| Hi All, An important puzzle-piece about our space ... TechCrunch (18 June 2019) Meero raises $230 million for its on-demand photo platform "At its core, Meero is a comprehensive marketplace of photographers all around the world. This way, companies can find a freelancer and get photos back in less than 24 hours. Essentially, getting professional shots becomes an on-demand process." "The company has also been working on automatic photo-editing algorithms. If a photographer wants to accept more photo shoots, they need to spend less time editing photos. So Meero is working on AI-powered technology to automatically improve raw shots." "But the bigger news is that Meero plans to open the marketplace to individual customers. And yes, it means that your next wedding could be powered by Meero — that’s a lucrative industry." "Meero has managed to attract 31,000 clients in 100 countries. There are currently 58,000 photographers on the platform. Six hundred people work directly for Meero across five different offices." Source: TechCrunch |

| @DanSmigrod Wow! If this isn't a solution looking for a problem, I am not sure what is? And, an unnecessary layer between provider and Customer. Seems like so many aggregation/lead gen conversion sites that currently litter the Internet. Media assets delivered by noon the next day? Don't most of us do this now (or, perhaps by 6pm next day)? Dan, seems like an opportunity for WGAN! If they raised $230MM on a hope and a prayer, you ought to be able to raise at least $500MM based on your experience and depth of field via WGAN. I'll cover a portion of Denver Metro for you. Just sayin'... |

| Hi All, So far, Meero has raised $293.4 million. Matterport has raised $114 million. If @bryanhscott and @hometakes $500,000,000 and $1,000,000 checks respectively don't get lost in the mail, We Get Around Network will have raise $501,000,000. Looks like we have a wiener. Thanks to you, WGAN is top dog!  Dan |

| If you want to work for 5-15$ an hour, then enjoy meero. Otherwise it´s a problem IMO. Their presentation may look good for investors, but it totally kills the market for (semi-)professional photographers due to their low cost pricing. Some of their offers didn´t even cover the travel costs. | ||

| I have read it, read it and read it again. Still not getting who are all these investors who have given them 230m and for what exactly. Seriously, it looks like some people do not know what to do with their money and start throwing them around as long as there is "AI" term somewhere between the lines. | ||

| BTW, it is worth reading Meero reviews Not the ones with a lot of stars though, skip them and read 1-2-3 stars review. They probably paint quite a realistic picture. Good luck to investors! |

| Video: WGAN-TV How Matterport Will Scale Exponentially Short Story #731 - Matterport Service Partner Program with Matterport CMO Chris Bell Video: WGAN-TV How Matterport Will Scale Exponentially Short Story #733 - Matterport Service Partner Program with Matterport CMO Chris Bell Hi All, Meero is separate from the MSP Program, says Matterport CMO Chris Bell. It's just a coincidence that the two companies raised money in the same month. Dan |
