XLIO creates your perfect acquisition: a made-to-order startup. To achieve your product roadmap goals faster and more economically, we rapidly build the startup you really want to buy, and sell it to you for the price you really want to pay. You specify the targets for technology, team and timeline; we take on the risk and cost; and you purchase at a pre-agreed price only once the targets are met. It's a bold new approach that unlocks more value than a typical acquisition, while also providing the high-impact team of an acquihire that is pre-integrated into your business on Day 1. XLIO's innovative model means no surprises, predictable outcomes, and incredible value for corporate development and M&A teams, with significant benefits over traditional approaches: • The technology has been built for your infrastructure • The whole team looks forward to joining you • The IP is pre-integrated and already delivering value • The cap table is clean, so the cost is lower • The operations are streamlined, with no unnecessary staff • The process is simple, predictable and transparent Learn more and get in touch at https://xl.io

Grydd is a Supply Chain & Logistics Operating System (OS), that incorporates Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, providing operating and predictive data consolidation and analytics. We integrate all the elements of global and local Supply Chains into one intuitive platform. Grydd is a true end to end collaborative operating systems designed for all the players in the Supply Chain (Shippers, Carriers and Logistics Operators). We understand that the power of Supply Chain stems from the people and the data generated by those relationships during the logistics process. Our platform is a collection of internal and external variables, algorithms and data that help build a predictable, intelligent, and efficient environment. By connecting the GRID through enhanced Collaboration, Business Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence and Process Management modules we elevate an old school industry without disrupting its essence.
