Claimer, una startup con sede en Londres que facilita a las empresas reclamar créditos fiscales de I + D en el Reino Unido, ha recaudado £ 300,000 en fondos iniciales.
Ben Holmes (que anteriormente estaba en Index Ventures), Nick Telson y Andrew Webster (los fundadores de DesignMyNight, que recientemente salieron), Rupert Loman (fundador de Gamer Network) y TrueSight Ventures respaldan a la compañía que ya genera ingresos.
Fundada por Adam McCann en enero de 2018 y luego lanzada en abril de 2019, Claimer simplifica el proceso de reclamar créditos fiscales para I + D, que es un subsidio del gobierno del Reino Unido popular entre las nuevas empresas de tecnología que está diseñado para fomentar la innovación. La startup afirma que su producto es aproximadamente 10 veces más rápido y hasta 6 veces más barato que usar un asesor fiscal.
“Claimer está arreglando el espacio de desgravación fiscal de I + D con tecnología”, me dice McCann. “Si no está familiarizado con el esquema, está administrado por HMRC y permite a las empresas del Reino Unido reclamar hasta el 33% de sus costos de investigación y desarrollo como pago en efectivo en cualquier industria, como el desarrollo de software y hardware, fabricación, textiles , biotecnología, foodtech y muchos otros.
“La mayoría de los contadores no tienen la experiencia interna para procesar reclamos, por lo que remiten a los clientes a especialistas en impuestos de I + D. Para muchas empresas, el proceso es lento, costoso y frustrante, porque estos especialistas cobran tarifas muy altas, que a menudo tardan semanas en procesar las reclamaciones ”.
En contraste, McCann dice que la plataforma de Claimer facilita a las empresas completar de manera confiable sus reclamos de alivio de I + D sin ningún conocimiento fiscal previo. Después de cargar un reclamo en la plataforma, que incluye la capacidad de extraer números de su software de contabilidad, los especialistas en impuestos internos de Claimer lo verifican y optimizan antes de enviarlo a HMRC.
“Hemos procesado reclamos que van desde £ 1,000 hasta más de £ 2 millones con una tasa de éxito del 100% (es decir, sin rechazos ni reducciones). Nuestros clientes también nos han otorgado 5 estrellas en TrustPilot ”, agrega.
Con ese fin, el éxito de Claimer está alineado con el de sus clientes. La startup cobra una tarifa del 5% o menos del ahorro / crédito recibido en créditos fiscales de I + D, limitado a £ 10,000. McCann dice que esto es mucho menos que el típico 20-30% sin límite que generalmente cobran los especialistas, “a menudo con términos indeseables como contratos de bloqueo de varios años, costos ocultos y grandes tarifas mínimas”.
Mientras tanto, Claimer planea usar la financiación inicial para hacer crecer su equipo de ingeniería y construir la versión dos del producto, que McCann dice que utilizará datos abiertos y aprendizaje automático, lo que hace posible que las reclamaciones se creen automáticamente.
“Y sí, reclamaremos créditos fiscales de I + D para desarrollar nuestra plataforma de créditos fiscales de I + D”, bromea el fundador de Claimer.

Vive con el Dr. Anthony Fauci, el principal experto en enfermedades infecciosas de EE. UU., Para conocer lo que todos podemos hacer para combatir la propagación del coronavirus (COVID-19).
La conversación es parte del impulso reciente de Facebook para poner información COVID-19 de las autoridades sanitarias establecidas al frente y en el centro en la plataforma en un esfuerzo por obtener buena información en manos de los usuarios mientras se mitiga la información errónea potencialmente peligrosa que podría empeorar los resultados a medida que el nuevo coronavirus se propaga por todo el mundo.

Instagram finalmente se está preparando para copiar la característica más popular de Snapchat, y una de las pocas que aún no ha clonado. Instagram ha creado un prototipo de una función de mensajería de texto efímera inédita que borra el hilo del chat cada vez que la abandonas, confirma un vocero de Facebook a TechCrunch. Eso podría hacer que los usuarios se sientan más cómodos con chats rápidos, tontos, vulnerables o arriesgados, lo que aumenta las notificaciones de respuesta que mantienen a las personas abriendo Instagram todo el día.

