BOHH Labs wins the challenge

Yeah, it's won the challenge. Congratulations to everyone at BOHH Labs! 'What challenge is this, boss? The Pepsi challenge?' Er, no, I don't think so, Voice. Let me have a look here. It's actually a PR email from my mate Beau "Shandy" Bass. 'Christ! I'd be very surprised, boss, if he were promoting a rival drink.' Listen, give me a chance. I'm reading the email. I don't even know what challenge it is yet ... ah! -

BOHH Labs, the recently launched start-up focusing on security for the Fintech market, is a winner of the prestigious SAP+Google Cloud Intelligent App Challenge. The company will be receiving the Award at the annual SAP TechEd event in Las Vegas, 24th-29th September 2017.

Right. Las Vegas again. I see. Never mind.

The Challenge recognizes emerging solutions based on some of today's most innovative technologies including the use of SAP HANA Express Edition, Google Cloud Platform, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and encryption. In addressing the security of data transport and access for Cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) and streamlining workflows to increase business productivity, BOHH Labs secure app solution won the SAP+Google Cloud Intelligent App Challenge out of hundreds of entries.

Okay, okay. It's fintech again. I'm sure I asked for rainbows and human feelings ... 'You did, boss, but it's all technology these days.' What a world!

BOHH Labs will highlight its winning solution at the SAP TechEd event, which brings together thousands of attendees and hundreds of sessions with SAP experts on best practices, how-to tips, and advice on how to optimize infrastructure and gain insights into new technologies driving the disruptive and agile business models of the future - including artificial intelligence, blockchain, machine learning, and IoT.

Well, I have no idea at all ... 'Ha! Let's hear from Simon Bain.' What?! Who on earth is Simon Bain, man?! 'He's the CEO of BOHH Labs.' Oh, okay.

Simon Bain, CEO, BOHH Labs, stated: "This is a hugely prestigious award for BOHH Labs to win and it firmly cements us in the minds of the SAP and Google Cloud communities. As part of our submission for the SAP+Google Cloud Intelligent App Challenge, we demonstrated how our app leverages the unique capabilities of SAP HANA Express Edition and Google Cloud Platform to mobilize data and enables users to search securely across multiple databases and repositories using voice and text commands to find information quickly in real-time."

Okay, okay. [They're not firmly cemented in my mind, I have to say.] I'm sure it's all really interesting, but I've got a guitar to play.

...

Yes, it's the end of another week. Thank God, eh? Laters.

BNPP AM Euro CLO 2017 B.V.

What is it? Ha! It's been closed. I can tell you that, dear reader(s). 'What else can you tell us, boss?' Nothing much, Voice.

Well, I can tell everyone that 361 euros have been raised for it. 'That's not a lot.' No, hang on ... 361 million euros. 'That's better. But what the fuck is it?!' Ha!

That would be telling. 'Tell us!'

Man, there will be readers who know, and there will be readers who don't have a clue. That's good enough for me. I'll take those odds. 'What odds?!' Listen, son, it doesn't matter. I could tell everyone everything and it wouldn't matter, you dig?

Just be cool, be chilled ... like me. / I'm listening to Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. A great album. Eleven songs. Roughly thirty-five minutes. 'Nice.' It's very nice.

It's the company's fourth new generation CLO, apparently. 'Is it?' Yes, it is. And I have no complaints. 'Why should you complain, boss?' I shouldn't. They live in their world, and I live in my world. I'm just taking it easy, listening to some music. I'll play my guitar later. I'm going to do some recording at the weekend, probably.

Vanessa Ritter is in charge. I have full confidence in her. I know she's going to do a great job. 'How do you know?' All right. I imagine she's going to do a great job. Are you happy with that? 'Boss, you have one of the best imaginations in the business. I'm more than happy.' Thanks, Voice.

I love the atmosphere of Wake Up Alone.

I've been doing some fingerpicking lately. I'm getting quite good at it. I don't actually need it for my type of music, but I get bored playing the same shit all the time. It might come in useful one day.

Well, I wish them all the best, anyway. 'Who?!' Those people. 'What people?!' Vanessa and her gang. 'Oh, right.' Yeah. 'I thought you were talking about the fingerpicking people.' What fingerpicking people?! 'I don't know.' Ha! You're nuts, you are!

