LOS ANGELES, January 11, 2023 — Blaze.tech, the smarter no-code platform that’s revolutionizing the way teams build web apps and tools, announced its official launch and has raised a $3.5 million pre-seed round led by Flybridge Capital and MaC Venture Capital. The round also included participation from investors and unicorn founders in enterprise SaaS including Vlad Magdalin (CEO, Webflow), Mada Seghete (Co-founder, Branch), Mark Schopmeyer (Co-CEO, CaptivateIQ), ACTAI Ventures, Sangha Capital, and Bill Tai. This funding round will accelerate Blaze’s growing customer base, increase the platforms’ integrations, and expand its AI capabilities. 

Today’s public launch follows a successful beta phase in which Fortune 500 companies and startups used Blaze to build dashboards, HIPAA compliant apps, complex workflows, automated invoice generators, and inventory management systems all without writing any code. Because of Blaze’s emphasis on security and its robust suite of enterprise security features, the company has found popularity with organizations in highly regulated industries like healthcare, legal, construction, transportation and logistics, and finance.

With Blaze’s AI-powered no-code platform, teams are able to create and launch highly custom and secure applications and internal tools in minutes. Blaze gives non-technical people the superpower to be entrepreneurial product builders with an intuitive all-in-one drag-and-drop interface and AI system. Blaze AI is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-3 model, the same one used by ChatGPT. App creators can tell Blaze AI to create complex workflows, automatic triggers, custom filters, advanced calculations, and more.

Blaze improves operations and productivity, and with pre-built integrations into Airtable, DocuSign, Freshdesk, Google Sheets, Salesforce, Stripe, Shopify, and many more tools, users can build multiple apps on top of their existing tech stack.

The no-code/low-code market is one of the fastest growing markets (from $25 Billion to $187 Billion in 2030), and Blaze’s unique positioning is enabling teams to build software with complexity, customizability, and security that otherwise would require writing code.

“We’re so excited to maximize the talents of people inside organizations by giving them the ability to solve business problems with software,” said Nanxi Liu, Co-CEO of Blaze. “We’re seeing individuals supercharge and significantly increase the efficiency of their team’s operations with Blaze.”

“Our users can implement their app’s business logic in just a few clicks because Blaze has done all the difficult work on the technical side to provide a platform that generates intuitive front-ends and secure, scalable back-ends,” said Tina Denuit-Wojcik, Co-CEO of Blaze.

“We are thrilled to support the Blaze team in their mission to create powerful tools and dashboards without the need for expensive engineering resources,” said Adrian Fenty, General Partner and Co-Founder of MaC Venture Capital. “Nanxi and Tina have the business acumen to be huge disruptors in the industry, and because they’ve experienced these challenges first-hand, we know Blaze is building a top-tier product.”

“Nanxi and Tina are exceptionally talented founders with deep insights into the needs of Blaze’s customer base. Having watched how well they led and capital efficiently managed their prior company to significant success, we were delighted to invest in this dynamic duo,” said Chip Hazard, General Partner and Co-Founder of Flybridge Capital.

Additional investors in the round include Dean Schnider (Partner, Najafi Companies), Felicia Curcuru (CEO of Binti), Holly Liu (Co-Founder, Kabam), Lin Capital, Michael Einziger (co-founder of the band Incubus), Mike Lu (co-founder of Triller), Root and Shoot Ventures, Socially Financed, and The K Fund.

Breaking Barriers: Amanda Nguyen to Become the First Vietnamese Woman in Space

Amanda Nguyen is set to become the first Vietnamese woman to fly into space—a historic achievement on its own. But what makes this moment truly extraordinary is the powerful story behind it: a journey of resilience, justice, and unshakable advocacy for Asian American and survivor rights.

Amanda’s life changed forever in 2013 when she was sexually assaulted while attending Harvard. Frustrated by a legal system that failed to protect her, she fought back—not just for herself, but for countless others. Filing lawsuits as “Jane Doe,” she refused to accept a law that denied her justice. Instead, she turned her pain into purpose, founding Rise, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing civil rights protections for survivors of sexual violence.