Instagram ya tiene mensajes de foto y video que desaparecen y lanzado en febrero de 2018 para permitir a los usuarios elegir si los socios de chat pueden "ver una vez", "permitir la reproducción" varias veces durante un período limitado o "mantener el chat" permanentemente. Técnicamente, podría usar el modo Crear para superponer palabras sobre un fondo de color para enviar un texto efímero, pero de lo contrario debe usar la función "Enviar" que notifica a otras personas en el hilo.

Pero hoy, el especialista en ingeniería inversa y el tipster favorito de TechCrunch Jane Manchun Wong desenterró algo nuevo. Enterrado en el código de la aplicación de Android está el nuevo modo " ud83d ude4a", etiquetado en el código con el emoji de mono "no hables mal".

Cómo funcionan los mensajes que desaparecen de Instagram
norte
Cuando los usuarios ingresan a este modo deslizando hacia arriba desde el hilo de mensajes de Instagram Direct, son llevados a una ventana de mensajes en modo oscuro que comienza como un hilo de mensajes vacío. Cuando los usuarios cierran esta ventana, cualquier mensaje de ellos o de sus compañeros de chat desaparece. U00a0 La función funciona de manera similar a Snapchat, que borra un chat después de que todos los miembros de un hilo lo hayan visto y cerrado la ventana de chat.

Así es como funcionan los mensajes de desaparición de Instagram

La función de mensajería efímera actualmente no está disponible públicamente, pero Facebook El portavoz me confirma que están trabajando en ello internamente. "Siempre estamos explorando nuevas funciones para mejorar su experiencia de mensajería. Esta característica todavía está en desarrollo temprano y no se está probando externamente ". La empresa después tuiteó la confirmación. No dieron ninguna indicación de una línea de tiempo para si o cuándo podría lanzarse oficialmente. Algunas características nunca salen de la fase de prototipo, pero otras, incluidas muchas vistas por Wong, terminan siendo implementadas varios meses después.

Instagram ha tenido un gran éxito al usar Snapchat como laboratorio de investigación y desarrollo de productos. La versión de Instagram de Stories se disparó a 500 millones de usuarios diarios en comparación con solo 218 millones de usuarios en Snapchat en general.

Pero la mensajería efímera ha mantenido a Snapchat relevante. A fines de 2017, solo 51 millones de los 178 millones de usuarios de Snapchat publicaban historias por día, y fue cuando Instagram Stories todavía estaba en su primer año en el mercado. De acuerdo a Statista, El principal caso de uso de Snapchat es mantenerse en contacto con amigos y familiares, no entretenimiento.

Las Historias de Instagram hicieron que Snapchat comenzara a reducirse en un punto, pero ahora está creciendo de manera saludable nuevamente. Eso puede indicar que Instagram todavía tenía más trabajo que hacer para robar el trueno de Snap. Pero La versión existente de Instagram de mensajes efímeros que es más complicada, Facebook descartó una prueba de una característica similar, y La toma de WhatsApp que comenzó a probar en octubre aún no se ha implementado.

Eso ha dejado a los adolescentes seguir con Snapchat para una comunicación rápida, no tienen que preocuparse por volver a perseguirlos. Si Instagram también copia con éxito esta función, podría reducir la necesidad de que las personas permanezcan en Snapchat mientras hace que Instagram Direct sea más atractivo para un público crítico. Cada respuesta y alerta posterior atrae a los usuarios más profundamente en la web de Facebook.

Instagram finalmente se está preparando para copiar la característica más popular de Snapchat, y una de las pocas que aún no ha clonado. Instagram ha creado un prototipo de una función de mensajería de texto efímera inédita que borra el hilo del chat cada vez que la abandonas, confirma un vocero de Facebook a TechCrunch. Eso podría hacer que los usuarios se sientan más cómodos con disparos rápidos, tontos, vulnerables o […]

