It has been a long time since we published on our own website. We have been busy!
Since the last post, there have been so many updates, regulatory movements and multiple closed-customer trials with global video games publishers.
The product is now >50x faster than a human at viewing and understanding social videos, and we have only just begun.

"Peaking out from behind the curtains"
RippleXn had been operating in ‘stealth mode’ to date. The closed beta has taken the original Proof-of-Concept and after many interactions have now come-of-age.
The latest milestone in a single campaign was the processing of >52 days worth of video in a single day..
The feedback from the customer trials has been unilaterally positive and the next handful are scheduled before Xmas. A lot more to come. The team are super excited.
The regulatory tailwind is building
Our next post will give more details. This is one of our favourite topics in the office and proves the business case beyond doubt.
When we started RippleXn with advertising compliance as the first product was seen by some as a nice to have. Now it is essential to have.
In summary, in the past year, there have been big movements all around the world. Regulators have been given ‘more teeth’, there are new bills out for consultation and growing general media interest.
Influencer marketing in 2022 had grown by nearly a 100% and budgets are expected to be bigger in 2023. Undisclosed advertising and online harms are being legislated global, with existing advertising compliance being strengthened.
For a startup coming to market soon, the ‘stars are aligning’!
