Big Tech Has Spent Billions Acquiring AI Smart Home Startups

The pattern is clear: when innovative companies successfully integrate AI into everyday products, tech giants pay billions to acquire them.

Google paid $3.2B for Nest.
Amazon spent $1.2B on Ring.
Generac spent $770M on EcoBee.

Now, a new AI-powered smart home company is following their exact path to acquisition—but is still available to everyday investors at just $1.90 per share.

With proprietary technology that connects window coverings to all major AI ecosystems, this startup has achieved what big tech wants most: seamless AI integration into daily home life.

Over 10 patents, 200% year-over-year growth, and a forecast to 5x revenue this year — this company is moving fast to seize the smart home opportunity.

The acquisition pattern is predictable. The opportunity to get in before it happens is not.

In the midst of financial uncertainty, stablecoins are quietly carving out their territory as the go-to digital dollars in the crypto industry while gaining momentum in the broader market. While equity and bond markets flounder, Matrixport's latest findings highlight a confident and steady growth in stablecoin inflows, suggesting these digital assets are gaining ground despite the market's tremors. With increasing institutional involvement and a significant rise in active stablecoin wallets, the evolution of stablecoins is more than a passing trend—it's a financial transformation promising resilience and diversification.

Emphasizing the increasing power of stablecoins, specifically regarding the US dollar’s various forms (USDC, USDT, etc), Italy’s economic minister joined the growing chorus of EU voices warning of the digital dollar’s thread to the Euro. China and Russia have echoed those same concerns for their own national currencies, signifying the role of stablecoins expanding from crypto-only circles to global politics, trade, and power dynamics.
