    A couple of good takeaways here. There are no AI startups. Only fintech, etc., startups deploying AI. And cycles do what they do. So we may be looking at better times ahead in venture funding.

    You need to inform users at a meeting that they are recorded in a video. This is privacy violation when no one is informed prior to the meeting. RESPECT ALL PARTICIPANTS PRIVACY. SO THERE IS NO CONFIDENTIALITY AT ALL.

    Such as powerful strategy when done right. To do this, you should have high-quality location data that you can use to reach those target audiences who are within the area you want to receive your ads, messaging, or any promotional content. One of the ways to perform this is by targeting audience on Facebook Ads. What we have found effective, budget-friendly yet with high ROI would be targeting people via EMAIL ADDRESS. This is because the audience is narrowed down, and you already have a specific audience that will surely receive your promotions. But to perform email address-targeted audience, you should have verified, valid, and updated data. You need an email list of people in the area. And to have that, USPS Address Lookup and Data Append tools can help you generate email leads of people living or around the target area. Hope that this makes sense! 😊
