GGBET UA announced that it has officially been named as the title sponsor of Football Club Dynamo Kyiv. This marks the first time in the club's history it has partnered with a betting brand for title sponsor status. The partnership was announced on June 25 at the Dynamo 3.0 media event held in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Kyiv was the venue of a press conference with the leadership of UPL team FC Dynamo, who were celebrating another special occasion: 30 titles in the club’s history. CEO Dmytro Brif, team captain Vitaliy Buyalskyi, and midfielders Oleksandr Karavayev and Andriy Yarmolenko spoke about their journey to this latest achievement and future plans for the football club.

At the event, they presented a new title sponsor: GGBET UA will be a partner of FC Dynamo Kyiv for three years. Plans include continuing to bring the fans and the team closer together, opening up new sides of Dynamo to supporters through joint projects, custom content, and special offers.

During the announcement, GGBET UA CEO Sergii Mishchenko revealed the symbolism of the name:

“Dynamo 3.0 isn’t just about the thirty titles, although of course this is a momentous and historic event. It’s also about a new era for Dynamo and GGBET UA. It’s a totally new level of collaboration, with a status that no betting company has ever been awarded by the Kyiv club, and involving lots of time and possibilities for carrying out special projects. For us, this is an opportunity to work even more closely with football fans, to increase brand awareness, and to achieve both our own business objectives and those we can work towards with the club. So, I’m confident that during three years of collaboration, we’ll be able to impress both our users and Dynamo fans."

”Keeping the bar high and working with the best — that’s the dream of every club. This is a very inspiring period for Dynamo. We have thirty incredible successes under our belt. We’re entering the new season as reigning champions. We’re being supported by a partner who can significantly boost our media presence and help us to organize a range of activities that will surprise even the most demanding football fans. We’ll do everything we can to make sure that this season, the quality of our football and the ideas we embody with GGBET UA shine as brightly as the stars on our new emblem,” commented FC Dynamo’s CEO Dmytro Brif.

Previously, GGBET UA had been the official sponsor of FC Dynamo Kyiv for European cup matches, as well as the sponsor of its winter training camp in Turkey.

Nassau Street Partners has launched a new capital distribution program designed to bring curated strategic capital into mid-market deals from sourcing through close in under 120 days — signaling a major departure from the VC-first model that has long defined private markets.

The initiative, which integrates sector-specific investor mapping, faster prep cycles, and precision outreach, brings raise packages in front of several thousand investors in the space of only weeks.

This release comes as a growing number of companies raising $1 million to $50 million are abandoning the traditional venture pipeline and turning to strategic capital — family offices, operator-backed funds, and sector-aligned platforms — for speed, flexibility, and deeper alignment.

For years, venture capital defined the private market narrative: big checks, fast growth, and term sheets delivered over coffee. But in the post-ZIRP world, mid-market companies raising $1 million to $50 million are finding a different type of investor leading their rounds: strategic capital.

Family offices, small strategics, and non-institutional capital providers are quietly displacing traditional VCs in many mid-sized raises. The reason is not just market cyclicality. It’s structural.

Strategics Aren’t New — But Their Role Has Changed

Strategic capital traditionally referred to large corporate balance sheets chasing acquisitions. Today, that definition has evolved. The new “strategics” are smaller operating businesses, family-backed platforms, and high-net-worth groups with sector focus and hands-on operating DNA.

“These investors used to wait until a company had scale or synergies,” said Juan Moreno, managing partner at Nassau Street Partners. “Now, they’re showing up earlier, not because they want control, but because they want alignment.”

The alignment matters. Strategics bring more than capital. They bring channels, contracts, integration opportunities, and long-term positioning that pure financial players often can't. For companies seeking steadier, longer-term growth relative to traditional VCs, that's a better fit.

The Mid-Market Isn’t Built for Venture Logic

Companies raising $1 million to $50 million are too large for angels and too small or non-consensus for institutional growth funds. Many don’t fit the VC mold: they may be capital-intensive, slower-growing, or not reliant on winner-take-all dynamics. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t strong businesses.

“These are real companies with customers, revenue, and product-market fit,” said Saul Friend, director at Nassau Street Partners. “But when they approach traditional VCs, the answer is often, ‘Interesting, but not for us.’”

Venture capital is structurally designed to seek out hyper-growth, category-defining bets that return 100x. Mid-market operators seeking $8 million to expand distribution or acquire a competitor often don’t check that box.

That’s where strategic capital steps in.

Faster Closes, Higher Certainty, Longer Horizon

Strategic investors don't rely on Monday morning partner meetings. They move faster, underwrite from conviction, and are more flexible on structure. In recent transactions, Nassau Street Partners has seen term sheets land in under 30 days from first contact, with far less volatility than traditional VC processes.

