Mobile-first consumer insights reveal why local audience composition matters more than ever in the coffee category.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / As challenger coffee brands expand aggressively across the United States, new research from Start.io reveals that the audience fueling this growth looks dramatically different depending on geography.
Drawing on anonymized, mobile-first audience data from its Consumer Insights and Audiences Hub, Start.io analyzed coffee enthusiast segments nationwide, as well as in two distinct markets: New York City and Nebraska. The findings underscore a critical reality for marketers: While coffee consumption might be common, the consumers behind it are anything but uniform.
Nationally: Across the U.S., Start.io identifies more than 10.4 million coffee enthusiasts. Nationally, this audience skews young, with 50.9% falling into the 18-24 age bracket. Gender distribution is evenly split at 50% male and 50% female. Income distribution is broad, with 34.1% earning less than $25,000 annually and 14.6% earning between $100,000 and $149,999.
New York City: In New York City, where challenger coffee brands including Blank Street, Luckin Coffee, and Cotti Coffee are gaining ground, the demographic composition of coffee enthusiasts shifts meaningfully compared to the national average. In NYC, 43% of coffee enthusiasts fall into the 25-34 age bracket, while 42.1% are 18-24. The gender split skews heavily male at 62.7%, compared to 37.3% female. Income distribution reveals sharp polarization: 33.2% earn less than $25,000 annually, while 20.1% fall into the $100,000-$149,999 range.
Nebraska: In Nebraska, where drive-thru specialty chains like Scooter’s have seen rapid growth, the audience skews even younger than the national average, with 56.8% in the 18-24 category. Gender tilts slightly female at 53.1%. Income distribution is more evenly spread across brackets compared to NYC, with 27.1% earning under $25,000 and meaningful representation across mid-tier income levels.
As challenger coffee brands expand across U.S. markets, Start.io’s research highlights how audience composition varies significantly by location.
“Coffee may be a universal ritual, but coffee enthusiasts are not a monolith,” said Omri Barnes, CMO at Start.io. “Our data shows that brands looking to grow in this highly competitive category need to understand the demographic nuances of each market. A strategy that resonates in New York City may look very different from one that succeeds in Nebraska.”
Start.io’s Consumer Insights and Audiences Hub provides marketers access to tens of thousands of mobile-first audience segments and location-based insights, enabling brands to explore national, state, and city-level differences and activate campaigns across leading DSPs.

The white paper examines how automation performs in day-to-day hospital operations, where timing, human behavior, physical layout, and trust drive real-world results and long-term adoption. It also demonstrates how autonomous logistics can create durable efficiency gains in large, multi-stakeholder environments.
In this initial deployment, biospecimen transfers were automated using Arrive AI’s Arrive Points™ as fixed, secure handoff locations connected to an autonomous ground robot running between the cancer center and the hospital laboratory.
Key Insights:
Sensor reliability affects workflow timing: The system must consistently recognize item presence at handoff under normal operating conditions.
Clear signals at the point of interaction matter: The handoff moment is about responsibility, not about system status, and requires clear confirmation.
Connectivity is the hidden limiting factor: Reliability is not determined by route length but by environmental stability.
Multidirectional movement is the real workflow: Supporting all directions of material movement is essential to maintaining the natural rhythm of clinical workflows.
Automation should fit workflows and surface adjustments: Effective automation fits current workflows while clearly signaling when small adjustments may be needed.
“During this initial deployment with Hancock Health, our Arrive Points™ enabled secure, asynchronous handoffs that fit naturally into existing hospital workflows, reducing walking time without adding extra steps for staff,” said Dan O’Toole, CEO of Arrive AI. “The white paper captures what we saw on the ground: automation works in hospitals when it respects real‑world conditions, communicates clearly in the moments that matter, and is seamless so that staff can trust it from day one. These important insights are shaping how we evolve the platform so our workflow‑first approach can scale from a single route to whole hospitals, health systems, and eventually other industries that depend on time‑critical logistics.”
About Arrive AI: Arrive AI’s (NASDAQ:ARAI) patented last mile (ALM) platform enables drone- or ground robot-based and human mail delivery to and from a physical smart mailbox, while providing tracking data, smart logistics alerts and advanced chain of custody controls to secure the last-mile delivery for all shippers, delivery services, and autonomous delivery networks.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / In a world defined by uncertainty, from geopolitical tensions to fragile global supply chains, SMX is emerging as a foundational technology for trust, transparency, and security. Whether in times of peace or periods of conflict, SMX provides governments, enterprises, and institutions with the tools needed to protect critical systems, verify materials, and maintain operational stability.
Modern risk rarely arrives without warning. It often begins quietly, through counterfeit components, compromised materials, undocumented sourcing, or unverified hardware entering sensitive systems. These vulnerabilities can undermine infrastructure, disrupt economies, and weaken national security.
SMX addresses these challenges through molecular-level marking and digital verification technology that gives physical materials a permanent, secure identity. From raw materials and manufactured components to finished products and recycled assets, each item can be authenticated, tracked, and validated throughout its lifecycle.
