Sales leader brings over 20 years of experience driving growth at top B2B tech companies

BOULDER, Colo., June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Valid8 Financial, the leader in Verified Financial Intelligence (VFI), has named Todd Ludwig as executive vice president for sales. Ludwig will lead Valid8’s sales strategy and execution, focusing on expanding the company’s customer base and driving revenue growth. Ludwig is the company’s most recent leadership addition following Valid8’s $8.5 million Series A funding round.

Valid8’s software is used by forensic accountants, legal teams, and investigators working on complex financial fraud cases, partnership disputes, family law cases, bankruptcies, asset divisions and more. The company’s proprietary AI allows users to quickly extract critical details from countless documents and transactions, improving the speed and quality of rendering courtroom-ready evidence.

“The creation of this new sales role underscores our commitment to assembling a world-class leadership team to help more customers leverage VFI in pursuit of financial investigations that were previously thought to be too resource-intensive,” said Chris McCall, CEO and co-founder. “Todd’s proven track record of crafting innovative sales strategies, building high-performing teams, and nurturing strong client relationships will be invaluable as we enter our next phase of growth.”

Ludwig brings over two decades of experience in B2B technology sales leadership to Valid8, having previously held senior roles with IBM, HP Enterprise and Akamai. Most recently, Ludwig served as vice president at DataVisor, where he doubled annual recurring revenue each of the past three years. His team at Valid8 will focus on introducing VFI to new private- and public-sector customers while expanding to new use cases for existing buyers.

“Valid8’s innovative VFI platform is transforming financial investigations of all kinds, and I’m eager to get started,” said Ludwig. “Reducing investigation timelines from weeks or months to days means our customers will have greater financial visibility faster, and more fraudsters will be brought to justice, sending a clear message to would-be criminals that fraud does not pay.”

SEOUL, South Korea, May 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Graid Technology is pleased to announce its participation in AI EXPO KOREA 2025, Asia’s premier artificial intelligence exhibition, held from May 14–16 at COEX Hall A in Seoul. During this prestigious event, Graid will showcase its comprehensive solutions in AI and high-performance computing (HPC) storage, demonstrating how SupremeRAID™ is revolutionizing data infrastructure for next-generation workloads. Founded in Silicon Valley in 2021, Graid Technology has quickly become a trailblazer in the storage industry, pioneering GPU-based RAID data protection acceleration, which offers unparalleled speed, security, and reliability—outpacing traditional RAID technologies.

Backed by two U.S. patents, Graid’s technology excels in both speed and security. The first patent, Data Transmission and Protection System and Method Thereof, introduces a GPU-based RAID controller that eliminates data bottlenecks between applications and SSDs, significantly enhancing transfer speeds compared to traditional solutions. The second patent, granted in April 2025, Distributed Journaling for Write Operations to RAID Systems, focuses on a breakthrough in data integrity, ensuring critical data is protected and quickly recoverable in the event of a system crash or unexpected shutdown—setting a new benchmark for RAID data protection.

Graid Technology will also highlight its edge-to-cloud strategy, delivering next-generation infrastructure across the AI pipeline. On the edge, Graid will unveil one of the most powerful edge computing workstations, Supreme100, at the show—supporting eight Gen5 NVMe SSDs and a 450W GPU, the system delivers transfer speeds up to 100GB/s, with quiet acoustics suitable for office environments. In the cloud, Graid’s HPC cluster solution integrates the SR-1010 with BeeGFS over InfiniBand, achieving 80GB/s speeds with scalable capacity and linear performance. Built-in high-availability (HA) services reduce infrastructure costs while maintaining optimal uptime—ideal for AI, HPC, and ML workloads.

At AI expo Korea, Graid will collaborate with leading partners Infinitix and Teratec to present a comprehensive AI ecosystem.

ConnectM Provides Update from CEO

Published

on

By

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a high-growth technology company on the leading edge of the energy economy, today issued the following letter to shareholders:

Dear ConnectM Community, 

As promised, I would like to provide some more details on my team’s plan to regain compliance and re-list on Nasdaq. 

First, I want to reiterate that ConnectM’s fundamentals have not changed. Our operations and growth prospects are as strong as ever. We have several appealing capital raise, organic, and inorganic growth options available to us, and management will prudently evaluate these options in the best interest of our stockholders. I believe the future remains bright for ConnectM and our intrinsic value is well above our current market price and would like to outline a plan in a bit more detail.

As mentioned in yesterday’s release, to provide immediate liquidity to our stockholders, we have already down-listed to the OTC Pink Open Market and our stock can be traded through certain brokerage accounts, including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, E*Trade, and Interactive Brokers. Some of these platforms require user approval for OTC trading and users may need to adjust account settings and risk profiles so please check with your broker if you would like to trade our stock. 

Our team is currently laser focused on the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2024, followed by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.  Due to the growing nature of our business and the sophistication of some of our derivative financial instruments, the complexity of these reports has increased exponentially since 2023—as reflected by the 10X more hours our team has spent compiling them. Unfortunately, this has led to delays, but we believe we have put in the requisite controls and processes in place to file timely going forward. 

In parallel with the filing of our 10-K, management is evaluating all available options including applying to uplist from OTC Pink to a higher OTC exchange tier, whose listing rules require current reporting status. Trading on a higher OTC tier indicates to the market that the Company meets reporting standards and baseline governance. Unlike OTC Pink companies, higher tier OTC companies must remain current in their disclosures, thereby improving credibility and investor confidence. In parallel with an OTC uplisting, we intend to re- file our re-sale S-1 and continue to work with our investment bank and capital market advisor, ThinkEquity, on a capital raise plan to bring fresh growth capital into ConnectM. 

In conjunction with a capital raise process, our team will evaluate an IPO or uplisting back to Nasdaq or NYSE as soon as possible under the exchange listing rules. 

We are confident this process will result in a stronger, more resilient ConnectM. My management team and I want to reiterate our commitment to the company, our employees, our stockholders, and our community. ConnectM is a viable, strong, growing company and we will demonstrate this in due course. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with your questions via our contact information below: 

CNTM@redchip.com

Sincerely Yours, 

Bhaskar Panigrahi