More importantly, strategic capital tends to be patient. Unlike venture funds that need to return capital on a fixed timeline, family offices and platform strategics often hold assets indefinitely or recycle capital internally.

A Distribution Shift Driving the Trend

Another major factor: access. Traditional venture firms are increasingly filtered, concentrated, and reactive. A mid-market raise reaching 15–20 partners via intros isn’t enough. Distribution matters.

Nassau’s model reflects this shift. The firm distributes high-quality materials to thousands of pre-mapped investors, family offices, strategics, and non-institutional allocators, across the U.S., Europe, Middle East and Asia. It focuses less on “warm intros” and more on targeted velocity.

“The best capital doesn’t just show up. You have to reach it, and you have to speak its language,” said Juan Moreno.

That means tighter positioning, less pitch theater, and faster decision loops. Founders who engage early and frame their business with strategic ROI in mind consistently get more traction than those waiting for traditional VCs to circle back.

Case in Point

Recent transactions illustrate this trend clearly:

• A $25 million raise for a deep-tech venture fund was closed primarily with family offices, not institutional LPs.
• A $12 million round for a first-time medtech fund was placed via VCs and strategic operators with domain knowledge, despite having no legacy track record.
• A $5 million equity raise for a Middle Eastern EV charging network attracted strategic infrastructure capital, not clean-tech VCs.

None of these would have fit neatly into a traditional VC pipeline. All found stronger alignment through distributed strategic capital.

The Strategic Capital Advantage

Strategics bring more than money. They bring context. They understand operating constraints, capital intensity, regulatory risk, and long-term margins. They aren’t chasing unicorns — they’re building real businesses.

And in a market where capital is still abundant but increasingly fragmented, founders need more than a good pitch. They need a distribution strategy that reaches the right investors, not just the loudest ones.

Nassau Street Partners is built around that belief.

Independent market strategist Philip Yung Lundstrøm today announced verified personal profits of approximately $6 million USD for the year 2024, driven by a proprietary, system-based approach to trading and structured risk execution.

Operating entirely solo, without external capital or institutional backing, Lundstrøm has built a private track record rooted in precision, logic, and long-term strategy. His performance places him among the most consistent independent traders on several of the world’s top digital asset exchanges.

“Volatility is not the enemy,” Lundstrøm said. “It’s the environment in which disciplined systems thrive. Every decision I make is tracked, tested, and designed to scale only when the edge is proven.”

Lundstrøm’s approach draws from probabilistic thinking, edge modeling, and behavioral analysis—applying structured reasoning to unpredictable markets. His success comes not from speculative moves, but from systematized execution and an ability to operate clearly under pressure.

In parallel with his market work, Lundstrøm leads strategic campaign efforts for a select group of clients. Using timing-based amplification and narrative clarity, he supports digital visibility for individuals and brands seeking high-leverage exposure—without reliance on paid media or traditional marketing tactics.

“There’s a throughline between trading and visibility,” he noted. “Both depend on timing, clarity, and a system built for repeatable results.”

Looking forward, Lundstrøm is focused on refining his proprietary systems and continuing to work with a limited number of aligned partners. His goal is not mass exposure, but precision positioning and measurable outcomes—delivered quietly and consistently.

In the world of small-business financing, where speed and flexibility can make or break a company, Cardiff is quietly leading a transformation. Under the leadership of CEO William Stern, the company is reshaping how small businesses access working capital. It is moving beyond the outdated model of merchant cash advances (MCAs), also known as revenue-based financing, and ushering in a more transparent and business-friendly form of funding.

For decades, small-business owners have faced a rough road when seeking short-term capital. With their high credit requirements and sluggish approval timelines, traditional banks struggle to serve the dynamic needs of young enterprises. At the same time, the alternative finance space has faced its own credibility crisis, particularly as merchant cash advances became synonymous with hidden fees, vague terms, and aggressive rates.

Cardiff is rewriting that narrative by offering working capital in the form of a clear, fixed-term loan that combines the responsiveness of fintech with the stability and reliability business owners crave.

Reimagining Merchant Cash Advances

Originally developed as a fast-funding tool for businesses with high credit card volumes, MCAs were designed to provide lump sums upfront in exchange for a percentage of future receivables. While appealing in theory, the structure often proved unpredictable in practice and left business owners with variable payment amounts based on unpredictable agreements, leading to compounding costs that were difficult to forecast.