Okay. I'm listening to Love Me now. A rough take of my new pop song. [Oh, this is my last music update, by the way.] It'll be in fourth place on my demo, after the two big ballads and Lucky You. Then, I'm afraid, dear reader(s) ... I'll have to become a rock and roll star, for my sins. 'No choice, Mikey.' It's my destiny, man.

Laters.

We don't want customs misery

We certainly don't!

Right. I haven't got a lot of PR emails, and I can't be bothered to go looking for news on a rainy Monday morning in winter, so ... it's Jinksy again! 'Oh, good! I like him, boss.' Okay, Voice. Whatever.

The Prime Minister's Florence speech offers a two-year deal with the EU that's the bare minimum needed for UK exporters, says international shipping expert ParcelHero. In today's [Uh, last week's] high-profile speech to European Union (EU) leaders in Florence, Prime Minister [prime minister] Theresa May proposed a transition deal  of 'around two years' that offers UK exporters a vital lifeline, says the international parcel broker ParcelHero.

While the speech avoided specifics, political commentators say a final agreement could mean offering up to £18bn in exchange for continued membership of the single market for two years. ParcelHero's Head of Consumer Research, David Jinks MILT says: "The PM's speech was intended to unblock clogged negotiations and shows a glimmer of light for British exporters and everyone who ships items to the EU."

But, but, but ... I'm sure our David cautions something. I mean, I would, considering what a bloody mess this Brexit INSANITY is. 'Look, boss -'

David cautions: "To be frank, two years is the bare minimum needed by UK exporters and importers to get their plans and systems in place in the face of increased costs and red tape. Many British exporters would prefer a more rolling approach that puts practical solutions ahead of any ideology."

No, no. What we would prefer, son, is no Brexit at all, because it's ... INSANE, you dig? Absolutely bloody - 'Okay, boss. But he's not finished yet. He says, and he adds.' Okay, okay, uh ... let's see what he adds then.

Adds David: "Theresa May told EU leaders that she wants the final result of Brexit to be remembered 'not for the challenges we endured but for the creativity we used to overcome them; not for a relationship that ended but a new partnership that began.' British businesses have had precious little guidance on how that 'partnership' with our EU neighbours might continue until now; but the prospect of a two-year extension at least gives time for creative new business plans to be put in place."

Ha! Well, she's just putting off the disaster of Brexit because she knows she'll be out of a job soon, and then it'll be someone else's problem.

"The Prime Minister said 'There is no need to impose tariffs,' in her speech; but there's no guarantee the EU will agree. The figure of £11bn in new tariffs we predicted before the referendum still holds good - together with a rise of up to 30% on some imported items as we face new Customs clearance charges, increased transport costs, expensive customs delays and a VAT quagmire just waiting to suck in anyone who trades with the EU."

Well, I'm not paying another 30 per cent for my guitar strings!!!! Those Elixirs already cost £17! [Elixir 80/20 bronze acoustic guitar strings, light, with nanoweb ultra thin coating, with anti-rust plain steels.] 'Boss, boss, let Jinksy explain ...'

David explains: "No deal or a firmish Brexit will mean tariffs on British goods at EU borders and EU goods at UK borders; so a deal has to be struck. The average EU tariff for non-EU imports (and that means Britain post Brexit) is 2.3% and the tariff on British cars would be a whopping 10%, for example. But Britain's exporters can't just abandon the EU market as the tariff on UK cars in India (a fast-growing new market) would be up to 125% if the UK ceases to be part of a special EU-India tariff deal. Ouch!"

Ouch! Bloody hell! What a nightmare! And he didn't say anything about the strings ... 'Boss, let him conclude.' No! I don't want to hear anything else about Brexit. I'm sick of it!

Right. Anything else? [Not about Brexit.] Music? My music? I don't do updates no more, dear reader(s). 'Just do one last one, Mikey. What harm can it do?' All right, man. Yes, I have ten complete songs now. Enough for an album. 'Nice.'

Cazana founder has got secrets

And he's going to share them with people in America. 'Ha! They won't be secrets for long, boss.' Why not, Voice? 'Those Americans will tell everyone.' Yeah, maybe.

British business is set to impress when six, fast-growth UK companies head to San Francisco as part of a programme to promote UK big data and insurtech capability to American investors. Cazana, the largest car search and indexing engine for used car sales in the UK, is one of the businesses attending the high-profile event with founder and CEO, Tom Wood, scheduled to meet with corporate investors and venture capital funds.

