The billion $ mine is valued at zero at this price.

Some good news in that return issued this morning.

The gravy train of free shares is slowly drying up.

Out of the 3.6M freebies, 3M are done and dusted last year leaving only 600K to go.

Should begin to make a worthwhile difference to our figures this year.

(I'm aware there are other award schemes but let's be positive!)

Equinix Fabric is another important part of the Tremor tech stack. By delivering high-performance network connectivity, Fabric allows Tremor to implement changes in its advertising operations instantaneously, no matter which part of the company's infrastructure requires updating. And while sub-second-long delays may not seem important, they are critical to Tremor's mission of meeting customers' expectations of "extreme response time" when they want to execute or change ad operations.
We need high-end software craftsmanship and engineering
Clearing Privacy Hurdles

Mor feels pretty confident in Tremor's ability to conquer the technical challenges of extremely high-volume streaming data analytics, but he points to a new challenge that the company is currently working to meet: the growing concerns over data privacy within the ad tech space.

Consumers are increasingly worried about ad tech companies abusing their personal data to target them with ads. Regulators in places like the European Union, California and beyond are also now focused on this issue.

In response, Mor says, Tremor has a strong team of data scientists who are working on ways to anonymize data while still leveraging it effectively to serve ads. While it's too early to reveal technical details of how that solution will work, he believes it's critical for ensuring that the ad tech industry can continue to function effectively while also respecting user privacy.

He adds that meeting this and other technical challenges that loom on the ad tech industry's horizon is what keeps the space so exciting. In ad tech, there's always a new problem to solve, and there's always an innovative way to solve it, Mor says, as long as you approach it with an open mind and refuse to settle for solutions that aren't as good as they could be.

Taming the Data Stream

Processing large volumes of data quickly is a challenge that is familiar to many businesses. But few have to analyze as much data as Tremor does or deliver results so quickly.

To tackle this challenge, Mor and his team rely on a unique blend of technologies. Their data streaming and analytics tooling relies on open source libraries, but they've built proprietary algorithms that help address Tremor’s massive scale and speed requirements.

The company's engineers focus extensively on optimization. "We need high-end software craftsmanship and engineering," Mor says, adding that techniques and tools like specialized programming languages, real-time programming, advanced caching and memory-based processing all play a role in delivering the real-time analytics that power Tremor's business.

Crunching so much data also requires a lot of computational muscle, which is why Tremor deploys workloads across several Equinix colocation facilities, collectively hosting thousands of servers. Tremor also operates a handful of private data centers, but it's increasingly moving toward a colocation model, according to Mor.

In addition, Tremor relies on Equinix Metal Infrastructure to accommodate sudden spikes in demand. The ability to add powerful bare metal capacity on demand–a task that would not be cost-effective in the public cloud for Tremor’s use case–plays a central role in ensuring that the platform can remain responsive to its users even as traffic volumes fluctuate.

Initially, though, handling spikes wasn't what drew Tremor to Metal. It was the need to build a backup infrastructure for disaster recovery. They invested in Equinix Metal so that "to get the boxes we need quickly to withstand downtime," Mor says. Once the disaster recovery environment was deployed, Mor’s engineers validated its performance with a simulated failover. It performed so well, the team found itself asking what else they could do on Metal, which led to the decision not to buy hardware to handle seasonal traffic spikes, and instead leverage on-demand capacity from Metal.

EQUINIX DEPLOY

Despite his varied career, Mor says the work he remains most passionate about is ad tech, a field in which "you have to deal with the heavy lifting of the internet on a daily basis."

He would know. He is CTO of Tremor International, an ad tech company that analyzes up to 10 million events per second to help advertisers and publishers connect in the most efficient way possible. Day in and day out, Mor deals with technical challenges on a scale that few engineers ever get the opportunity to confront.

This is a story about how Mor and his team solve those challenges, how the technological innovations he has helped pioneer at Tremor are changing the world of digital advertising and how they will continue to do so as the ad tech industry confronts new challenges like data privacy.
A New Approach to Ad Tech

The ability to process millions of events per second is at the core of Tremor International's business model. By performing real-time analysis of that data, which represents internet traffic from across the world, Tremor identifies relevant audiences for ads "in a fraction of a second," Mor explains. In turn, Tremor can connect audiences with video advertisers who want to reach them via the digital platforms that the audiences use.

To put this in context, he describes a hypothetical situation in which an advertiser wants to reach women between the ages of 25 and 35 who are interested in sports cars. It’s a narrow and specific demographic. Tremor's stream of internet traffic data provides a means of identifying users who fit within the target group, so that advertisers can deliver relevant ads, and publishers can display ads that viewers or readers want to see—all in a way that respects consumer privacy (more on that below).

This is a big deal, Mor says, because the ad tech industry has historically been dominated by companies that try to cater either to advertisers who have ads to serve or to publishers who want to host ads in order to generate revenue. Catering to the interests of both groups at the same time can be challenging, because each one wants to set the agenda and determine where and for how much ads run.