Stern recognized both the demand and the dysfunction of MCAs. "There was nothing wrong with the idea of fast capital," Stern explained. "The problem was in how it was being executed. Businesses need predictability. They need to know what they're signing up for."

Cardiff's working capital doesn't abandon the core benefit of MCAs—quick access to funds—but it retools the mechanics. Rather than owing an unknown percentage of future receivables, borrowers repay a fixed-term working capital loan with consistent monthly, weekly, or daily payments according to defined timeframes. The result is a financing option that maintains speed and flexibility while removing the risk of ballooning obligations.

What Makes Cardiff Different?

At the center of Cardiff's innovation is simplicity. The loan application process takes just minutes, requires minimal documentation, and doesn't hinge entirely on credit scores. Instead, Cardiff evaluates the actual health of a business, including its revenue trends, operational history, and day-to-day cash flow.

Once approved, a borrower can expect to receive funds in as little as 24 hours. That speed can be critical for businesses facing unexpected costs, seasonal dips, or time-sensitive opportunities.

"We've designed the process to move at the pace of small business," said Stern. "That means removing the friction points, such as waiting on documents and underwriting processes. We evaluate the company as they are and streamline approvals to keep them operational and on track."

This service is a cornerstone of Cardiff's brand. They match every borrower with a funding advisor who serves as both consultant and liaison. Whether it's walking through terms or planning for future financing needs, Cardiff's team ensures business owners feel supported, not sold to.

The Small Business Ecosystem in Focus

Stern's vision is grounded in a deep understanding of small business realities across sectors. Cardiff serves industries that often fall through the cracks of traditional lending, including trucking, construction, restaurants, healthcare, retail, and more.

These businesses are the economic backbone of communities, but they often operate with razor-thin margins and limited cash reserves. Waiting 30 to 60 days for invoice payments or battling seasonal lulls can be catastrophic without access to reliable funding.

By offering capital amounts ranging from $5,000 to over $250,000, with repayment periods designed to match business rhythms, Cardiff gives businesses room to breathe and grow.

A Reputation Built on Trust

In a sector that still suffers from skepticism, Cardiff has focused on credibility. William Stern emphasizes transparency and education as key pillars of the company's strategy.

"Our goal is to change the perception of short-term business financing," Stern noted. "We want to build long-term relationships, not survive on short-term wins."

To that end, Cardiff invests heavily in clear communication, from how it presents offers to how it structures repayment. Borrowers are not left deciphering contracts or blindsided by fees. They're empowered with the information they need to make confident decisions.

Growth Without Compromise

Cardiff deliberately avoids removing the human touch. Its model balances automation with advisory, streamlining processes without sacrificing personal connection. That hybrid approach has helped Cardiff maintain an edge in a crowded market.

"Growth is important," says Stern, "but not at the expense of service or trust. We want Cardiff to be a brand that business owners rely on year after year."

Rebranding working capital loans away from high-risk MCAs and moving them toward smart, structured term loans is a mindset change. One that William Stern and Cardiff are leading with a clear commitment to the small businesses that keep America running.

Offering a transparent, fast, and flexible alternative to the legacy lending model positions Cardiff as more than just a lender. It becomes a growth partner for business owners tired of red tape and ready for real results. Cardiff is a reminder that innovation doesn't have to come at the expense of integrity. With Stern at the helm, the future of working capital is already here for the people who need it most.

International demand for rhinoplasty in Turkey continues to surge as patients worldwide seek affordable, high-quality nose surgery options. Istanbul-based Dr. Celal Alioğlu has emerged as a prominent name in recent years, with his specialized practice reporting over 200 foreign patients seeking rhinoplasty in Turkey during the past year alone. All procedures are performed in Joint Commission International-accredited hospitals while consultations and follow-up care occur at the doctor's prestigious Bagdat Avenue practice.

Who Is the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Turkey?

Turkey's health-tourism landscape has become increasingly competitive, with many surgeons considered among the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Turkey. Due to his exclusive focus on rhinoplasty and extensive case experience, Dr. Celal Alioğlu's name frequently appears in patient forums, high-rated reviews on platforms like Google Reviews and Trustpilot, and ISAPS membership listings. His practice attracts patients from Australia, North America, and Europe seeking rhinoplasty in Turkey.

What distinguishes the most sought-after surgeons for rhinoplasty in Turkey is their commitment to functional and aesthetic results. The best practitioners ensure that every rhinoplasty procedure enhances appearance and respiratory function, creating outcomes that satisfy patients on multiple levels.

The clinic offers comprehensive virtual consultations before patients book their travel to Turkey for rhinoplasty. Internal audits confirm that Dr. Celal Alioğlu's revision rate remains consistently below international averages, which is widely considered a benchmark of surgical quality for rhinoplasty in Turkey.

