Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you provide additional detail on the Liverpool deal and the role of GroupBy and Google in that process?
A: Daniel Wagner, CEO: We are thrilled about our deal with Liverpool, Mexico's premier department store chain. This multi-year deal delivers nearly $10 million annually, exceeding our previous estimates. Liverpool, a former GroupBy customer, was upsold to our Brain commerce product, developed in collaboration with Google.

Q: Can you elaborate on the progress in the sales pipeline and the contribution of partnerships with Microsoft and Google?
A: Daniel Wagner, CEO: We are seeing traction across direct sales, partnerships, and acquisitions. Our partnerships with Microsoft and Google have increased the number and size of potential enterprise customers. The Liverpool deal, for example, is ten times our initial revenue estimate per customer.

Q: How are Microsoft and Google marketing Rezolve to potential enterprise customers, and what does the sales cycle look like?
A: Daniel Wagner, CEO: Microsoft and Google offer incentives for their customers to use committed funds to buy Rezolve, enhancing the stickiness of their services. The sales cycle varies, but both partners incentivize their sales teams to promote Rezolve as part of their offerings.

Q: What are your target criteria for M&A opportunities, and how do you approach funding these transactions?
A: Daniel Wagner, CEO: Targets must fit our model and be additive to our proposition. We prefer equity over cash for acquisitions, as seen with the GroupBy acquisition, which was completed using equity at a favorable price.

Q: What factors underpin Rezolve's competitive advantage with its proprietary LLM compared to other AI solutions?
