The public can invest as little as $100, or as much as $10,000 or more with a simple online purchase. https://republic.co/axle-ai.
The interview with Blake, who manages the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region for axle ai, covers how customers are using axle ai’s powerful capabilities to work remotely during the dislocations caused by COVID-19, including examples from both Adobe and Avid editing environments. Axle ai has found significant opportunities to help the media industry, which is shifting from a “sneakernet” working environment where hard drives are handed off and edits are viewed over the shoulder in the same room, to a distributed work approach where media files are overwhelmingly shared, managed and searched remotely.
During axle ai’s successful equity crowdfunding round, the company has highlighted a number of its customers, new products including interfaces to products from Adobe, Dropbox and Avid, and most importantly the rapid trend by media teams towards remote work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Media centers such as New York, Los Angeles and London have all been impacted, as well as key axle ai customer segments like corporate marketing, churches and sports teams. There is a rapidly growing need for software to enable browser-based access to large amounts of media. axle ai’s customers include Elevation Church, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Madison Square Garden, NBC Universal, Paramount and American Public Television. A recent lively customer panel on the use of axle ai software to enable distributed media work is available for streaming at www.tinyurl.com/newnormalpanel.