How Much Does a Nose Job Cost in Turkey?

The rhinoplasty cost in Turkey represents a significant value proposition for international patients seeking quality nose surgery. Standard rhinoplasty packages in Istanbul typically range from $3,500 to $6,000, varying according to the clinic's reputation, surgeon's experience, choice of hospital where the procedure will be performed, and accommodation preferences. By comparison:

• Turkey: $3,500 to $6,000
• United States: $7,600 to $15,000
• United Kingdom: £7,000 to £13,000
• Germany: €6,900 to €8,900

International pricing analysis reveals that comprehensive rhinoplasty in Turkey typically costs 50 to 65% less than identical procedures in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. This significant price difference positions Turkey as a logical destination for patients seeking exceptional value in rhinoplasty without compromising quality.

This cost advantage has helped Turkey welcome over one million medical tourists annually, ranking rhinoplasty among the most requested procedures. Patients choosing Turkey for a nose job benefit from the country's high surgical volumes, allowing surgeons to refine their techniques through extensive experience.

All-Inclusive Rhinoplasty Packages: What Is Covered?

Turkey's all-inclusive rhinoplasty packages have become increasingly popular among international patients seeking nose surgery abroad. Most international patients prefer these comprehensive solutions that eliminate the need to coordinate multiple services separately. This has led most clinics, doctors, and hospitals in Turkey to develop flexible package offerings that address every aspect of the medical journey. These packages significantly simplify the planning process for patients traveling from other countries.

Dr. Celal Alioğlu's all-inclusive rhinoplasty packages include:

• Pre-operative video consultation while you're in your country
• Surgery performed in a Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospital
• Six nights' accommodation in a five-star hotel designed for international patients
• Private VIP transportation service between the airport, clinic, and hotel throughout your stay
• Comprehensive one-year follow-up care program to ensure optimal recovery and results

This approach to rhinoplasty in Turkey eliminates hidden costs and simplifies the experience for international patients. Everything from airport pickup to final check-up is coordinated within a single package, removing the stress of arranging multiple services separately.

This bundled approach has become standard among leading rhinoplasty providers in Turkey, streamlining the experience for thousands of international patients annually. The comprehensive nature of these packages contributes significantly to Turkey's growing reputation as a premier destination for rhinoplasty procedures.

Recovery Timeline and Return to Routine

Patients considering rhinoplasty in Turkey should understand the typical recovery trajectory. Most international visitors stay approximately seven nights: arrival and pre-operative testing on day one, surgery on day two, and recovery at their hotel for the remaining days. By day six, splints are typically removed, and patients receive clearance to return home by day seven.

While every patient's healing journey is unique and timelines may vary based on individual factors, the recovery process for rhinoplasty in Turkey generally follows these predictable milestones:

• Days 0 to 3: Peak swelling and bruising typically occur during this period
• Day 7: Removal of splints; most travelers cleared to fly home
• Day 14: Many patients are ready to return to office-based work
• Week 3: Light cardio exercise is usually permitted
• Weeks 6 to 8: Patients should avoid high-impact activities and pressure on the nasal bridge
• Months 6 to 12: Final results become visible as remaining swelling resolves completely

The rhinoplasty recovery process is gradual, yet the milestones are predictable. Structured aftercare ensures optimal results for every nose job in Turkey performed at leading facilities.

Is It Safe to Get Rhinoplasty in Turkey?

Safety standards are excellent for patients seeking rhinoplasty in Turkey. Many premier Turkish hospitals that serve international patients maintain Joint Commission International accreditation, while distinguished surgeons, including Dr. Celal Alioğlu, hold active membership in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

International patients are advised to select experienced surgeons who are ISAPS members and perform procedures in JCI-accredited hospitals for optimal results and peace of mind. These qualifications ensure adherence to rigorous international medical standards throughout the rhinoplasty journey.

JCI certification involves comprehensive evaluations of hospital facilities, infection control protocols, anesthesia practices, and emergency preparedness every three years. Surgeons with ISAPS membership participate in continuing education and maintain professional standards aligned with global best practices.

The high-quality care available in Turkey matches international standards while offering significant cost advantages, making it an exceptional choice for patients seeking rhinoplasty procedures abroad.

Final Thoughts: Choosing the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Turkey

Turkey has established itself as a premier destination for rhinoplasty by offering an optimal balance of quality care and value. The country's appeal stems from its transparent all-inclusive packages, internationally accredited medical facilities, and experienced surgeons specializing in rhinoplasty procedures.