los Comisión Europea está presionando Netflix y otras plataformas de transmisión para cambiar a la definición estándar durante los períodos de mayor demanda, ya que la crisis del coronavirus impone una carga sin precedentes en la infraestructura de Internet.
norte
A través de Unión Europea - una región con alrededor de 445 millones de ciudadanos - u00a0 es probable que muchos millones de trabajadores de oficina cambien al teletrabajo, ya que los países imponen medidas de cuarentena e instruyen a las personas a trabajar desde casa siempre que sea posible. La propia Comisión Europea, que emplea a alrededor de 32,000 personas, u00a0movió a todo el personal no crítico al trabajo remoto Al comienzo de esta semana.
norte
Ayer, Thierry Breton, comisionado para el mercado interno de la UE y también ex CEO de France Telecom, tuiteó que había hablado con el CEO de Netflix Reed Hastings para defender la transmisión de definición estándar por defecto durante la crisis de salud pública de COVID-19.
Un portavoz de Breton nos dijo que la Comisión está invitando a las plataformas de transmisión a seguir el ejemplo de los proveedores de telecomunicaciones y considerar adaptar el rendimiento de la transmisión de video, como pasar temporalmente a la transmisión SD en lugar de HD, al menos para las horas de trabajo más críticas.
norte
En la llamada de Breton con Netflix, se discutieron una serie de posibles medidas, según el portavoz, incluido un cambio automático a la definición estándar durante los picos de las actividades de Internet en geografías impactadas, que según la Comisión representa una "opción responsable", que ayudará a asegurar las infraestructuras de telecomunicaciones mientras "sigue ofreciendo el mejor servicio a usuarios y consumidores, sin interrupciones".
norte
Añadió que muchos proveedores de contenido y aplicaciones ya están aplicando este tipo de medida de flexibilidad.
norte
La Comisión también está pidiendo a los operadores de telecomunicaciones que brindan servicios de Internet que tomen medidas para prevenir y mitigar los impactos de la inminente congestión de la red, invitándolos a hacer uso de las "posibilidades" ofrecidas por Reglas de neutralidad de la red de la UE.
norte
A principios de esta semana Vodafone informó un aumento del 50% en el tráfico de Internet en algunos países europeos debido a que decenas de personas iniciaron sesión desde su casa. u201cCovid-19 ya está teniendo un impacto significativo en nuestros servicios y colocando una mayor demanda en nuestra red, u201d dijo la compañía en un comunicado, agregando que: u201cDeberíamos esperar que esta tendencia de crecimiento de datos continúe ".
norte
Al mismo tiempo, la Comisión pide a los usuarios de Internet en la región que hagan un uso responsable de las actividades recreativas en línea, como optar por configuraciones que reducen el consumo de datos, incluido el uso de Wi-Fi (en lugar de datos móviles) y elegir una resolución más baja para contenido siempre que sea posible.
norte
Quiere una acción conjunta de todas las partes interesadas para aliviar la presión sobre la infraestructura y facilitar el trabajo remoto y la educación en línea en un momento de crisis de salud pública en toda la región.
norte
En un comunicado, Breton agregó: u201c Europa y el mundo entero se enfrentan a una situación sin precedentes. Los gobiernos han tomado medidas para reducir las interacciones sociales para contener la propagación de Covid-19 y alentar el trabajo remoto y la educación en línea. Plataformas de transmisión, operadores de telecomunicaciones y usuarios, todos tenemos la responsabilidad conjunta de tomar medidas para garantizar el buen funcionamiento de Internet durante la batalla contra la propagación del virus ".
norte
No está claro exactamente qué margen de maniobra prevé la Comisión en las normas de neutralidad de la red de la UE para priorizar ciertos tipos de tráfico sobre otros durante la crisis del coronavirus.
norte
Le pedimos al portavoz de Breton que aclarara este punto, pero respondió enfatizando que la Comisión espera evitar ese escenario, y nos dijo: “Al pedir responsabilidad a todos los interesados u2019 (plataformas / telcos / usuarios) somos proactivos garantizar el buen funcionamiento de Internet para que no sea necesario plantear la cuestión de la priorización ".
norte
También nos comunicamos con Netflix para preguntar qué pasos está tomando para ayudar a administrar la demanda de ancho de banda en la región. Al momento de escribir esto, la compañía no había respondido.
norte
El portavoz de Breton dijo que el comisionado debe realizar una llamada de seguimiento con Hastings en los próximos días.
norte
En términos más generales, la Comisión está trabajando en la creación de un mecanismo de información para garantizar un seguimiento regular de la situación del tráfico de Internet en cada Estado miembro a fin de poder responder rápidamente a los problemas de capacidad, en contacto con el Cuerpo de Reguladores Europeos de Comunicaciones Electrónicas y con el apoyo de las autoridades reguladoras nacionales.
norte
También nos hemos puesto en contacto con YouTube para comentar sobre el llamado de la Comisión a la acción proactiva de las plataformas de transmisión para ayudar a gestionar una mayor demanda en la infraestructura de Internet.

