Inbound Revenue Acceleration solution streamlines interactions between B2B buyers and sellers through real-time calendaring and inbox capabilities

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2020 — Chili Piper, the leader in Inbound Revenue Acceleration, today announced that it has raised $18 Million in Series A funding led by Base10 Partners with participation from Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI-focused venture fund. TJ Nahigian, General Partner at Base10, will join the company’s Board of Directors. With this new capital, Chili Piper plans to invest in product capabilities to enable remote sales teams to work more effectively and respond to buyer behavior instantly. The company also plans to expand its sales and marketing efforts to address the $100B+ CRM market and serve customers worldwide.

Founded in 2016 by a husband and wife duo, Alina and Nicolas Vandenberghe, Chili Piper started solving the frustrations of calendaring or scheduling between sales representatives and potential customers, and has evolved into a full suite of solutions to connect inbound opportunities to sellers instantly. Chili Piper Meetings synchronizes buyer and seller calendars allowing appointments to be booked instantly with ease — keeping reps busy and buyers on track to close. It also enables buyers to be connected to available reps via voice or video instantly ensuring a continuous buyer experience and journey.

"Our product suite at Chili Piper is the beginning of a major evolution in how people connect with customers. Since Salesforce moved customer data to the Cloud, we are connecting cloud collaboration to sales force automation–we call this Instant Inbound," said Nicolas Vandenberghe, CEO and co-founder of Chili Piper. "We are excited to partner with both Base10 and Gradient, both experts in automation and AI, to further invest in our goal to connect buyers and sellers instantly."

"While software has eaten the world, automation is the practice of putting that software into the hands of the next generation of workers. Chili Piper perfectly fits our thesis around leveraging software and cloud solutions to automate tedious tasks," said TJ Nahigian, General Partner at Base10 Partners. "We see the next generation of sellers demanding solutions to instantly connect them to buyers and shortening the time to close. In a more remote working world, we’re always connected and our go-to-market software solutions should take advantage of this new phenomenon."

Customers of Chili Piper include Fortune 500 enterprises such as Intuit and Hewlett Packard and startups such as Zenefits and Monday.com. These customers leverage Chili Piper’s instant inbound solution daily across thousands of sales representatives.

"Salesforce.com has failed to meet the needs of the modern seller. Inputting data into Salesforce is difficult, tedious, and feels archaic," said Darian Shirazi, General Partner at Gradient Ventures. "Chili Piper’s Instant Inbound solution transforms the modern seller experience allowing reps to instantly book meetings with customers, input sales activity directly through GSuite, and focus on closing deals without switching between your CRM and inbox. We’re excited to partner with Nicolas and Alina on their journey to make the buyer’s journey instantly gratifying."

SEMI Launches World’s First Flexible Hybrid Electronics Standards Technical Committee to Promote Industry Growth

Leave a comment

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Aug. 18, 2020 — SEMI today announced the formation of a new standards committee that aims to develop global standards for flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) spanning design, materials, manufacturing, packaging and systems and to drive industry growth. Unanimously endorsed by members of the SEMI North America Regional Standards Committee (NARSC) and approved by the SEMI International Standards Committee (ISC), the technical committee is the world’s first to focus on flexible hybrid electronics standards. The SEMI Standards Flexible Hybrid Electronics Global Technical Committee has established its first chapter in Taiwan.

"The SEMI Standards Flexible Hybrid Electronics Global Technical Committee sets out to clear development bottlenecks facing the industry and establish unified measurement standards for flexible smart textile, automotive, Internet of Things (IoT) and related devices," said Terry Tsao, SEMI Chief Marketing Officer and president of SEMI Taiwan. "The Taiwan chapter looks forward to kicking off the development of international industry standards that help Taiwan’s FHE sector promote industry growth by reducing costs and increasing competition."

Initial work of the SEMI Standards Flexible Hybrid Electronics Global Technical Committee will include establishing working groups to draft measurement standards; building industry consensus on the need for materials, equipment and manufacturing standards; and developing standards to accelerate the introduction of related FHE technologies into diverse consumer end markets.

"We are very pleased to see the establishment of the SEMI Standards Flexible Hybrid Electronics Global Technical Committee and are proud to be part of the working committee to draft the standards," said Steve Huang, executive director of Taipei-based AiQ Smart Clothing, an innovator with a significant pool of smart textile IP. "As a pioneer in smart textile applications, we are keenly aware of the challenges posed by an absence of standards and how it stifles mass adoption of new technologies."

The SEMI International Standards Program is in its 47th year, with the 1,000th SEMI Standard published last year. SEMI Standards cover fields including semiconductors, displays, photovoltaics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and smart manufacturing.

Singapore employees return to a changing workplace as COVID-19 accelerates greater collaboration between humans and technology, says GlobalData

Leave a comment

  • Employees empowered with new digital skills as COVID-19 accelerates greater collaboration between humans and technology
  • Advances in mobile technologies and applications is driving a collaboration boom as businesses adopt video conferencing and wearables as AI platforms
  • COVID-19 fueling automation of supply chains across different industries

SINGAPORE, Aug. 12, 2020 — As the economy re-starts in Singapore, workers are returning to a changing workplace as COVID-19 accelerates greater collaboration between humans and technology, empowering employees with new digital skills, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Various technologies are transforming ‘The future of work’ in Singapore including video conferencing and other collaboration tools, communication between smart objects, supply chain automation and digital twinning to provide virtual presentations.

Collaboration becomes an AI platform

The rapid advances in mobile technologies and applications has driven a collaboration boom since the pandemic started as businesses adopt video conferencing as AI platforms. OCBC Bank Singapore introduced a mobile app to launch ‘HealthPass’ which enables patients to book video consultation appointments with over 100 general practitioners. The use of wearables is also accelerating as mobile and wireless technologies support positive health outcomes through m-health. One example is ‘smart rings’ which provide advance warning of infections with a 90% accuracy.

Access agnostic connectivity

The seamless communication between smart objects over the internet is also proving to be transformative in the changing work landscape. Singapore-based telecom provider M1 has been working with regulator IMDA and airline manufacturer Airbus to trial unmanned aerial vehicles using 5G technology for the Singapore Port and Maritime Authority to use as part of its incident management response and the running of its general operations.

Automation

One of the biggest changes COVID-19 has brought is the automation of the supply chain with several industries such as manufacturing, healthcare and aerospace now embracing 3D printing. Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a method of producing nasopharyngeal COVID-19 testing swabs using 3D-printing and injection molding providing local production capability which will ease global shortages.

Data visualization, interpretation

Advanced digital technologies are also providing analytics tools and insights for line-of-business users. Several of Singapore’s capital-intensive industries including construction which has been one of the hardest hit, are investing in digital twinning to create virtual representations of processes and physical objects.

Dustin Kehoe, Head of Technology Research for Asia-Pacific at GlobalData, says: "One of the biggest challenges facing Singaporean businesses in the short-term is in HR. Employees will need a lot of reassurance and support to embrace the changing future of work and acquire the skills they will need to adjust to new ways of working, as work flows move from physical locations and rigid hierarchies towards peer-to-peer collaboration in virtual teams."
