Acceleration at Scale The right VC could do more than invest in Localzz — they could accelerate a movement. Localzz isn’t a single platform. It’s an ecosystem being built — 100+ live marketplaces, millions of listings, 750+ branded domains, and a roadmap to 1,000+ marketplaces, 1,200+ national-to-local media sites, SaaS products, CRM tools, AI layers, commerce integrations, and even social connectivity. The foundation is already here. The momentum is real. The right strategic partner or VC could turn this into full-speed execution — from vision to national infrastructure for local information, business, and community.

LuneTempo is officially here. We’re building better systems for people and performance, partnering with healthcare innovators, creative founders, and purpose-driven brands to turn bold ideas into sustainable impact. In just the past few months, we’ve: • Helped NuCell Solutions streamline EpicCare Link referral operations, reducing patient onboarding time by 32% and improving monthly revenue capture by 18%. • Supported Happy Vibes Brand in scaling its Shopify fulfillment and content workflows, saving the team 20+ hours per month while cutting operational costs by 25%. • Partnered with Escobar Films to build a cinematic pitch deck and creative workflow system, accelerating delivery timelines and client approvals by 40%.

Follow along as we share insights, wins, and lessons from the journey. #LuneTempo #Consulting #Operations #Strategy #Community #Innovation #Healthcare #CreativeBusiness #DigitalTransformation #AIImplementation

We get asked this one a lot: How does Ambassador Software compare to Yotpo? Here’s the reality ⬇️ Yotpo started with reviews. Over time, they bolted on loyalty and referrals. The result? A fragmented stack that’s costly, clunky, and tough to orchestrate. Ambassador Software 3.0 was built unified from day one: ✅ Referrals, loyalty, incentives, and feedback in one platform ✅ Orchestrated by Hiro AI for automated journeys ✅ Vaults, Ledgers, and Storefronts for ROI and compliance ✅ Native integrations with Salesforce, Shopify, HubSpot, and Twilio One is a stack of add-ons. One is an OS built for growth. 🎥 Watch the video to see why brands are choosing Ambassador 3.0. #ReferralMarketing #CustomerLoyalty #ConversationalCommerce #Ambassador3

Localzz — The Local Operating System 💡 What if there was a Local Operating System for the digital world? Localzz is building exactly that — a connected digital ecosystem that operates like an OS for local information. It connects 850+ domains, 100+ live marketplaces, 6.5M+ listings, and 165+ tier-two brands — each designed to handle a different “function” in the local digital stack: Marketplaces = local commerce Media = local storytelling SaaS = business tools AI = automation CRM + Reviews = relationships Just like an operating system powers devices — Localzz powers local economies. #Localzz #DigitalEcosystem #LocalOperatingSystem #Marketplace #LocalInnovation

🇫🇷 🇮🇹 Volta Software has raised €5m led by RTP Global, taking total funding to €11m to scale its AI platform for B2B distributors and suppliers. The French–Italian team is tackling the analogue core of B2B sales, where Excel files, PDFs and emails still dominate. Volta unifies catalogue, orders and commercial follow-up in one place, integrating with ERP, CRM, PIM and WMS. Built on three pillars, unify, automate and amplify, the software removes up to 90% of manual tasks from order entry to price updates, then surfaces data-driven recommendations. Clients report +11% average sales uplift and seven hours saved per employee each week, and the company has secured more than €1m over the past six months as adoption accelerates. Context matters. B2C moved online years ago, yet in 2024 only 10% of French firms with more than ten employees reported using AI, and the domestic B2B market is estimated at €360bn. Backing from RTP Global, an investor in Qonto, SumUp and Datadog, comes alongside Pascal Houillon and existing supporters Emblem, Robin Capital and Founders Future. Founded in 2024 and led by CEO and co-founder Paul Guillemin, Volta counts around thirty people across France and Italy and plans to double to c. 70 within six months. ▪ €5m round led by RTP Global on 22/10/2025 ▪ Total funding now €11m after a €6m raise in Nov 2024 ▪ Backers include Pascal Houillon, Emblem, Robin Capital and Founders Future ▪ c. 30 people today across France and Italy, targeting c. 70 within six months ▪ More than €1m secured over the last six months Cheering Paul Guillemin, Mario Parteli, and the Volta team as they build modern rails for European B2B commerce! -- 👀 Follow aulium for more news and insights about Innovation and Investment -- #funding #b2b #ai #saas #commerce #europe #distribution #startups 🔥 aulium is made possible thanks to LoanTube, Calmon Partners Executive Search

In Q4, retention compounds faster than acquisition. Startups that only chase new customers spend more, burn more, and enter January exhausted. The ones that win double down on: -Improving customer experience. -Increasing repeat purchases. -Building habits that outlast discounts. Retention is the hidden growth lever in Q4 — and the one most overlooked. #GrowthMarketing #Retention #CapitalEfficiency #StartupMarketing #FractionalCMO #GroundUpThinking