Oh, Christ! 'What?' No, there's nothing wrong, really. I just - 'You didn't want technology again, did you?' I asked for rainbows, man. I asked for decent human feelings, and rainbows. And they give me ... technology. 'But you don't even like rainbows, Mikey!' Listen, son, I can hardly ask them for conceptual shit, can I? They probably don't even know what that is. So I ask these PR people for rainbows, and decent human feelings ... and I get technology again! / Never mind. Let's do this -

The mission, which takes place from 26th to 28th September 2017, will feature significant pitching and networking opportunities to generate further interest from US investors in the sector-leading work which is taking place in the UK. As a current recipient of US financial backing, Cazana is well-placed to show how businesses operating across the Atlantic can benefit from a collaborative approach to technology investment.

Technology investment. You see, dear reader(s)? That's all they know. / I suppose I better let Tom Wood say a word or two ...

Cazana's CEO, Tom Wood, commented: "It is a privilege to be chosen as one of just a handful of companies to represent the UK in this important trade mission. We're looking forward to showing how Cazana's big data and machine learning can help US insurers and companies working with vehicles to reduce their risk by better understanding the history of those vehicles. Cazana's global vehicle database has been proven to reduce the risk of insurance fraud in the UK market, and we're excited to show US insurers how this data can help them write motor insurance more cost effectively."

Okay, okay. I don't know what the big secrets are, but ... the Americans will find out. 'It's the big data thing, boss.' Whatever.

Following on from the mission to San Francisco, Cazana's founder and CEO, Tom Wood, will demonstrate Cazana's technology at the world's largest insurtech event, InsureTech Connect, which takes place in Las Vegas on 3rd and 4th October 2017. Wood will demonstrate how Cazana's big data helps motor insurers to reduce fraud and improve their loss ratio by understanding the condition and history of the vehicles they cover.

Oh, right. Then he's going to Las Vegas. Not to have a good time, like, but just for business. 'Ha!' Sure. We believe that, don't we, dear reader(s)? I wasn't born yesterday, Tom. FFS!

Well, enjoy yourself, yeah?

ENDS

Yes, ENDS. / And, well ... it's nearly the ends of the week. I've got one more post to do later, a conceptual, No. 547. Laters.

The Q-Bot robots are taking over!

Run! Run! [If you're in the insulation business.] Run! 'What's all this, boss?' Run, Voice! Save yourself! The insulation robots are coming! 'But I'm not in the insulation business.' Oh ... okay. Never mind. Panic over, everyone.

London, United Kingdom - Q-Bot, the UK's leading developer of robots for use in the construction industry, has closed an investment round of £450,000 supported by ClearlySo, Minerva Investors Group, Curious Capital, London Business Angels and Chicago Booth Angels. The investment is leveraged with £1,050,000 funding from the EU Commission's Horizon 2020 program, to bring the total funding up to £1.5m. The new funds will allow Q-Bot to rollout the world's first affordable and truly scalable solution for under floor insulation.

You see, dear reader(s)? There's probably nothing to worry about. Oh, do you work in the insulation business? No? Then why are you crying? Get a grip, FFS! 'These people ...' / Let's see what our Hayley at ClearlySo has got to say ...

Hayley Collen, Investment Director at ClearlySo: "This is an exciting time for Q-Bot as it looks to scale up in the UK and launch in new markets. ClearlySo is proud to have helped them raise capital at each step of their journey to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel poverty for customers in the UK and beyond."

Oh, I see. She's not worried about the poor bastards who work in the insulation business. 'Maybe one day, boss, the robots will come for her job.' Ha! They're coming for everyone's job, son. However, they can't write songs for shit at the moment, and I doubt they ever will be able to. So I'll be okay. / Anyway ...

With an estimated 10 million homes needing under floor insulation in the UK alone and with markets in Northern Europe and the US, there is a huge need to develop more scalable approaches for the retrofit of insulation. Q-Bot has developed a highly innovative, robotic device that can deploy through a small opening, survey and map the space, apply insulation in situ and then validate the job done. This unique approach transforms inefficient, cold and draughty properties into warm and cosy homes at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional methods. It also minimizes disruption for the occupants and can reduce energy bills by as much as 1/4, saving hundreds of pounds. This has resulted in Q-Bot acquiring significant clients in the social housing sector, including Camden Council, Cardiff City Council, CityWest Homes, Islington Council and Peabody.

