information, including the extent to which they’re doing it, is a very poorly publicised metric. Blockchain would make the process transparent by giving you control of your information. Also, without social media having these statistics on you, the days of targeted ads could be behind us. A step in the right direction Blockchain integration into social media is not only a step in the right direction for security, but an exciting time for rewarding contribution and involvement with these social medias. Seemit, Sapien and Indorse are only a few of the blockchain social technologies that are benefitting from their decentralized nature, protecting information of their users, while providing them with purpose when interacting with the platform. These technologies pride themselves on rewarding truthful information, reward users for participating in valuing the truth, and are working to change the scope of sensitive online information.

Benzinga Kick Off Flagship Conferences Recognizing and Fueling Innovation In Finance

Every time I share the latest PR insights, I end up hearing the same feedback over and over again: “Well, now it’s clear. All you need is money.” I don’t know how those keen minds came to such a twisted conclusion, but to me, it’s obvious that there’s always an option to start small. In this post, I’ll share some takeaways for how to gain media coverage and leverage your PR endeavors with no news peg and zero budget. Option 1: Media Coverage Through Op-Ed, Guest Posting, or Columns Media are very fond of experts who tackle industry issues through the lens of their experience and provide editors with fresh and insightful material that would catch a reader’s eye and drive traffic to their website. So, gaining media coverage through op-eds and guest posts is the easiest way to start. Why? Because through the personal expertise of your C-level representative, you will manage to tackle industry issues that somehow relate to your product. How? Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Decide on a spokesperson and map the topics for them. In one circle, the list of the topics that would resonate with the industry that you are working in. In the second circle, note down the vectors in which your speaker has expertise. Then check where those circles overlap, and choose 3-4 major areas to cover. Those ideas should both demonstrate your speaker’s valuable experience and tackle the industry issues for which you already have a solution at hand. Generate a bunch of topics, headlines, and detailed outlines for each. Step 2: Create your media list with relevant contacts. Check which media are covering this or that topic, make a list of such media, find opinions editor’s email, and send them a proposal for approval(consisting of the headline and a detailed outline). Some media like Daily Hodl or HackerNoon have a submission form, but in this case, you have to submit the whole article for review, not just the outline. I would also recommend doing small research to see whether this particular angle hasn’t been covered yet. Step 3: Wait for a response. Great things take time. Don’t share the same content with all the outlets simultaneously. You may end up gaining coverage across multiple outlets and thereby ruin your relations with journalists. Instead, wait for approval from the editorial team (they indicate in the requirements how much time they usually need to review your submission). If there’s no answer within a specified timeframe, then share your idea with others. Pros of leveraging your media relations through guest posts and op-eds: Your brand name and maybe the link to the website will appear in the author’s bio. You will be able to insert some information about your product. If it’s relevant and doesn’t look like a promotion, you can use your product and company’s data to back your stance. You establish thought leadership and build a strong personal brand for your speaker. If you are a no-name startup with a no-name CEO, building a personal brand is crucial to make people trust you and in you. No wonder smaller companies are ready to pay a fortune to hunt C-level executives with sound names and spotless reputations.
Because by accepting a job offer, this person confirms their trust in the company, making it more credible in the eyes of the industry by default. Option 2: Media Coverage Through Commentaries Nobody accepts commentaries from people with no prior trace left in the media. So, you better start with the opinion part and gradually add commenting atop this. Crypto is a very wavering environment with a lot of stuff going on. Keep track of everything happening in the industry. Start your morning by checking Feedly and Google News to never miss a beat. There are several ways how you can ensure media coverage through expert commentaries: As soon as you have secured 5-6 pieces of coverage for your speaker, you can create a press portrait, indicating the speaker’s expertise, topics of interest, background information, and the links to op-eds you’ve already published in media. Once something happens in the industry that is relevant to your company and/or speaker, write a comment and pitch it to a journalist whose beat you know for sure will most likely imply working on this particular story. You can also check #journorequest on Twitter, Quoted, or HARO, as well as check the journalists’ personal Twitter account for similar shoutouts. If you have a ready-to-use press list and a well-established connection with journalists, you can send them a press portrait and introduce your speaker without waiting for the right time. In this case, a journalist may occasionally contact you once they need expert commentary. Option 3: Media Coverage Through Newswire I used to be quite skeptical about the Newswire until one day I shot it and checked the results: 406 pieces of coverage secured across top-tier media outlets, including Business Insider, Seeking Alpha, Benzinga, and others. I made it SEO-wise and inserted the links to the website along with a bunch of anchors and keywords that reinforced our SEO endeavours. Moreover, the journalist who spotted our press release reached out for additional information and wrote his own story based on what we had shared with him. Press release services like PR newswire or crypto-specific Chainwire offer a great deal of features to align your PR efforts with SEO requirements, thereby killing two birds with one shot. Don’t expect a newswire service to bring you a great deal of awareness right away, but rather think out of the box, and see how else can you benefit from distribution and what exactly can you share that would pay off in a long run. A small tip to keep in mind: Don’t rush to the newswire as soon as you have a news peg. Try to pitch it to journalists first; either as an exclusive or under embargo, and only then upload your press release into the newswire system to ensure maximum coverage. Final Words Each option I’ve mentioned above leaves a trace in the media, ensuring greater visibility for your company and products. Forbes isn’t going to cover your news unless you do have the news that is worth being covered on Forbes, and no PR wizard can fix it. Strive for the best you can, but don’t underestimate small achievements and the power of smaller steps that you are making on the way to your goal.

