The Awareness Company (TACo) just secured $1.6 million in seed funding—a power move that solidifies their mission to revolutionise how organisations make sense of their data. Think of it as turning raw numbers into your favorite playlist: seamless, meaningful, and ready to vibe with your goals. Aions is ecstatic to be on this journey, vibing with TACo’s vision to create scalable, impactful solutions that hit the sweet spot of people, planet, and profit. TACo is using this momentum to go beast mode on scaling marketing and sales, locking in big-name enterprises like property investors who need smarter asset and finance optimisation. Shazia Vawda, Co-founder and CTO of TACo, said it best: “This funding is a game-changer for us. It gives us the firepower to fast-track our AI development, roll out some exciting features on our roadmap, and scale HYDRA to meet the growing demand. We're focused on creating a platform that's not just innovative but also flexible and scalable. We want to take the single data point to depths never seen before, delivering insights in a way that's never been done before.” And if that doesn’t scream “next-gen,” here’s our founder and CEO, Mitchan Adams, breaking it down: “Over the last decade, the majority of the potential in the tech space has existed under the IoT, Data Analytics, and AI spaces. Here we have one company that lives in all three of these realms. More importantly, the jockey riding this versatile horse has so much practical experience and intelligence in this space, it was almost a no-brainer for me.” With HYDRA gearing up to flex its AI muscles and a crew of visionary investors in the mix, TACo is set to make sustainability the main character. Actionable, profitable, transformative—the future’s looking like a Black Mirror episode, but with way better vibes. Stay tuned; this story’s just getting started.
