![]() ![]() Particularly since the technology could have value to Rakuten ( *Investor Klaxon*) and Samsung ( *Partner Klaxon*), but both ESTmob and Rakuten Ventures are adamant that there is a business to be built here. I like the Send Anywhere service which, coupled by the fact that it isn’t making money yet, makes me somewhat wary that it might go the same way as similar services like Bump, which was acquired by Google in 2013 and promptly shut down months later. Like the Samsung partnership, Send Anywhere’s API could be opened to partners who then pay for usage. Samsung is the first company to be granted access to the Send Anywhere API, which is powering a new service for its printer business that allows enterprise customers to send scans to a device direct from their printer. One more subtle area where it may monetize is around its API. Then, he added, it may consider monetization via advertising, although nothing is set in stone at this point. Kang emphasized that the company isn’t likely to begin making money from its product until it reaches a milestone like 10 million monthly users. We want to make our core technology stronger and will work on finding the optimal transfer path between devices,” Kang said, adding that the service is faster than competing offerings. “We will heavily focus on hiring new engineers. The Series A money will be spent on new marketing campaigns, developing the Send Anywhere technology, and growing the company’s current headcount of 16. (19 percent), Japan (9 percent), India (6 percent) and the U.K. Korea is the company’s largest market for usage (26 percent), followed by the U.S. Photos are, perhaps unsurprisingly, the most transferred file format on the service, accounting for 43 percent of exchanges ahead of videos. Kang told TechCrunch that the service surpassed 1.5 million monthly active devices (both send and receive) last month, and 5 million app downloads to date across all platforms. That, Kang explained, means the file isn’t stored on Send Anywhere’s server - which is interesting to note given past security concerns around NSA access to services like Dropbox. Interestingly, too, there is no cap on the size of files being transferred while you don’t need an account to get started, although getting one provides access to past history and other features. Take too long and the download won’t be completed, plus the file-share itself is passcode/QR locked, meaning the sender needs to provide the recipient with a code to enable the download.įinally, the service is peer-to-peer so it requires both parties to be online during the transfer, but there is a 24-hour ‘upload and share’ option which provides a little more flexibility. Rather than usual file-sharing, Send Anywhere takes a security conscious route by offering a 10-minute download time. ![]() A new and improved 3.0 version, including an pause/resume feature, has landed on Android, and is rolling out to other platforms from next month. ![]() The service is available via a web interface, Chrome extension, WordPress plug-in and the usual array of mobile and desktop apps, including iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. Indeed, to this point, Send Anywhere has not monetized its product. “Plus, Saemin wants to focus more on growth rather than monetization.” “We’ve considered other parties, but more investors can make it more complicated,” Estmob co-founder Suhyuk Kang told TechCrunch in an interview. But that’s not the case for Send Anywhere. Many companies look to maximize their network and bring more minds onboard at this point, while, in Asia, it is even more common for investors to group together at this stage. It’s fairly rare to see a single investor front a Series A round. Rakuten Ventures led Send Anywhere’s seed round two years ago, which including participation from a number of angel investors. The four-year-old company raised a $1 million seed round back in 2014 and this Series A was provided by in full by Rakuten Ventures, the VC firm and global fund associated with Japan’s top e-commerce firm. Send Anywhere, a free peer-to-peer file sharing system, is getting a power boost of its own after ESTmob, the Korea-based company behind the service, landed $6 million in fresh funding. ![]()

Now that the words ‘combat patrol’ have lost all meaning. Each combat patrol box is a self-contained…combat patrol that you use to play…combat patrol with.While it uses the same core rules as 40K (the sole difference is that Battleline units make objectives sticky, which makes sense considering how there’s less units total), each combat patrol has its own special datasheets, secondary objectives, enhancements and stratagems.It has custom missions, tailored for combat patrol.It’s played on a slightly smaller map (two Kill Team boards smushed together).GW have announced their plan with Combat Patrols, which I’ll go over really quickly: If this happens, then the weapon is -1 to hit and the target gains Benefit of Cover against the attack.Ĭonversion has also been given a keyword, in the example we’ve seen, if a target is chosen more than 12” away, a successful hit of 4+ inflicts a Critical Hit. Indirect Fire makes a reappearance, allowing a weapon with this keyword to target units or models that the bearer cannot see. ![]() It’s essentially the Malefic keyword, but turned universal, but it’s also way more elegant than “each time the bearer fights it can make X additional attacks”. This USR allows a weapon to make attacks, in addition to the weapon chosen by the bearer to attack with. Weapon RulesĮxtra Attacks is one of the new rules shown off and helps to solve the issue of mounts in close combat, or some guy with a bajillion weapons. So there’s no using them to cap objectives, or have stratagems used on them. Interestingly though, it’s been stated that you need an OC of at least 1 to control an objective (since an OC of 0 is ‘nothing’), so a squad that has failed Battle-shock can’t take a completely uncontested objective.Ī major change we’ve seen, albeit buried in the footnotes of a faction update, is that units forced to disembark a transport when it explodes are affected by Battle-shock. However, we’ve seen quite a few special rules that factions have through stratagems or unit abilities that can make an objective sticky. Also it looks near certain that the game won’t be moving to universally ‘sticky’ objectives (an objective that remains under your control even after you move away from it, at least until an opponent takes control of it). ![]() ![]() ![]() Why I like it: Their website’s Staff Picks section offers recommendations so you can read along with the team.ĭetails: Maplewood’s boasts a robust calendar of author events, frequently featuring bestsellers like Anne Lamott and David Levithan.