Through Rise, Amanda played a key role in passing the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act, and her tireless advocacy work for both survivors and Asian American communities earned her global recognition. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019 and named Time Woman of the Year in 2022.

Despite the trauma she endured, Amanda never let go of her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. Now, at 32, she will finally see that dream take flight as she joins Space for Humanity’s Citizen Astronaut Program, making her the first Vietnamese American woman to fly into space.

According to Space for Humanity, the mission aims to “empower each citizen astronaut to address global challenges with a broader outlook.” Amanda will launch aboard a New Shepard rocket by Blue Origin, a U.S.-based aerospace company and spaceflight provider.

In a heartfelt video shared by the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam, Amanda spoke in Vietnamese:

“I am Vietnamese. I’m flying to space so that young Vietnamese women can see themselves among the stars. What’s important for me is that I can carry my community by my side. I might be the first, but I will not be the last.”

E-E-A-T Explained: How to Improve Your Search Performance

To increase search quality, Google introduces the E-E-A-T framework—an acronym for Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trustworthiness. These four qualities drive SEO and ultimately audience search. Here is a deep dive into the framework to boost your SEO game.

Experience

If your content includes relevant case studies, quotes from professionals, and SEO keywords tailored to your audience’s needs, you have met the experience quality standard.

Expertise

Unlike experience, expertise comes from you as the writer. Being an expert doesn’t mean using jargon—it means supporting your claims with statistics, insights, proven results, or even your own qualifications on the topic.

Authority

Authority goes beyond expertise. It is your brand’s reputation in a given field. Authority is earned over time by consistently producing high-quality content that establishes credibility.

Authority

Trustworthiness

The most important quality and the culmination of all three previous aspects. Trustworthiness involves having a strong reputation, providing reliable and accurate evidence, and ensuring website security, such as using HTTPS.

Is Your SEO Outdated? AHN Solutions Can Help!

SEO is constantly on the run, and what used to be your waving lucky cat might lose its charm the next day. Here are three key signs that your SEO’s “waving lucky cat” mode may have been deactivated. 

Dropping Search Rankings

If Google search is keeping your website on the low-low, it’s time that your SEO strategy needs a reboot. Or else, algorithm updates or stronger competition could be dragging you down.

Low Organic Traffic

If your organic traffic is at a standstill, your keywords may be outdated, or your content may not be what the audience needs anymore.

High Bounce Rate

If visitors visit your website like a casual one-click-stand, then there’s a problem, too. It could mean slow load times, poor mobile navigation, or irrelevant content. Whatever it may be, all of them may hurt your SEO performance.

AHN Solutions: Smarter Paid Ads, Bigger Results!

Running a successful paid ads campaign is not just about budget–paying hard doesn’t mean paying smart. To maximize your ad performance, here are three tips that AHN Solutions believes you can take to step up your paid ads game.

Define Your Audience Clearly

Bring out the magnifying glass because we’re going deep into our target demographics, interests, behaviors, and lookalike audience. Make sure you’ve got everything covered and detailed as much as possible. By doing so, you gain a much deeper and more unique understanding of your audience; henceforth, you can adapt your strategy to target them.

Define your audience clearly

Optimize for Each Platform

Each audience group has a different preferred content format and platform. You can not run ads on Facebook and expect to touch Gen Z? Customize your ad format, visuals, and messaging based on the platforms and the desired target audience.

Use Compelling Creatives & CTAs

It’s the era of visuals. Impactful content must go with eye-catching visuals and resonant CTAs. Test different versions to identity the most resonant one with your audience.

Adjust Your Paid Ads!

Why AHN Solutions?

While these tips are extremely valuable for improving your SEO game, having a professional handle will not only save resources but also boost results. AHNS’ services in branding, SEO, and website development will take care of the technical details, so you can focus on growing your business.
