LettsGroup NewsFlash - February 2025

February NewsFlash from LettsGroup and its Ventures.

LettsGroup HQ

In February LettsGroup launched its new V3 website designs, as well as further extending its AI VentureFactory capabilities. The team added the Startup Lite plan for pre-Seed and Seed stage ventures and those looking to start their VentureFactory journey. It is a streamlined, go-to-market focused offering. Now all 3 non-Enterprise plans can be purchased online. The team has also been working on a new 'Agents' Dashboard organised by function for release in March, as well as a bundle of pre-built 'Go To Market' auto-processes. The first being an AI-driven pre-Seed and Seed Business Plan process. Work has also started on an AI powered business plan-to-investor-deck system using Innov@te + Advanced-Reasoning-AI with the goal of reducing the lapsed time to build quality, investor-ready business plans and decks from 6 months to just 6 days.

LettsCore

LettsCore's final pre-beta release work continued with the integration of Stripe's payments platform, plus dedicated billing wallets for each registered user on LettsCore - managed centrally. This enables individuals and organisations to purchase subscription plans and top-ups to access the media blockchain and its API's. And it provides the infrastructure to manage subscription payments, including automated transfers for Solana credits used to add, update and amend content in LettsCore. This is the last pre-launch work, enabling users to effectively operate and monetise content atoms in our next generation distributed content management platform. To support this final work, the team also built an admin dashboard for internal users to oversee customers and payment flows. LettsCore's SaaS portal and full payments stack will have gone through final development and testing by the end of Q1 2025, ready for market launch in Q2. This nearly 3 year R&D project is coming to fruition. We believe it will be worth the wait.

LettsNews

Since launching in beta last month, LettsNews has evolved nicely based on user feedback. The team added and extended 'hints' and a guide system to help newcomers navigate features, while also developing an exciting new 'Promotion' tool that will let users share auto-distributed stories directly to their social media channels. This 'newsroom tech for everyone' is seeing good early adoption from both small businesses and independent journalists. Also, its mobile apps have been updated for faster speeds with better sync performance, quicker loading times, and a new "Offline Mode" for journalists on remote field work. The tech team is targeting finalising the "Promotion" feature and preparing its mobile apps for full release in the Apple and Google Play stores at the end of Q1.

LettsArt

LettsArt had an impressive acceleration in users and online galleries started with most of its key numbers doubling in the last 2 weeks. As we head towards 1,000 online art galleries powered by LettsArt, the team can start to look toward the future - developing LettsArt 2.5, and targeting advanced users including professional studios, independent gallerists and leading curators. This no-code AI platform helping sell art online better operates highly efficiently, to date comfortably supporting its rapid growth in artists, art collectors and gallery users without significant effort on support or patches. In February LettsArt also updated back end LLM's for more advanced AI reasoning to auto-generate curator quality artwork descriptions and art posts.