By embedding verification directly into materials, SMX transforms supply chains from paper-based systems into intelligent, self-reporting networks. This approach enables instant authentication, reduces fraud, and strengthens accountability across borders and industries.
In times of peace, SMX supports economic resilience and sustainable growth. Its technology enhances regulatory compliance, strengthens environmental reporting, and improves transparency in global trade. Manufacturers, recyclers, and distributors gain confidence in sourcing, quality, and sustainability claims, while regulators gain reliable data for oversight and enforcement.
In times of conflict or heightened geopolitical tension, SMX serves as a critical layer of protection. By eliminating anonymity from key components and materials, the technology helps prevent the infiltration of compromised parts into communications networks, energy systems, transportation infrastructure, and defense supply chains. This reduces exposure to sabotage, cyber-physical attacks, and systemic disruption.
As warfare increasingly extends into digital and supply chain domains, material verification has become a frontline defense. SMX enables early detection of threats, limits the spread of counterfeit or manipulated hardware, and strengthens national and industrial resilience.
SMX’s platform is designed to be globally interoperable and politically neutral. It does not depend on regional standards or national control systems, making it suitable for international trade, cross-border partnerships, and multinational operations. This neutrality positions SMX as a trusted infrastructure layer in an era marked by declining institutional trust and rising geopolitical competition.
From rare earth materials and semiconductors to pharmaceuticals, plastics, and energy components, SMX brings visibility and accountability to assets that were previously difficult to monitor. Risk becomes measurable. Compliance becomes verifiable. Trust becomes data-driven.
With growing adoption across industries and regions, SMX is establishing itself as a core component of modern supply chain and security architecture. As governments tighten regulations and organizations seek greater resilience, the company’s technology provides a scalable, future-ready solution.
For institutions, investors, and enterprises navigating an increasingly volatile global environment, SMX represents more than innovation. It represents certainty, continuity, and protection.

Independent audit confirms the effectiveness of Spider Labs’ security controls across its marketing security SaaS platform.
TOKYO, JP / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / Spider Labs Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoko Otsuki) today announced that its cloud-based marketing security SaaS platform Spider AF has successfully completed a SOC 2 Type II examination conducted by an independent auditor in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
The resulting SOC 2 Type II report provides independent assurance that Spider Labs’ controls related to security, availability, and confidentiality were suitably designed and operated effectively over the specified review period.
Overview of the SOC 2 Type II Examination
Details of the report are as follows:
Service covered: Spider AF (cloud-based marketing security SaaS platform) Trust Services Categories: Security, Availability, Confidentiality Report type: SOC 2 Type II Examination period: June 1, 2025 – December 1, 2025
Background and Future Outlook
As the use of cloud services continues to expand, SaaS providers are expected to demonstrate robust and independently verified security management practices.
In response to these expectations, Spider Labs implemented internal controls aligned with the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and completed an independent third-party examination to provide customers with verifiable assurance regarding its security management practices.
Spider Labs will continue strengthening its information security and internal control framework in order to support customers in maintaining secure and reliable business operations.
Strengthening Enterprise Readiness
In recent years, enterprise procurement and security evaluation processes have increasingly required SaaS providers to submit SOC 2 reports as part of vendor risk assessments. SOC 2 has become an important benchmark for objectively demonstrating the effectiveness of a service provider’s security and internal control framework.
Spider Labs has previously obtained ISMS certification (ISO/IEC 27001:2022). With the completion of the SOC 2 Type II examination, an independent auditor has now evaluated both the design of the company’s control framework and the operational effectiveness of those controls over a defined period of time.
This enables Spider Labs to:
Streamline security reviews by providing a third-party assurance report during vendor evaluations
Address strict enterprise security requirements, including those of financial institutions and large organizations
Facilitate smoother procurement processes involving legal, IT, and information security departments
These measures strengthen Spider Labs’ ability to support organizations that require a high level of security assurance.
What is SOC 2 Type II?
SOC 2 is an independent assurance report in which an auditor evaluates a service organization’s internal controls based on the Trust Services Criteria established by the AICPA.
Spider Labs’ controls were evaluated against the following criteria:
Security
Availability
Confidentiality
SOC reports are generally categorized as follows:
Type I: Evaluates whether internal controls are suitably designed and implemented at a specific point in time.
Type II: Evaluates whether those controls are suitably designed and operated effectively over a defined period.
Because a Type II examination evaluates the operating effectiveness of controls over time, it provides stronger assurance regarding the ongoing operation of those controls.
About Spider AF
With digital marketing now cemented as the primary engine of marketing operations, organizations face increasing exposure to latent exploitations within their marketing infrastructure.
According to Spider Labs research, an analysis of 4.15 billion performance advertising clicks in 2024 found that 5.1% were identified as fraudulent, representing an estimated $37.7 billion in global digital advertising losses. Based on projected market growth, those losses could exceed $45.2 billion by 2026.