Tremor's platform offers an alternative approach. By running massive analytics pipelines that enable identification of relevant audiences quickly through internet traffic patterns, Tremor’s platform helps advertisers and publishers to reach each other in real time.

"We are unique because we cater to both advertisers and publishers," Mor says. "We believe an end-to-end solution can benefit both parties and drive efficiency."

Anyone in London going to the NSCI Proactive presentation next Thursday 6pm?

The opportunity to work with Eon on the Karbon Homes and other similar projects represents a significant milestone in Q-Bot’s growth. Eon are involved in roughly 20% of all UK Housing Retrofit Projects, and our close collaboration, which has developed through our early Energy Company Obligation (ECO) funding relationship show an exciting trajectory for our innovative underfloor insulation solution. Leigh Fairbrother, Q-Bot Head of Commercial

Q-Bot appointed by energy solutions provider E.ON to install measures to improve the efficiency of Otterburn homes
12 January 2023
Q-Bot has recently been appointed by energy solutions provider E.ON to install its robotic underfloor insulation in 34 properties in Otterburn in the North of England.



The homes are managed by Karbon Homes, which aims to get these properties close to net zero by installing several energy efficiency measures funded through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund wave 1.



Formed in 2017, Karbon Homes is a housing association in the North East of England and Yorkshire, managing almost 30,000 homes. They are focused on delivering good quality homes, excellent service to their customers, and creating a sustainable and friendly environment for their local communities.



Karbon Homes aims to drive the path to net zero homes by installing multiple energy efficiency measures. This will involve ensuring appropriate insulation coverage in lofts and increasing the thickness where required, installing external or cavity wall insulation, solar panels which will generate electricity for customers to use for free, and finally Q-Bot’s underfloor insulation.



Anthony Bell, Karbon’s Assistant Director of Asset and Regeneration said: “With the cost of energy rising fast, our work to improve the efficiency of our homes has never been more important. This significant investment, made possible thanks to support from our local authority partners, will reduce the energy demand from these 90 homes and in turn reduce carbon emissions.”



E.ON is the managing agent on behalf of Karbon Homes, acting as the Principal Contractor. E.ON is an energy provider of energy efficiency measures to social housing associations, local authorities, and private residential customers. The retrofit measures are usually financed through government funding such as the Local Authority Delivery Scheme, Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and Energy Company Obligation. E.ON plays a key role in the retrofit sector, delivering 11 other similar upgrade schemes across the country.



Dave Newitt, Director of E.ON’s Energy Installation Services division, said: “We work with local authorities and housing associations across the country to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of people’s homes and we’re delighted to be working with Q-Bot and Karbon Homes to improve the energy efficiency of homes across the Otterburn region.



By working with organisations such as the Karbon Homes, we’re able to utilise existing funding programmes through our Energy Company Obligation, to ensure residents can become more sustainable and benefit from lower energy bills and we can work together to support the UK’s net zero ambition.”



Q-Bot provides a unique method of installing underfloor insulation, fully recognised, and leveraged in the housing sector. Operating from its headquarters in London and with operational bases in New

Have to say it is quite unbelievable that ProAxis still haven't updated their website with the 3/4 new products.

There was mention of a new site but shocking that with all the new hires and expansion they miss the basics.

Looks like ProAxis is finally ready to showcase itself.
JPMorgan Healthcare is the place to be and you might notice they now have offices in Rockville USA.

Looking forward to the annual update (last year 6th Jan)

Christmas is approaching so place your orders now for a timely delivery for Q1 or even sooner.

2022 saw our company grow with Head Office doubling in size and the launch of new key products.

We will continue to build on this with all our partners, current and new in 2023!

The warrants are priced at 8p and then 10p.

We had an annual update on the 6th Jan this year from ProAxis.

7 products for sale, doing funding rounds and want to expand into the USA.

Elephant in the room is their abysmal sales of £100K in the last accounts?!

Total radio silence from the BOD on our main investments doesn't help.

Lot's of pussed off share holders who got suckered in at £1.30 and a few at 67p which explains the drip of sales into any rise.

Proaxis have 7 products on the market but they can't be a*sed to update their website to tell anyone. In theory they are looking for outside investors but no idea how that is going.

QBot doing £10M a year run rate but who would know.

Glycotest, god only knows.

Anyway, in the September 22 results assets where £30M with PDSB making up £4M of that.

PDSB is now £14M so the other £26M is in the SP for free.

Ivan and his mate own 55% so maybe the silence is a plan to take private on the cheap?

Either way, we should be above a £1.00 after yesterdays excellent PDSB results.

When PDSB hits $1B market cap or approx $30 a share, our holding will have a cash value of £2.00 a share.

If positive PDSB trial results continue to come in and the FDA engages, there is no reason to believe this won't happen. Remember PDSB owns the whole platform.

The rest of the portfolio is worth another £1.00 a share.

Should be an interesting year!

That didn't take long.

Twitter on fire with PDSB and quite a few mentions of NSCI as a way in.

Massive volume of 3M and some really bullish option positions being taken.

Up 25% so NSCI now worth PDSB and cash.

The other £25M of assets in there for free.