Okay, okay. It sounds amazing and everything, I suppose. 'As long as they don't start blowing people away with a shotgun, boss.' Who?! 'The robots.' And why on earth would they do that? 'I don't know.' They're not going to have many customers left if they do that, are they, idiot?! 'But you see it in the movies.' Christ! Forget the movies! FFS! / Okay, let's finish with a quote from Mathew ...

Mathew Holloway, CEO & Co-Founder of Q-Bot: "The support of our investors combined with co-funding from the EU Commission’s H2020 program, has enabled Q-Bot to secure the accreditation critical to our customers and partners including a BBA Agrement Certificate and CE Mark. Q-Bot is now poised to roll out the service across the UK and capitalize on successful trials in France and the US. This new investment will allow Q-Bot to accelerate growth and put in place the infrastructure required to deliver the service across the millions of homes that need it. Q-Bot has already created dozens of jobs and insulated hundreds of homes, but our goal is to have an impact on a global scale, by transforming the construction industry with smarter solutions."

Created dozens of jobs? Well, well ... okay. I mean, I don't know, but ... 'Don't worry about it, Mikey. Just play your guitar.' Yeah, well, I'll be finishing a great lyric today. / It's your move, robots.

Longford Capital gets $500 million for its second fund!

Well, that's not too bad, $500 million. 'How much did they want, boss?' Er ... $500 million. 'Oh, so you're telling me and the readers that they wanted $500 million, so they went out and raised the money, and then ended up with $500 million?' That's exactly what I'm telling you, Voice. 'But what about all these stories we cover where a firm wants, I don't know, say $600 million, and then they get $850 million, and everyone is over the moon because they got more than they wanted? What about those stories, boss?' This isn't one of those stories, man. 'Oh.' They wanted to raise $500 million, and they got it. What's your problem?

Okay, okay. This Longford Capital is based in Chicago and it invests in commercial litigation. The new fund is called, rather imaginatively, Longford Capital Fund II. And this is from their website -

Longford Capital is a private investment company that invests in commercial litigation believed to be high value and meritorious. We provide capital to (i) companies to pay attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in litigation and (ii) invest in portfolios of cases managed by leading law firms. If the litigation is successful, Longford Capital is paid back its investment plus an agreed upon return. If the litigation is unsuccessful, the client owes us nothing.

We manage a diversified portfolio of legal claims, and consider investments in business-to-business contract claims and other commercial claims, antitrust and trade regulation claims, intellectual property claims (including patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret), fiduciary duty claims, fraud claims, domestic and international arbitration, claims in bankruptcy and liquidation and a variety of others.

You see, dear reader(s)? And now they've got $500 million to play with. 'It could have been so much more.' Will you give it a rest, Voice?! 'Well, is there something wrong with $700 million?' Christ! There's nothing wrong with $700 million, but they don't need that much. Just let them run their business the way they want to. It's got nothing to do with you, you little idiot!

I must apologize to anyone here from Longford Capital. He's my intern on this blog. But I can't really get the staff. And he's just a disembodied voice, anyway, from the astral plane, like. 'Ha!' What? 'You make it sound like it's a bad thing.' Just shut up! Please.

...

Anything else? Well ... the national debt? Why has it doubled in seven years? I'm just wondering ... / I don't want to go too far into the subject, dear reader(s), because it's bloody boring. 'Go on then.' Well, that's it. 'Oh, okay.' I'm just wondering why it has doubled in the last seven years, that's all. And where has the money gone? It's not as if we've seen any improvements in society. Actually, things have been getting worse.

Never mind. / Music? This is my last music update. Seriously. There's no need to discuss it any more. I'm hoping to finish my tenth song this week, which would give me an album of forty and a half minutes. (It would be nice to have an eleventh song though.) / The two weakest songs on that album would be It's Just a Joke, Man and She Loves Me from the last demo. And they're not too weak compared to a lot that gets written these days, so I'm happy. 'Yippee!' Yeah. Yippee!

Laters.

Jim Moran ...