Media Coverage Options for a Startup With No News Pegs and Zero Budget 

A few years ago, if you wanted to understand memecoin communities, you had to join their individual Telegram groups. In 2024, they went “mainstream” on X, formerly Twitter, developing their own communities and creating memecoin crossover communities on one of the largest social media platforms. Why have they gravitated to X? If you check the size of the audience, the answer is clear. On March 18, X posted a series of tweets to illuminate the number of people using the popular social media platform. According to their tweet, “250 million people use X everyday. 550 million people visit the global town square every month.” When memecoins want to speak directly to their audience, or “degens” at large, they obviously post memes, but clearly, not everything can be conveyed in a meme. They can post articles, though usually they don’t. Memecoin audiences are immediate – they want to speak directly to their projects. And the platform has an answer for that – memecoins are taking to X Spaces. How to Improve Your Twitter (X) Spaces I am the co-founder of Lambow, the Base meme project for builders and entrepreneurs. I have also hosted hundreds of Spaces shows over the past 3 years – for Benzinga, Gotbit, Lambow, and as guest host for many other crypto and memecoin projects. I have hosted audiences of literally between 8 and 420,000 people. Here is my list, in no particular order, of how to improve your own spaces and what to look for in a well-run show. Have a Clear Theme - There are hundreds of other Spaces shows people can tune into. Make your show’s mission simple and compelling and you will find your audience. Stop the Shill & Chills - I can’t really say these have no place, but I have found that the open-ended nature of these shows makes them drag terribly. If you are going to use this as your format, keep time limits on speakers so you can keep it moving along. Don’t Call it a “Call” – This is a mindset thing. Yes, it happens on the phone and others tune in to talk with you, but the comparison stops there. If you think of your Spaces show like you think of conference calls, you are going to end up with a show that feels like a meeting. Dead Air is the Enemy -. 5 seconds of dead air feels like a lifetime and invites your audience to tune out. If necessary, I will narrate what is happening or switch to a tangential thought about blockchain, but I do not leave my audience hanging by being silent. The Show Must Go On - I have hosted Spaces with food poisoning. I have hosted many Spaces where I was unaware of the guests, topic, or even that the show was happening until right before going on air. If you do your job, no one will ever know. Love your Guests - Excellent relationships with guests is a huge benefit when running a show. For me, the equation is very much like when I was directing theatre – you only succeed if your performers are succeeding. You look good when they look good. Mind Your Traffic Control - Again, very much like managing a stage show, you are there to facilitate other people speaking. I think of the panel as an orchestra of voices – the best shows play all the different notes guests have to share. Stick to Your Time Limit - I plan 1-hour shows and find that to be more or less ideal. Shows almost always run over time. But some of the urgency of the show is lost when you schedule a 4-hour show or a show with no clear end time. Always Be Learning  - As a host, my job is to fill the panel with people who know more than I do. When I am asking the fundamental questions of my guests, I am fulfilling my role as host, to stand in for the audience and find out what they need to know. Know Your Topic - It’s not hard to be prepared – take 30 minutes to read the headlines and make some notes. Remember - you aren’t trying to come to a definitive answer on the topic, you are searching for the fundamental questions. Don’t Play with Trolls - When someone wants to derail the flow of your conversation by drumming up an argument with another guest or about something completely off-topic, mute them or remove them as speaker. It’s your duty to be in charge, and if you don’t, your audience loses out. Audience Size Doesn’t Matter - It’s nice when the big audiences roll in, but you have to put forth the best show possible no matter what. I’ve done shows with over 400,000 people tuning in -- it did not change my life. The biggest shows are not always the most rewarding. Love What You Are Doing - As host, if you aren’t having fun, neither is anyone else. If you can’t find something to love about doing the show, then find someone else to host for you and just produce the show. Stop Trying to be Joe Rogan - I’m fine with your use of cannabis. Some shows are fine with lots of profanity (I find it distracting, so I avoid it.) But if your opening line is, “F-ck, I’m so high” then try finding a new host to imitate. I am a big fan of Larry King and Conan O’Brien, and it does inform the way I ask questions. Be Relentless - When you are doing X spaces, you have no tech support. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. But it isn’t really a problem until you as the host say it is. This is a long-term effort and ultimately your belief in your own show will serve you. For memecoins, there is virtually no such thing as too much communication. If your supporters wanted to never hear from the founders, they could buy Apple or Intel stock. Your community has invested in your meme, your brand, and your founders. Whether through Spaces, YouTube, or a blog, keep talking to your audience. Let them know what you are thinking and allow them to participate – fulfilling the Web3 promise of a two-way exchange between creator and audience. Keep your community close, learn from them, and let them help guide your ever-evolving narrative. Greater devotion to building something real with your audience helping you from the ground up will ultimately help the memespace and give us more projects that are producing real value. A few years ago, if you wanted to understand memecoin communities, you had to join their individual Telegram groups. In 2024, they went “mainstream” on X, formerly Twitter, developing their own communities and creating memecoin crossover communities on one of the largest social media platforms. Why have they gravitated to X? If you check the size of the audience, the answer is clear. On March 18, X posted a series of tweets to illuminate the number of people using the popular social media platform. series of tweets According to their tweet, “250 million people use X everyday. 550 million people visit the global town square every month.” When memecoins want to speak directly to their audience, or “degens” at large, they obviously post memes, but clearly, not everything can be conveyed in a meme. They can post articles, though usually they don’t. Memecoin audiences are immediate – they want to speak directly to their projects. And the platform has an answer for that – memecoins are taking to X Spaces. How to Improve Your Twitter (X) Spaces How to Improve Your Twitter (X) Spaces I am the co-founder of Lambow , the Base meme project for builders and entrepreneurs. I have also hosted hundreds of Spaces shows over the past 3 years – for Benzinga, Gotbit, Lambow, and as guest host for many other crypto and memecoin projects. I have hosted audiences of literally between 8 and 420,000 people. Lambow hundreds of Spaces Here is my list, in no particular order, of how to improve your own spaces and what to look for in a well-run show. Have a Clear Theme - There are hundreds of other Spaces shows people can tune into. Make your show’s mission simple and compelling and you will find your audience.

