SEARCH FOR SYMBOL: VICEX

LAS VEGAS, NV, USA, August 16, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The Vice Fund (symbol: VICEX) remains committed to online sports betting as ESPN announces a 10-year deal with PENN Entertainment Inc. to create an online betting brand.

On August 8, 2023, ESPN announced that PENN Entertainment Inc. will operate the online sports book ESPN Bet. Reports say the global online gambling market size was valued at USD 63.53 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% from 2023 to 2030.

Under normal market conditions, the Vice Fund (VICEX) invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies that derive a significant portion of their revenues from a group of vice industries that includes alcoholic beverages, defense/aerospace, gaming, and tobacco industries.

The Fund concentrates at least 25% of its net assets in this group of four vice industries (but no more than 80% of its net assets in any single industry). “Vice industries” are those industries whose focus, in the Adviser’s assessment, may be morally questioned by members of the general public or face funding or regulatory challenges because of social disapproval. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States) and invests at least 40% of its total assets at the time of purchase in non-U.S. companies.

Expanding GTM Strategy with Launch of Ecosystem Partnerships & Incubates Startup Partnerships to Bring Vectara’s GenAI & LLM/NLU Models to Solution Builders

PALO ALTO, CA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 15, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Vectara, the GenAI Product Platform, is unveiling its global Ecosystem Partnerships program, underpinned by a commitment to support developers, product builders, enterprises, and startups to infuse GenAI into their offerings and expedite market adoption. The program is designed to incubate and embrace an Ecosystem of Co-Innovate, Co-Engage, and Co-Influence Partnerships that enriches “Better Together” business value and provides differentiation to make GenAI a reality.

The Startup Ecosystem plays an important role in Vectara’s Ecosystem Partnerships program. Vectara is helping startups with the tools and resources to integrate or build atop Vectara’s GenAI Platform, which never trains on your data, to reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-value. Vectara is also extending these capabilities and benefits to VCs, Accelerators, and Incubators as an offering to their portfolio companies looking to accelerate GenAI adoption.

“Vectara is at the forefront of the GenAI revolution, and we’ve embarked on a journey to forge the way that enables our partners and customers to seize this future-defining moment,” said Bader Hamdan, Vectara Ecosystem Chief. “Partner trust, empowerment, and delightful experiences are the guiding principles for Vectara’s Ecosystem Partnerships. We’re redefining the partnering engagement to co-create value and celebrate mutual success.”

To celebrate the launch, Vectara will be hosting a series of industry conversations at their Palo Alto headquarters in September.

“Vectara’s serverless cloud platform for Generative AI makes it easy to add advanced language understanding capabilities to your enterprise application, SaaS offering, mobile app, or website. By grounding LLM generation in your data using advanced neural search, Vectara reduces hallucinations, and the platform’s emphasis on security, scalability, and availability makes it an excellent foundation for modern development teams that seek to scale from prototypes to production systems on a single platform quickly,” said Amin Ahmad, Vectara Founder & CTO.

Removing barriers to entry for businesses to thrive and scale in the era of GenAI is intrinsic to Vectara’s Ecosystem Partnerships strategy. Vectara is building a collaborative and holistic GTM approach with a deliberate Partner Ecosystem to help businesses achieve their GenAI goals.

“We continue innovating Vectara’s GenAI Platform offering the industry’s most sophisticated LLM/NLU models. With the launch of our Partner Ecosystem and Startups program, we are taking one more step to enable the industry, regardless of company size, to achieve their GenAI outcomes,” said Dr. Tallat Shafaat, Vectara Founder & Chief Architect.

The power of community is fundamental to Partnerships success. Vectara is grateful to our launch design Partners: GTM Capital, Partnership Leaders, Race Capital, Transform VC, and Vertex US, for their contribution to our journey to shape Vectara’s Ecosystem Partnerships program launch.
