What a fun summer the Raven team is having. We are heads down grinding and meeting different ecosystem builders. The efforts are paying off. We got to be a part of and help build a community of true believers in Raven during a bear market. It is so humbling. Over 3,500+ people have joined our Telegram from all over the world.

It’s awesome meeting other real builders in the community who understands why your tech solves a real problem for them. That’s what we found with Volareo — a smart speaker based out of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Natural language processing and speech recognition requires extracting millions of parameters to identify structure and patterns. It is computationally intensive. We’re excited to power this on smart speakers built by a team that has shipped over 500,000 hardware units globally.

Dutch entrepreneurs know how to hustle. We want to do everything possible to support projects coming out of the Netherlands. If Volareo is just a small sample of talent coming out of there, then we know the country has some of the best hustlers we’ll ever see in the world.

Sherman Lee (Co-founder of Raven Protocol) and Nick Yap (Founder of Volareo) take a selfie. The launch party for Volareo was a success and they were overfunded in 2 hours.

Nick Yap, founder of Volareo says, “Through this partnership we ensure that Volareo will stay on the forefront of the new smart devices market and bringing tangible value into people’s lives. NLP will be critical in dominating the voice dapp industry.”

The team at Raven doesn’t take this responsibility lightly. We know we need to execute and deliver. When we’re building something for real users, we have a real business that depends on us. This will be an infrastructural layer of voice applications. We’re ready to step up to the challenge and work closely to build this ecosystem together.

Let’s do this.