Have a Clear Theme Stop the Shill & Chills - I can’t really say these have no place, but I have found that the open-ended nature of these shows makes them drag terribly. If you are going to use this as your format, keep time limits on speakers so you can keep it moving along.

If you are going to use this as your format, keep time limits on speakers so you can keep it moving along. Stop the Shill & Chills Don’t Call it a “Call” – This is a mindset thing. Yes, it happens on the phone and others tune in to talk with you, but the comparison stops there. If you think of your Spaces show like you think of conference calls, you are going to end up with a show that feels like a meeting. Don’t Call it a “Call” – This is a mindset thing.

Don’t Call it a “Call” Dead Air is the Enemy -. 5 seconds of dead air feels like a lifetime and invites your audience to tune out. If necessary, I will narrate what is happening or switch to a tangential thought about blockchain, but I do not leave my audience hanging by being silent.

Dead Air is the Enemy The Show Must Go On - I have hosted Spaces with food poisoning. I have hosted many Spaces where I was unaware of the guests, topic, or even that the show was happening until right before going on air. If you do your job, no one will ever know.

The Show Must Go On Love your Guests - Excellent relationships with guests is a huge benefit when running a show. For me, the equation is very much like when I was directing theatre – you only succeed if your performers are succeeding. You look good when they look good.

Love your Guests Mind Your Traffic Control - Again, very much like managing a stage show, you are there to facilitate other people speaking. I think of the panel as an orchestra of voices – the best shows play all the different notes guests have to share.

Mind Your Traffic Control Stick to Your Time Limit - I plan 1-hour shows and find that to be more or less ideal. Shows almost always run over time. But some of the urgency of the show is lost when you schedule a 4-hour show or a show with no clear end time. Stick to Your Time Limit - I plan 1-hour shows and find that to be more or less ideal.
