Invest in Tone with Helios via Fairmint Equity Crowdfunding Round

NEW YORK, January 5, 2023 - Pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, Helios Life Enterprises, opens new equity crowdfunding round with Fairmint. Last year, Helios exceeded equity crowdfunding expectations by 150%. With Fairmint’s support in 2023, Helios will grant equity to those who want to support the team’s mission to make tonal insights universally available. Helios technology systematically translates the subtle nuances of an individual’s voice into valuable insights - at scale - playing a unique role in the voice technology market which is projected to reach $55B by 2026. Crowdfunding support will supercharge Helios efforts, enabling more companies to tap into this new and powerful field of voice analysis.

To get in early and learn more about Helios, head over to our Fairmint Campaign page and join the mission.

“Our capital strategy at Helios continues to drive us towards the capital markets. We believe the time for tone is now. Our decision to launch our 2023 capital raise utilizing Fairmint is a continuation of that target,” said Helios Co-Founder and CEO, Sean Austin. “We will bring in new shareholders across the globe who believe in the vision of Helios. Voice tone is 38% of a message and applies to every domain; from asset managers to market research teams.”

What’s the Problem and How Do We Solve It?

Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, and other tools brought voice technology into everyone’s hands. Natural Language Processing (NLP) has also driven incredible progress in teaching computers the meaning behind our words. These existing technologies can be accessed at the push of a button or better yet, a voice command.  So, why is it that we still get frustrated when it seems like our message is not being heard?

The answer is simpler than we think. Existing technologies are, in essence, tone-deaf. While our commands might be heard, our tone is not. Decades of biosignal and neuroscience research shows that vocal tone accounts for 38% of human communication. At Helios, we envision a future where tonal insights are universally available. Our voice tone intelligence engine interprets the nuances in an individual’s voice to create valuable insights.

Current Offerings: We Provide Tonal Intelligence to Investors

With advanced voice-processing and AI technology, Helios currently helps investors tap into this brand-new field of tonal analysis to incorporate tone into their own investment decisions. Investors gain greater transparency and a broader market picture by analyzing the way executives speak.

Did you know, a CEO alone can account for up to 45% of a company’s performance?

A better understanding of a company’s c-suite is a better understanding of a company’s overall performance. Events, such as the FTX collapse, have greatly increased the need for transparency in the markets. We cannot continue to operate in a world where voice tone is not systematically incorporated into our decision-making process.

The Helios engine can identify discordance between voice tone and word choice, forecast implied volatility, showcase price-action predictions that outperform media sentiment providers/benchmark, and many more brand new insights.

Ultimately, Helios’ bionic ear promotes transparency in people, companies and financial markets.

2022 Highlights

Since its beta launch in October 2020, Helios has increased data (1000x) and now supplies customers with over one million data points for analysis in our flagship Comprehend: Elite product alone. Additionally, we have increased neurolinguistic tonal features twofold which allows for improved analysis algorithms; expanded coverage to include tonal fingerprints for 4,500+ equities and their executives (10K+ executives); and increased the types of audio events covered. Throughout it all, the team has seen accelerated adoption from high-profile clients from the institutional investment space.

Our Future

Today, text is optimized. Tomorrow, tone will be too with the help of our technology.  Tone is quickly becoming a standard necessity for automated analyses and the future of voice communication. Voice is everywhere and conversational AI is growing exponentially. Tone, like voice, is everywhere; however, tone is largely untapped.

However, all roads lead to voice (audio and video) and as a result tone – the next frontier to increase media understanding across industries. Tone of voice is needed to bridge the gap between humans and machines. Learn how voice AI can increase EQ due to technological advances.

Tonal intelligence can be layered with textual analysis, NLP (Natural Language Processing) and sentiment analysis, to intelligently connect more facets of complex and unstructured data. The result is a sharper understanding of conversational intelligence for everyone from investors to marketers.

The global alternative data market size alone is projected to reach over 149 billion USD by 2030 from 2.9 billion in 2021 and growing at a CAGR of 54.92% from 2022 to 2030. Learn why investors are leveraging alternative data to improve investment decisions. Moreover, the voice technology industry at large is projected to grow to $55B by 2026. An opportunity too large to ignore.

Where there is voice audio, there should always be tonal analysis. When there is tonal analysis, the highest level of conversational intelligence can be achieved.

What Makes Helios Different?

Helios' tone-first distinctive audio capabilities add dimension to human understanding. Our unmatched IP and product excellence is backed by decades of bio-signal and neuroscience research. Helios has already built an engine that cannot be replicated.

Meet the brain behind our brawn, Dr. Gerwin Schalk, as well as Helios’ driving force, Sean Austin.

We are on a mission to unleash a new set of technologies that will set the stage for a more intimate connection between humans and machines.  Tonal intelligence has the potential to help humans improve not only their IQ, but their EQ as well.

Vital components of human communication are often excluded when it comes to technology, leading to a frustrating user experience, loss of valuable insights, premature or uninformed decision making and ultimately a lower emotional awareness. Tone is the number one passive indicator of what someone is thinking. Helios accounts for those crucial tonal components necessary to being understood.