Well, well ... / Venture capital guy. Yeah. Jim Moran. He's going to be the executive chairman. Or so our Susie reckons. And she says I can speak to him, if I want to. Well, I don't want to - nothing personal - but I'm writing this post, anyway, ain't I? 'What's all this, boss? I mean, on a sunny Monday morning in summer, like.' Ha! It's winter, Voice. Get used to it! / Right, this -

Perfecto, the leading continuous testing and monitoring platform for optimizing DevOps pipelines, today announced the appointment of Jim Moran as executive chairman of its board of directors. In this newly created, full-time role, Moran will focus on helping the company accelerate its profitable growth in the DevOps and application development and QA markets, and work closely with the Perfecto board and executive team to extend the company's market leadership and navigate its strategic growth options.

Christ! It's technology again. / Hey, PR people, haven't you got any human stuff you can send me? You know, about people with sensitive feelings who are staring at a fucking rainbow or something? Not that I've got much time for rainbows, but I'm just saying, man. 'Ha! Give it up, boss. It's the way the world is going now.' Oh. Well, stop the world, son. I want to get off! / A bit more on Jimmy -

Moran brings a wealth of experience with technology startups across a variety of markets including enterprise SaaS and cloud, open source, payments, mobile commerce, and communications & infrastructure. Most recently, he was managing director at North Bridge Venture & Growth Equity Partners investing in and advising both early-stage and growth-oriented companies including mobile wallet provider Paydiant (acquired by PayPal), and endpoint security solution Confer Technologies (acquired by Carbon Black).

As long as he's happy, I suppose. You can't change people. God knows I've tried ... / Okay. Uh, Liron Gitig said something. 'Did he?' Yes. 'Who is he?' I don't know.

"The race to deliver a best-in-class digital experience has never been more fierce," said Liron Gitig, Perfecto board member and partner at investor FTV Capital. "Perfecto's acceleration of cycle time and faster delivery of digital services make its solutions mission-critical for software development organizations. Jim's expertise and leadership make him the right executive to help us capitalize on this massive market opportunity."

Oh, okay. He's, uh ... a partner at FTV Capital. 'What about Eran Yaniv, boss?' Who?! 'Eran Yaniv.' Oh, you mean ... the chief executive of Perfecto, him?

"Jim brings tremendous strategic insight and operational experience to Perfecto at a time when we are seeing strong, profitable growth in a market with unlimited opportunity," said Eran Yaniv, CEO of Perfecto. "He knows what it takes to disrupt and scale to win in big markets and is adept at developing winning go-to-market strategies to do that. His track record is exceptional and I am looking forward to working with him to maximize the tremendous potential we have here."

Well, that's all really nice and everything, but - 'We haven't heard from the great man himself!' Well, hang on, Voice -

"Perfecto has an enormous opportunity ahead and is extremely well positioned to CAPITALIZE now," said Moran. "As enterprises execute on their digital strategies, their software development and QA organizations must accelerate their level of innovation and time-to-market to engage with their users in new ways using web, mobile and IoT. Perfecto is in a market-leading position to support these efforts by optimizing their software delivery pipelines and assuring flawless digital user experiences."

Okay, okay. Thanks, Jimmy. [I just wonder where they get all their enthusiasm from, dear reader(s)]. / Right ... 'Ends?' No, just this -

---/---

You see? 'Er ... well, what's that?' Ask Susie. It's her way of doing the Ends thing, obviously. 'Yeah?' Jesus! I don't know how these people's minds work. Ask Susie!

...

Anything else? Music? This is my last music update. There will be two ballads and two "pop" songs on my new demo. 'What happened to the third ballad, Mikey?' It's too much, all three together, Voice.

What else? I'll be doing a conceptual later, No. 546. Laters.

[No. 545] Going, going ...

But still here. [Right. A warning. This conceptual is a bit messed up. A couple of phrases in the wrong place, and I have no idea how to fix it. So ... the thing is, I think it's only the second one out of 545 that I've got wrong. Not a bad record, really. I must have lost my concentration or something. I just don't know what happened. I could fix it, but I don't have the time or energy. Also, maybe it's a good thing, you dig? I'm sure Duchamp would approve. I think this sort of thing happened to him occasionally, and he just lived with it. Also, a lot of my early ones were a mess on purpose. Well, not on purpose. I just wasn't sure what I was doing. It really doesn't matter.]