When selecting from the best rhinoplasty surgeons in Turkey, international patients should prioritize credentials such as ISAPS membership, procedure experience, and JCI-accredited hospital affiliations. This careful evaluation ensures patients benefit from both the cost advantages of rhinoplasty in Turkey and the assurance of international standards of excellence.

With its combination of surgical expertise, comprehensive care models, and significant cost savings, Turkey continues to attract patients worldwide seeking quality rhinoplasty outcomes.

T-RIZE, a prominent creator of blockchain-powered AI infrastructure, has officially joined the Flower Pilot Program, a three-month project to scale federated learning in real-world settings.

The startup will offer a production-grade blueprint that allows institutions to train transformer models on sensitive rental data while maintaining privacy, auditability, and regulatory compliance.

The initiative, which is supported by Flower's globally known federated AI ecosystem, allows T-RIZE to demonstrate the possibilities of its Rizemind framework, an open-source toolkit that incorporates blockchain verification and economic coordination into distributed AI processes.

A Real-World Approach to Secure and Decentralized AI

T-RIZE's plan will concentrate on tabular data applications like as KYC, underwriting, and due diligence—all areas where data sensitivity and accuracy are critical. The solution combines Flower's federated training infrastructure with Rizemind's on-chain accountability, utilizing blockchain to record training outcomes and assure verifiability among participants.

"This blueprint isn't just theoretical—it's built for operational teams," said Madani Boukalba, CEO of T-RIZE Group. "We're bridging AI and blockchain not for hype, but to solve real enterprise problems, starting with due diligence workflows where privacy and proof matter equally."

The blueprint includes model code on GitHub, Docker images for deployment, schema validation tools, and step-by-step setup and monitoring instructions. It uses encryption, role-based access, and network limitations to meet high security standards.

Token Utility Provides Transparent Training

A crucial innovation is the blueprint's usage of the $RIZE token, T-RIZE's native digital asset. The coin acts as a unit of account for compute utilization, compensates contributors for model training, and stores results on the Rizenet blockchain. This adds economic coordination to AI activities while also providing transparent performance tracking.

According to the business, this strategy lowers the cost of inter-institutional collaboration, eliminates the need for centralized audits, and opens up new income prospects for data providers and validators.

The blueprint's release is carefully timed: as global organizations face AI compliance demands, federated learning solutions that combine privacy and accountability are becoming not just desirable—but also necessary.

A Strategic Collaboration with Broad-Reaching Impact

The Flower ecosystem, which is already being trusted by Mozilla, Owkin, Banking Circle, and MIT, serves as an excellent basis for this collaborative effort. T-RIZE's contribution adds a Web3-native layer of verifiability to federated learning, enabling traceable outcomes and trustless coordination.

Beyond the pilot, T-RIZE intends to expand Rizemind with zero-knowledge machine learning (zkML), multi-party computing (MPC), and dynamic noise injection—techniques designed to improve privacy while meeting future legal needs.

"AI regulation is coming fast, and enterprises need infrastructure that's not just compliant—but provable," Madani said. 

Availability and Participation

The blueprint will be provided at the end of the three-month Flower Pilot Program, with early access accessible to universities using rental datasets or compliance-heavy tabular data. Interested parties are encouraged to contact T-RIZE directly or stay updated via Flower's official channels.

SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ: SKYX) (“SKYX” or the “Company”), a highly disruptive smart home platform technology company with more than 97 issued and pending patents globally, today provided a comprehensive corporate update ahead of several key milestones. The Company also operates a growing portfolio of over 60 lighting and home décor e-commerce sites, reinforcing its mission to make homes and buildings smart, safe, and advanced as the new standard.

SKYX announced that it will officially be added to the Russell 2000 Index following the market close on June 27, 2025. This inclusion represents a significant milestone and reinforces the Company’s visibility among institutional investors and the broader financial community.

In parallel, SKYX revealed its central role in enabling a transformative $3 billion mixed-use Smart Urban City project in Miami’s Little River District. As part of this initiative, SKYX will deploy over 500,000 units of its advanced plug & play smart home technologies, including its AI-powered smart ecosystem, across the entire 63-acre development. The project will include more than 5,700 condos and apartments, a significant allocation for workforce and affordable housing, over 350,000 square feet of retail space, 1.5 million square feet of green walkways, parks, bike paths, shuttle lanes, and a $35 million Tri-Rail station. World-renowned architectural firm Arquitectonica is leading the project’s design, while development is spearheaded by SG Holdings—a joint venture between the Swerdlow Group, SJM Partners, and Alben Duffie, each with a legacy of major urban developments.

