What if I told you that you make up to 35,000 decisions a day? This number may seem too high, but we cannot deny that we face an endless flow of findings when we crawl out of bed in the morning. All this never-ending stream of decisions throughout the day often results in people feeling exhausted by the end of the day. That is why our startup team decided to take over the routine so you can have more creative power for self-growth and development. We aim to make people's lives more comfortable and help them by releasing creative energy. 

IXORD - a multi-platform that makes people happier

The Crunchbase Unicorn Board welcomed ten fresh faces in May 2023, doubling April's count, yet trailing behind May 2022's substantial total of 34. These new unicorns were unveiled in an investment climate where leading unicorn investor, [Tiger Global](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tiger-global), contemplates offloading its private company stakes as unicorn portfolio evaluations continue to be revised downwards.

![](img/знімок-екрана-2023-06-18-о-20.05.57.png)

Of the ten additions, nine different industries are represented with AI claiming two spots at the top. The remaining unicorns each represent a distinct sector, including energy, biotech, robotics, enterprise SaaS, and transportation.

Half of the new unicorns originated from the U.S., with two emerging from China, while Canada, Indonesia, and Japan each contributed one. The month of May saw $5 billion of the total $22 billion global venture funding allocated to these unicorn companies, which is less than half of the $11 billion acquired by unicorns in May 2022. 

![](img/знімок-екрана-2023-06-18-о-20.06.14.png)

The biggest funding for the month was secured by [Shein](https://www.sheincorp.cn/), a fast-fashion e-commerce platform, raising $2 billion in one round at a decreased valuation of $66 billion.

***Here are the newcomers:***

## AI 

Toronto's [Cohere](cohere.com), an AI-based large language model creator for enterprises, raised $270 million in its Series C funding round, led by [Inovia Capital](https://www.inovia.vc/). This has valued the 4-year-old company at $2.2 billion. 

New York's [Runway](https://runwayml.com/), an AI firm specializing in generative video, secured $100 million in a Series D round led by [Google](https://thecymes.com/article/googles-bard-chatbot-made-a-factual-error-during-its-first-demo-the-mistake-cost-the-company-100-billion), achieving a valuation of $1.5 billion.

Another notable AI startup that warrants attention is IDvizer, a facial recognition technology provider striving to revolutionize business security solutions. Their latest offering, IDvizer's Fastest Face ID, is a B2B identity recognition platform that verifies end-users in less than a second, irrespective of the device in use. This product has made waves in the AI industry for its innovative approach to security and its ability to deliver unique user experiences across various fields.

## Transportation 

GO, Tokyo's premier ride-hailing app, secured $72 million in a Series D round led by Goldman Sachs, which valued the company at $1 billion.

## Robotics 

Zhiyuan Robotics, a Shanghai-based humanoid robot developer, raised a funding round led by Baidu Capital, achieving a $1 billion valuation. The exact amount raised remains undisclosed.

## Biotech 

Chicago's VectorBuilder, a firm specializing in gene delivery technology, completed a funding round that saw the company reach a valuation of $1 billion.

Correction: Cohere's funding round has been updated to $270 million and its valuation to $2.2 billion based on an updated funding announcement.

[The Crunchbase Unicorn Board](https://www.crunchbase.com/lists/exited-unicorns/9436a996-90a9-40bc-91c0-a7d239de07f1/organization.companies) is a curated list of privately-held unicorn companies valued at $1 billion or more, based on Crunchbase data. Additions are made as companies hit the $1 billion mark during funding rounds. Internal company valuations are not reflected, as these often differ and are usually lower than a priced funding round. Adjustments are not made for investor writedowns, which vary quarterly, as different investors may not consistently value the same company within the same quarter.

Please note that all funding values are in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise. Foreign currency transactions are converted at the historic spot price even if they were added to Crunchbase long after the event was announced.

## The idea of Module 

Our project was started in Ukraine during the covid times in 2021. There is no denying the devastating impact that COVID had on the worldwide economy, as well as on the lives of every single person. The statistics show that 88% of mobile time is spent on apps. Everywhere we go, we use our phones, from work to home to the street, while eating to sleeping. It's possible that you're reading this from a mobile device right now, isn't it? 

> What if you made your own app that combined lots of services, platforms, and apps? Share videos and funny pictures, chat, invite people to special events, blog, share videos, discuss your current news and use a to-do list for everyday life.

There are plenty of platforms that let businesses build apps without any coding experience. What makes Module so special? We designed our product specifically for beginners who have no prior experience with technology or don't feel confident creating a mobile app on their own. This is a very simple and powerful solution that will come to you in a natural way, like you've hired a team of professional developers to create it for you. As a result, you'll get a real native professional app, and the process is so much fun that it feels like playing a game.

Keeping people's success in mind, we offer businesses the opportunity to build customized applications to boost their sales, as well as individuals the opportunity to create apps for communicating within their families or communities. With a wide range of options, an app can become powerful and profitable.

## Apps and Persuasive Statistics

Mobile apps are considered among [the most powerful tools](https://www.statista.com/topics/1002/mobile-app-usage/#topicHeader__wrapperf) for reaching target audiences from a business point of view.

No matter where you live in the world, the Covid-19 has impacted everyone's life and caused the economy to collapse. Despite lockdown forcing people to stay at home and close down businesses, the mobile app development industry is growing at an impressive rate.

In order to better understand how the mobile app industry fared during the Covid-19, let's look at the following stats and facts: 

* According to  [(Statista)](https://www.statista.com/statistics/330695/number-of-smartphone-users-worldwide/) there are over 6 billion smartphone users in the world, and the number is expected to grow by hundreds of millions in the coming years. On average, people spend 171 minutes a day on smartphones, which is 2 hours and 51 minutes a day. 
* App downloads have increased 63% from 2016 to 2022, with an 11% increase from 2021 to 2022.
* The [Appannie forecast](https://www.data.ai/en/insights/market-data/app-annie-2017-2022-forecast/) projects consumer spending in apps stores to pass the $100 billion mark in 2018, and to reach $156.5 billion by 2022.

It is expected that the mobile app industry will continue to grow in the coming years as more and more people use their phones for everything from business cases to entertainment.

Myths about NO Code solutions

It seems like everyone is now talking about no-code solutions, so I am sure you have already heard about it or have even used it. Some people claim that No-Code platforms are the best choice for building only simple apps and solutions. But is that true?

#### 1. The No Code platform is not suitable for everyone (false)

In other words, users will need some technical skills or coding abilities in order to use the platform.

In reality, anyone can create applications on no-code platforms without any technical knowledge. A no-code platform offers visual tools for dragging and dropping modules and application components, such as checklists, drop down boxes, lists, navigation panels, etc.

#### 2. The capabilities of No Code platforms are limited (false)

Using a no-code platform, you can create and modify applications using a wide range of tools. Now it is possible for businesses to build their own solutions to meet their needs, which are suitable for both startups and established companies.

#### 3. No code platform is not secure (false)

To create business applications, no-code platforms have enterprise-grade security with all the necessary security certifications. Be sure that security is top of the high priority for Module.
