DIY hedge funds for the 99%. Uliaa is a web platform where anyone can design, implement and operate their very own personal hedge fund, by designing and sharing sophisticated Smart Investment Strategies which our platform can execute (auto-trade) automatically and continuously to maintain the user’s investment portfolio. Unlike other portfolio management products, our users retain total control over all of their assets, with no “discretion” left to fund managers. Our users specify their own investment strategies (either from first principles or by modifying an existing strategy purchased from a professional) and the platform automatically follows those strategies, leaving nothing to chance (or a fund manager’s whim) and all control firmly in the investor’s hands.

We are a pre-seed/seed fund focused on backing founders across Australia & New Zealand, and the US, supported by a world-class team of founders, mentors, and advisors from Australia, Silicon Valley, and beyond.

API-first security and privacy for developers, in just three commands.

Your super app for health.

Thanks.Dev connects companies with the Open Source projects they rely on. We make it easier for them to financially support these projects. Companies can then augment their engineering teams efficiently in the process. ###So how does it work? Everyone can now go to https://thanks.dev/home, log in with their GitHub or GitLab account and nominate how much they’d like to donate every month – could be as little as $5 or as much as $100k. By default, thanks.dev then collates the dependency tree across all the repositories in all the organizations you have access to and trickles your donation across that tree 3 levels deep up to 8 decimal places on the dollar. This default however, can be adjusted by the user. Everything is automated. ### Why makes me think that this a good approach? thanks.dev attempts to solve away the “Who should I donate to and how much should I give them?” component of supporting open source. The biggest current side effect of this barrier is the unbalanced distribution of donations across the ecosystem with popular projects receiving the lion’s share of donations. The motivated minority primarily donate to the handful of projects that are front of mind. For example, Webpack receives close to $200k in funding per year via OpenCollective but its direct dependencies receive minuscule amounts of funding and there’s 80+ of them at last count. ##So how can you help? It would be great if you could donate to your own dependency tree using thanks.dev and help spread the word. Beyond that I would be forever grateful if you could shoot us your feedback whatever it may be or any insights that could help me execute faster.

Section is a Cloud-Native Platform as a Service (PaaS) that continuously optimizes the orchestration of global infrastructure to run distributed applications at the right place and time, always. There are thousands of major data centers distributed across the United States alone - many of these data centers powering “Cloud Compute” capabilities. Today every DevOps team has to go through a largely arbitrary process to choose which location on the planet is the right location for their code and then deploy and manage that location. Meanwhile, microservices, containers, and Kubernetes (K8s) help to free apps from infrastructure, enabling them to work independently and run anywhere. But deploying and managing many K8s clusters across locations and providers is incredibly complex. Section solves for both of these challenges by enabling DevOps teams to simply deploy and manage cloud-native applications adaptively across an open global infrastructure footprint. Sections computational approach via their patented Adaptive Edge Engine pairs intent with demand and resource availability to ensure that applications are always running in the most optimal locations.

StorReduce is pioneering a virtualization layer containing numerous unique technologies for companies to move data to and better use it at scale on object storage and cloud. StorReduces vision is to enable enterprises to have a single cloud data lake with no data silos, that is affordable, scalable and maximizes the data’s business value. One technology in the StorReduce virtualization layer is software defined, scale-out deduplication with a cloud native interface. The only deduplication built for modern cloud object storage, StorReduce reduces object storage costs, speeds up transfer, by up to 97% and enables reuse of the data and metadata on object storage with generic cloud services. (See StorReduce Malware Detection demo at https://youtu.be/9_FNSqaNUDU.) A single StorReduce cluster can handle 10s to 100s of petabytes of data at extremely high throughputs and enables new business cases such as removing backup appliances and storing primary backups straight to object storage or cloud. Other technologies in the StorReduce layer include: Object Clone, Deduplicated Replication, StorReduce Insight and more. See storreduce.com for details. StorReduce was 1 of 4 partners worldwide for the AWS S3 Infrequent Access launch, 1 of 8 partners worldwide for the Google Cloud Coldline launch and was recommended by Gartner as a cloud deduplication software in their report: Market Guide for Data Center Backup Targets. StorReduce is in production around the globe and is recommended by most leading clouds and private object stores. StorReduce software installs on-premises or in your cloud or object store in minutes and is available for Free Trial by contacting StorReduce.