Financially, SKYX continues to gain strong backing from U.S. and international manufacturers in support of its large-scale product deployments. This support underscores investor confidence in the scalability and market demand for SKYX’s smart home innovations. As of March 31, 2025, SKYX reported $35 million in cash, sufficient to execute its near-term strategic goals and achieve cash-flow positivity in 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company generated record revenues of $20.1 million, up from $18.9 million in the same period the previous year, while also reducing general and administrative expenses by 17%, from $7.9 million to $6.6 million. SKYX also improved its gross margins and gross profit sequentially.

Anticipating strong seasonal demand, SKYX is preparing for a Q3 launch of its disruptive All-In-One Smart Turbo Heater & Ceiling Fan, with manufacturing already underway through long-term partners. The Company will launch two models of the patented product, targeting the multi-billion-dollar ceiling fan and space heater market. SKYX expects its products to be in 30,000 U.S. and Canadian homes by the end of the second quarter of 2025, with tens of thousands more to follow in the second half of the year.

To further support its growth, SKYX secured $15 million in preferred stock investments at $2 per share from strategic investors led by The Shaner Group, a major global Marriott Hotels chain owner. The round also saw significant participation from company insiders, including President Steve Schmidt and co-CEOs Lenny Sokolow and John Campi, signaling strong internal confidence in the Company’s vision and trajectory.

In a major manufacturing development, SKYX announced a strategic U.S. partnership with Profab Electronics, a premier electronic contract manufacturer based in Pompano Beach, Florida. This collaboration complements the Company’s manufacturing operations across Vietnam, Taiwan, China, and Cambodia, strengthening SKYX’s commitment to building a resilient and efficient supply chain.

SKYX continues to pursue national safety standardization of its ceiling outlet and receptacle technology. Its Safety Code Standardization Team, led by Mark Earley (former head of the National Electrical Code) and Eric Jacobson (former president and CEO of the American Lighting Association), is now backed by a prominent new leader from a key government safety organization. SKYX has already secured ANSI/NEMA approval and has been voted into 10 segments of the NEC Code Book. The Company expects that its technology, once the full range of product variations is complete, will be recommended by insurance companies due to its potential to reduce fires, ladder falls, and electrocutions.

SKYX continues to build recurring revenue streams through a “Razor & Blades” business model. The Company’s ceiling electrical outlet (Razor) serves as the foundation for a range of plug & play smart products (Blades), including lighting, fans, recessed lights, emergency fixtures, chandeliers, and more. The Company’s technology enables high-rise buildings and hotels to complete installations in days rather than months, providing an efficient and scalable solution for large-scale construction projects.

With an addressable market of approximately $500 billion in the U.S. and over 4.2 billion ceiling applications, SKYX is expanding both in the retail and professional segments. The Company generates revenue through product sales, licensing, royalties, subscriptions, monitoring, and global country rights. In addition to leveraging its 60+ e-commerce platforms, SKYX collaborates with major retailers including Home Depot and Wayfair to distribute its full suite of advanced and smart plug & play products.

Strategic partnerships also continue to accelerate SKYX’s market reach. These include collaborations with leading lighting manufacturers such as Kichler, Quoizel, EGLO, and Ruee, as well as integration into premium homes built by Cavco Homes, a top U.S. prefabricated home builder. SKYX’s technology will be installed across three luxury Forte Developments in Florida, totaling over 12,000 products across more than 400 units. Additionally, a 1,000-unit mixed-use project by Jeremiah Baron Companies will incorporate SKYX’s technologies, with initial deliveries to 140 units and more throughout the construction cycle.

To support distribution, SKYX has entered a strategic agreement with JIT Electrical Supply, a leading builder supplier that has served over 100,000 U.S. homes. JIT will distribute SKYX’s lighting and smart products beginning in early 2025.

In a key leadership move, SKYX welcomed Huey Long, former Amazon e-commerce director and executive at Walmart and Ashley Furniture, as the new head of its e-commerce division. Long will work closely with SKYX’s existing team to expand market penetration across its digital platforms and leading North American e-commerce channels.

About SKYX Platforms Corp.

Roland Berger in partnership with the Manufacturers Alliance Foundation released a report, "Navigating Uncertainty: The geopolitical impact on manufacturing trends in 2025,” finding that at a time marked by geopolitical tensions and trade and economic uncertainty, manufacturers are reassessing their strategies to navigate an increasingly volatile climate.

The study, the second in an in-depth research series looking at the evolving forces shaping the manufacturing sector, is based on a survey of more than 150 US-based manufacturing executives, as well as in-depth interviews with nearly two dozen CEOs, in sectors including machinery, computers and electronics, chemicals, food, plastics and rubber.

