Axle AI has been able to raise over $480,000 on the Republic3 platform, and now has over 1,000 investors in addition to key investments already made by Jason Calacanis, Stadia Ventures and Quake Capital. To date, the company has raised $1m and is now raising a $1.5m priced venture capital equity round.
In the wide-ranging interview, Bogoch and Daher discuss the ins and outs of equity crowdfunding, and his experiences working with Republic.com, one of the top Reg. CF/Reg. A+ platforms. They touch on the disruptive impact of equity crowdfunding and its opportunity to provide a whole new tier of funding for startups, whether in technology, lifestyle brands or healthcare. They also talk about the massive needs for storage and software in the rapidly growing media space, and how Axle AI has been able to able to meet a variety of challenges through its rise to leadership in the industry.
According to Bogoch, “The people doing video work actually have very similar roles and workflows, whether they work at a church, a sports arena, a political campaign or a major brand. They’re the people bringing the camera and gear, capturing the key footage, bringing it back on hard drives, editing it, and reviewing it with colleagues. So the work itself is very consistent.” That commonality across what appears to be a very diverse set of customers has been essential to driving Axle AI growth. Customers include Madison Square Garden, NBC Universal, Paramount, and Coca-Cola among many name brands.