Luego, examinamos la salud financiera de la compañía y analizamos el clima competitivo, la comunidad de inversión y la dirección en la que la industria tecnológica parecía estar dirigida. Ha llegado el momento de compartir cómo esto influyó en nuestras decisiones.

A finales de 2019, muchas personas inteligentes comenzaron a notar un cambio filosófico que tenía lugar en los mercados de capitales. Los inversores habían comenzado a perder la paciencia con las nuevas empresas que gastaron sumas masivas en adquirir participación de mercado, pero habían demostrado poca o ninguna capacidad para crear negocios duraderos.
n
Llegamos a la conclusión de que la financiación en algunos sectores se agotaría rápidamente. Según nuestro análisis, esperamos que un número creciente de nuevas empresas se vean obligadas a crear nichos de negocios autosuficientes para sobrevivir. Esta evaluación es en parte lo que nos llevó a concluir que aceptar otra ronda de financiamiento no necesariamente beneficiaría a la compañía en el área que más importa: proporcionar valor a los clientes.

Se llegó a un consenso después de que tomamos el control, y encontramos un ritmo constante de facturas entrantes y salientes, en particular a Amazon (Servicios web), Google (para ayudar a extender nuestra marca), Facebook (para llegar a los clientes) y para nuestro espacio de oficina . Estos costos estaban creciendo más rápido que los ingresos.

Como los organizadores cancelan events with massive attendance, like SXSW (400,000 attendees), E3 (66,000), GDC (65,000) and Congreso Mundial de Telefonía Móvil (100,000), mobile game developers have felt the crunch. At a show like SXSW, larger developers can spend more than $135,000 just to secure some real estate.
n
A pesar del alto costo, si eres un desarrollador, estos eventos pueden ser valiosos para generar conciencia, comentarios y descargas de clientes. Los comentarios en tiempo real de los asistentes, la capacidad de inscribir a los usuarios para las campañas beta, las oportunidades para impulsar el marketing por correo electrónico posterior y el prestigio de tener su aplicación en vivo al lado de juegos producidos por estudios más grandes son cualidades únicas.
n
Aún no está claro si los desarrolladores que hicieron inversiones recuperarán los costos, como los de promoción en el sitio, publicidad impresa, personal para los puestos y reservas en restaurantes. Igualmente, si no es más importante, es la capa adicional de costo de oportunidad para los desarrolladores, especialmente aquellos que buscaron usar estos eventos para lanzar algo nuevo.
n
¿Qué tan importantes son los momentos de lanzamiento para los desarrolladores de juegos? Durante la Game Developers Conference 2019, se anunció un nuevo puerto de Cuphead para Nintendo Switch. Per Google Trends, web searches for the game reached their second-highest point of the year during the event (March 20th), only behind search volume of the gameu2019s release a month later, in April 2019.
n
Los grandes desarrolladores pueden salir ilesos de la cancelación de una feria comercial y simplemente patear el momento del lanzamiento para su próximo gran evento de campaña. But for smaller app or game developers that canu2019t wait another six months for their launch moment, they need to do something.

Aquí hay cinco formas de salvar un lanzamiento perdido debido a la cancelación de una feria comercial.

Hello and welcome back to our regular morning look at private companies, public markets and the gray space in between.
n
Hoy estamos analizando el mundo de la inversión de capital riesgo de los deportes electrónicos, en gran medida a través de la lente de preliminar datos que vamos a advertir dada la forma en que los datos de VC reportados retrasan la realidad Es probable que ese fenómeno sea doblemente cierto en el momento actual, ya que COVID-19 absorbe todos los ciclos de noticias y algunos anuncios de rondas de riesgo son retrasado incluso más de lo habitual.
n
De todos modos, los datos que tenemos pintan una imagen de un cambio en la inversión de riesgo de esports, uno de tamaño suficiente para indicar que una desaceleración de VC de eSports podría estar en marcha. Como con todas las primeras apariencias, nos estamos extendiendo para llegar a una conclusión. Pero ... sin riesgo, sin recompensa.
n
Comenzaremos observando los totales de la empresa de esports del primer trimestre de 2020 hasta la fecha, comparándolos con los resultados del año anterior, y luego echaremos un vistazo a los resultados del cuarto trimestre de 2019 y su comparación del año anterior para saber qué más ha sucedido últimamente en el nicho. La imagen que dibujan los trimestres nos ayudará a comprender cómo la inversión en deportes electrónicos está comenzando un año que no está yendo como todos esperaban.