Stephen Gold, president of Manufacturers Alliance Foundation and president and CEO of Manufacturers Alliance shared, “Our latest research shows a sector grappling with complex challenges—ranging from policy uncertainty to talent shortages—but also uncovering opportunities to gain competitive advantage through technology, regionalization and agility.”

The research reveals a shift in mindset from long-term investment to risk management as companies adapt to heightened global instability.

Key Research Highlights

• Shift Toward Localization: Manufacturers are rethinking globalization. The current climate favors “capex-light” strategies, repurposing existing sites or forming regional partnerships, to localize operations efficiently.
• Changing Production Geography: Companies are increasingly turning to lower-risk markets like the UK and Japan over traditional low-cost hubs such as China and Mexico, favoring stability over cost savings.
• Talent as a Critical Pressure Point: 88% of executives expect workforce challenges to worsen due to geopolitical risk. In response, manufacturers are doubling down on workforce development, upskilling, and automation to build resilience.
• Accelerated Digitalization: Leaders in the industry are twice as likely to turn to digital tools as a strategic buffer against uncertainty, signaling a decisive move toward Industry 4.0.
• Rise of Customization: 72% of manufacturers are prioritizing product development to better match local demand, further supporting regionalization trends.
• Sustainability Takes a Limited Hit: While many foresee a pullback in sustainability investments due to geopolitical distractions, companies with sustainability embedded in their core offerings remain on their goals.

“Manufacturers are entering a new strategic era, one where geopolitical risk isn’t just influencing decisions, it’s rewriting the playbook,” says Michelle Drew Rodriguez, partner at Roland Berger. “Now more than ever, resilience, adaptability and regional relevance are the rising indicators of global manufacturing competitiveness.”

As financial uncertainty reshapes the face of America in 2025, the ways people access emergency funding are undergoing rapid transformation. Today, 7 out of 10 experience financial anxiety, creating unprecedented demand for fast and simple lending solutions. Responding to this urgent need, 1F Cash Advance is significantly expanding its nationwide presence, redefining how quickly and conveniently short-term financial assistance can be obtained.

Unlike traditional lenders burdened by lengthy and complicated procedures, 1F Cash Advance leverages advanced technology to provide nearly instant approvals and clear loan terms. Moreover, support is available to individuals with a range of credit scores. The company aims to ensure that essential funds reach clients as quickly as possible, but approval and funding times may vary by applicant, eligibility, and bank processing.

Financial writer and personal finance expert at 1F Cash Advance, Marsha Welch, highlights the growing importance of accessible financial tools:

"Today's financial reality demands flexibility and availability. We offer more than just convenience. We serve thousands of people nationwide who are facing unexpected financial challenges."

Striving to help millions bridge financial gaps, 1F Cash Advance continues to innovate, offering fast financial aid exactly when and where it is needed most. This has led to an expansion of the product line, tailoring loans to meet the diverse needs of individuals.

• Payday Loans for All Credit Types: Secure funds easily regardless of credit history. 
• Same-Day Loans: Get paid the same day if you qualify. Approval and funding times vary by applicant and bank processing. 
• Quick Cash Loans: Obtain emergency money within one business day. 
• No Credit Check Loans: Access quick loans without credit verification. 
• Bad Credit Loans: Borrow confidently with your low credit score. 

Quick cash loans are short-term financial solutions that give people fast access to small amounts of money—usually between $100 and $1,000—especially when traditional loans just aren’t an option.

What sets these loans apart is how quick and accessible they are. Unlike standard personal loans from banks, they don’t rely on credit scores. Instead, approval is based on your current income and whether you can pay the loan back within a short period—often by your next paycheck or within a few weeks. That’s why they’re a good option for people with limited credit history or lower credit scores.

The whole process takes place online and is built for speed. The application form is simple and takes just a few minutes to complete. In many cases, you’ll get a decision within an hour—or even right away. Once approved, funds are typically sent to your bank account within 24 hours, depending on the timing of your application and the bank's processing. That kind of turnaround can make all the difference when you’re dealing with an unexpected expense and need a quick solution.

Borrowers can select from preset loan amounts depending on their needs:

• $100 loans: Ideal for covering small, urgent expenses like transportation or groceries.
• $500 loans: Useful for mid-level needs such as minor repairs or medical services.
• $1,000 loans: Suitable for larger emergencies, such as rent shortfalls or home maintenance.

Loan terms are transparent, with clear repayment dates and total cost disclosures upfront. This minimizes confusion and helps borrowers avoid hidden fees or long-term debt traps. As a licensed service, 1F Cash Advance complies with all relevant federal and state lending laws, providing protections such as rate caps, clear repayment terms, and consumer-friendly practices. Loan approval, APR, repayment period, and loan amount are subject to eligibility, income verification, and applicable state laws. Late or missed payments may result in additional fees and affect your credit report.

