Eikona offers a generative-AI engine that inserts an “adaptation layer” between marketers and their audiences, continuously modifying imagery, copy, video and layouts to maximize engagement and conversions. The system replaces traditional manual A/B testing by applying reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), letting actual customer interactions determine which creative variants are served next. Eikona integrates directly into existing marketing-automation stacks and is already deployed by dozens of companies in retail, telecom, finance, healthcare, insurance and travel. Customers report double- and even triple-digit uplifts in sales, retention and click-through rates. Founded by CEO Nir Weingarten and CTO Omer Hacohen, the Israeli-American startup focuses on industries where customer loyalty is strategically critical. By automating creative iteration at scale, the platform promises to lower marketing budgets while boosting performance. The company positions itself as a production-grade alternative to prompt-based GenAI tools, ensuring brand, product and legal integrity are preserved while content continually evolves. No revenue or user numbers were disclosed, but the firm emphasizes measurable business impact for its early adopters.

Entry is a Toronto-based startup building privacy-preserving, regulator-ready infrastructure that bridges traditional financial institutions with decentralized finance (DeFi). Its core protocol combines zero-knowledge identity (zkID) technology with an explainable AI compliance engine, allowing banks, brokers, funds, and governments to transact privately while meeting global regulatory standards such as MiCA, MAS, and SEC/FATF. The network is powered by the ENT utility token, which supports zk computation, node staking, governance, and per-usage AI compliance calls. Entry’s public testnet has been live since July 2025, and the company reports a commercial pipeline of more than 20 Letters of Intent along with participation in EU and APAC regulatory sandboxes. Revenue is expected from enterprise deployments, subscription licensing, management and maintenance, and compliance-as-a-service. Collaborations with Cardano Foundation, Avalanche, Secret Network, and BitcoinOS further embed Entry within the broader blockchain ecosystem. The recent $1 million pre-seed round values the project at roughly a $25 million seed fully diluted valuation, with a projected $50 million valuation at token generation. These funds will help advance the mainnet launch and expand institutional integrations.