Todos saben eso press features donu2019t drive sustainable traffic. Pero siguen siendo importantes por una simple razón: las ventas requieren confianza. La confianza es transitiva. Y la prensa es de confianza.
n
Press features validate the legitimacy of a company, lend it authority, and ultimately lead others to trust it more.
n
Iu2019ve seen this first hand, having gone from being an unknown outsider to becoming the most popular expert in the world in my space u2014 contributing articles to 14 publications and driving more than 37,000 prospective customers per month to my blog.
n
In this article, youu2019ll learn the steps I took over the last year to go from being unknown to expert, and how this strategy has helped me open doors and close deals. Todo a partir de esta estrategia simple que usé para construir mi propia autoridad en la industria y aprovechar la prensa en la que la gente confiaba para construir autoridad y construir SEO.
n
Inicialmente descubrí esta estrategia por frustración. The businesses that I was selling to didnu2019t trust me because I was an outsider. I didnu2019t have credibility in my industry. I didnu2019t have status symbols people associate with trustworthiness.
n
De hecho, tuve lo contrario. Dejé la escuela secundaria en el décimo grado. Nunca fui a la universidad. Nunca había trabajado para una gran empresa. Y nuestros clientes en los primeros días eran algunos pequeños independientes. So people didnu2019t trust me enough to trust that my technology would work for them. Iu2019d often be denied sales opportunities as a result.
n
La pregunta era, ¿cómo podría cambiar eso y ser confiable antes de que comience el proceso de ventas? Porque eso, sospechaba, era cómo podría comenzar a cerrar más negocios. Esta estrategia fue mi solución a esas frustraciones repetidas y desde entonces ha llevado a acuerdos con marcas de miles de millones de dólares y pequeñas marcas por igual. Incluso impresionó a las personas que terminaron respaldando mi empresa.

Claimer, a London-based startup that makes it easy for companies to claim R&D tax credits in the U.K., has raised u00a3300,000 in seed funding.
n
Backing the already revenue-generating company is Ben Holmes (who was previously at Index Ventures), Nick Telson and Andrew Webster (the founders of DesignMyNight, which recently exited), Rupert Loman (founder of Gamer Network), and TrueSight Ventures.
n
Founded by Adam McCann in January 2018 and then launched in April 2019, Claimer streamlines the process of claiming R&D tax credits, which is a U.K. government subsidy popular with tech startups that is designed to encourage innovation. The startup claims its product is approximately 10x faster and up to 6x cheaper than using a tax consultant.
n
“Claimer is fixing the R&D tax relief space with tech,” McCann tells me. “If you’re not familiar with the scheme, itu2019s run by HMRC and allows U.K. businesses to claim back up to 33% of their research & development costs as a cash payment in any industry, such as software and hardware development, manufacturing, textiles, biotechnology, foodtech, and many others.
n
“Most accountants don’t have the in-house expertise to process claims, so they refer clients to R&D tax specialists. For many companies, the process is slow, expensive, and frustrating, because these specialists charge very high fees, often taking weeks to process claims”.
n
In contrast, McCann says Claimeru2019s platform makes it easy for businesses to reliably complete their R&D relief claims without any prior tax knowledge. After you upload a claim to the platform — which includes the ability to pull numbers from your accounting software — Claimer’s in-house tax specialists check and optimise it before it is submitted to HMRC.
n
“We’ve processed claims ranging from u00a31,000 to over u00a32 million with a 100% success rate (i.e. no rejections or reductions). Our customers have also awarded us 5 stars on TrustPilot,” he adds.
n
To that end, Claimer’s success is aligned with that of its customers. The startup charges a fee of 5% or less of the saving/credit received in R&D tax credits, capped to u00a310,000. McCann says this is much less than the typical uncapped 20-30% usually charged by specialists, “often with undesirable terms such as multi-year lock-in contracts, hidden costs, and large minimum fees”.
n
Meanwhile, Claimer plans to use the seed funding to grow its engineering team and build version two of the product, which McCann says will utilise open data and machine learning, making it possible for claims to be created automatically.
n
“And yes, we’ll be claiming R&D tax credits for developing our R&D tax credits platform,” quips the Claimer founder.