Caroline Banton, a seasoned financial analyst and personal finance expert, explains the significance of this product in the current economic environment:

“Quick cash loans are an important part of modern lending. They provide people with a fast, legal, and organized way to address short-term financial difficulties. When used wisely, these loans can help avoid late fees, overdraft charges, or more expensive options, such as credit card advances or unlicensed lenders. According to data from the Federal Reserve, 40% of adults cannot afford an unexpected $400 expense, making these loans a real necessity.”

In short, quick cash loans online from 1F Cash Advance provide an efficient and reliable way to handle short-term financial disruptions. They are not long-term financial tools, but when used correctly, they allow borrowers to stay afloat and regain control until their next paycheck arrives. For those seeking speed, clarity, and accessibility, this product delivers all three—backed by a company that prioritizes compliance and consumer trust.

To better understand the shifting financial needs of Americans and ensure its loan products remain relevant and impactful, 1F Cash Advance conducted an internal analysis of customer behavior and application trends across 2024. The findings shaped both product development and outreach strategies, proving that fast-access lending is no longer a niche service—it’s a structural necessity for millions.

In 2024, the demand for short-term financial assistance rose significantly in several states. According to internal data from 1F Cash Advance, applications increased by 37% in Texas, 32% in Florida, 28% in Georgia, and 26% in California compared to 2023. In these regions, the company has paid out more than $200,000, and more than 5,000 applicants have been approved within an hour. Approximately 74% of these households were able to cover pressing expenses such as rent, utility bills, and groceries, thanks to the speed and accessibility of these loans.

The company's internal usage data also revealed the top reasons borrowers needed fast cash in 2024:

• 41% for rent and household bills
• 27% for unexpected medical expenses
• 15% for car repairs and essential transportation
• 9% for grocery needs and basic living costs
• 8% for emergency family situations or relocation

These figures reinforce a critical insight: Americans aren’t borrowing for luxuries. They are using short-term loans to resolve real, urgent, and often unavoidable financial challenges.

Looking ahead, it seems clear that the need for flexible credit will keep growing. According to the FedWatch model, inflation is expected to stay between 3.8% and 4.5% through early 2026, which means the pressure of everyday expenses isn’t going away anytime soon. At the same time, banks are tightening their lending rules, which could leave nearly 30% of people without access to credit—especially those with unpredictable income, little credit history, or freelance and gig jobs.

The rise in gig work and self-employment, which now accounts for a larger portion of the U.S. workforce, also means more income fluctuations. Without regular paychecks or benefits, many workers are left with few options when unexpected expenses arise. That’s why there’s a growing need for lending solutions that are fast, flexible, and built to meet people where they are financially.

As Marsha Welch, finance writer and personal finance expert, explains:

“Our research shows that more than 45 million adults in the U.S. now depend on income that isn’t steady—whether from freelance work, seasonal jobs, or working for themselves. These people often encounter financial gaps not because they’re careless but because the system wasn’t designed to support their way of earning. Fast-access loans, when built with clear rules and fairness, offer an essential financial safety net for today’s more independent workforce. It’s not just about getting money quickly—it’s about making sure everyone has a fair shot.”

To keep up with people’s changing needs, 1F Cash Advance is taking a forward-thinking approach. The company is enhancing its risk evaluation process, expanding its team of local lending advisors, and exploring flexible repayment options—all to make short-term borrowing safer, smarter, and more tailored to each individual’s situation.

But providing loans is only part of what they do. 1F Cash Advance is also committed to helping individuals develop better financial habits in the long run.

Every approved borrower gets clear, practical advice on how to manage their loan responsibly. There are also helpful tools that cover budgeting, planning repayments, and using short-term credit without getting stuck in a cycle of debt. According to the results of an internal user survey by 1F Cash Advance for 2024, over 80% of users say these resources have made a real difference in how they handle their finances.

As Adrienne Bailey, public relations specialist at 1F Cash Advance, notes:

“We believe that fast loans shouldn’t come with blind spots. That’s why we go beyond approval—our blog offers in-depth guides on repayment strategies, and our regional managers ensure that every borrower understands exactly what they're signing up for. Transparent, informed lending is what builds real customer trust—and that’s what we stand for.”

With a product rooted in real-life needs, backed by data, and built around responsible support, 1F Cash Advance continues to lead the way in making quick cash loans with no credit check both accessible and empowering—for today and for what’s ahead.
