We are coming out of stealth today with a $30mm Series A to build AI enabled mobile ad monetization for publishers. It's great to be back in the ecosystem w/ @sackdan and the A+ squad we've put together over the last several months. Thanks to @addition and our seed investors @nihalmehta @javelinvp for all of your support! We have designed the CloudX platform to be AI native and operable by agents out of the gate. Read more here:

Prices are up 20%, millions have crossed our southern border illegally, and our allies around the world are under attack. But don’t worry, America. Kamala says she wouldn’t change a thing.
"If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?" KAMALA: "There is not a thing that comes to mind." 🚨🚨🚨