The Cavorite X7’s Low Projected Operating Cost Has Been Verified by a Leading Independent Audit Firm
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. (“Horizon Aircraft” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:HOVR) is proud to announce that its hybrid-electric VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, the Cavorite X7, is forecasted to operate up to 75% more cost efficiently compared to conventional helicopters on a cost per available seat mile basis. The aircraft further offers greater redundancy, speed, and higher aircraft utilization by combining all-weather capability with low maintenance requirements.
The Cavorite X7’s competitive operational and economic performance is attributed to its hybrid architecture and patented fan-in-wing design. Flying most missions in conventional fixed-wing cruise powered by a traditional turboprop engine, the Cavorite X7 is targeting regional distances up to 450 km/h (280 mph), nearly twice the speed of today’s helicopters serving similar mission profiles. This can cut response times by half for critical missions such as medevac, disaster relief, and defense operations while significantly lowering operational costs.
Horizon Aircraft CFO Brian Merker stated, “The Cavorite X7’s projected operating cost is US$0.97 per available seat mile, which we had validated by a leading independent audit firm. Our goal in 2026 is to highlight our aircraft’s superior economic performance to legacy helicopter operators and lessors and how it can meaningfully transform their service to current and future customers.”
Operators can expect to further benefit from the Cavorite X7’s high utilization potential. The aircraft is targeting certification for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI), and also has significantly lower mechanical complexity than a traditional helicopter. Integrating Cavorite X7s into existing fleets can provide operators an opportunity to deliver consistent, year-round availability, minimizing disruptions from adverse weather or maintenance downtime that currently ground open rotor aircraft. Further operational benefits include the ability to carry meaningful payloads (up to 680 kg/1500 lbs) and to fully recharge batteries in-flight unlike all-electric eVTOLs.
“The Cavorite X7’s design was driven by gaps in today’s regional air mobility solutions,” stated Horizon Aircraft Co-Founder and CEO Brandon Robinson. “A hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft that flies in all-weather conditions faster, farther, safer, and does so economically with higher aircraft utilization has the ability to save more lives, connect more communities, and empower operators to offer enhanced services.”
For more information about Horizon Aircraft, please see the Company’s website or watch its innovative technology in action on the Company’s YouTube channel.
About Horizon Aircraft
Horizon Aircraft (NASDAQ:HOVR) is an advanced aerospace engineering company that is developing one of the world’s first hybrid-electric VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft designed to fly most of its mission in traditional wing-borne flight, offering industry-leading speed, range, and operational utility. Horizon Aircraft’s unique designs put the mission first and prioritize safety and performance. Upon successful completion of testing and certification of its full-scale aircraft, Horizon Aircraft intends to scale unit production to meet expected demand from regional operators, emergency service providers, and military customers.

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / TGI Solar Power Group, Inc. (OTC PINK:TSPG) (“TGI”), a leader in sustainable technology and environmental real estate development, diversified holding company, is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire XGC Corp (“XGC”), an Ontario-based leader in Sovereign AI and Blockchain infrastructure. The transaction, valued at $1.8 million, positions TGI at the forefront of the global carbon market by integrating XGC’s national-grade carbon registry and GeoAI-enabled MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) technology.
The acquisition will be structured into a newly formed Wyoming subsidiary, designed to deploy XGC’s “Sovereign Operating System” to governments seeking to monetize natural capital under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
Strategic Value & Disruptive Technology
XGC Corp provides a first-of-its-kind “Sovereign-as-a-Service” platform. Unlike traditional carbon market intermediaries, XGC’s technology acts as a “National Central Bank for Carbon,” allowing sovereign nations to:
Digitize Natural Assets: Transform forests, mangroves, and industrial projects into high-integrity, blockchain-verified carbon credits.
Automate Trust: Use GeoAI and satellite monitoring to provide real-time verification, replacing slow and expensive manual auditing.
Ensure Social Equity: Implement a “Worker-First” smart contract waterfall that guarantees local wages and a 10% automated royalty to host-nation Ministries of Environment.
Revenue Model & Financial Potential
The transaction unlocks a multiplicative revenue stream for the combined entity:
5% SaaS Fee: TGI/XGC will earn a 5% gross fee on every carbon credit minted, traded, or retired through its national registries.
Scalable Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): With an anchor market target in Uganda (projected $1.09M annual SaaS fee) and a roadmap to onboard four nations per year, the partnership targets a Year 1 recurring revenue milestone of ~$4.32M, doubling to ~$8.64M in Year 2.
High Lifetime Value (LTV): Due to the mandated nature of national registry infrastructure, each sovereign implementation carries an estimated 10-year LTV of $10M+.
Immediate Project Pipeline
The partnership will immediately focus on high-impact global projects:
Angola (ADVENT City): Integrating XGC as the digital backbone for a 1,600km “Blue-Carbon Spine,” registering mangrove and renewable energy assets.
Dominican Republic: Deploying ship-based Sargassum harvesting technology to convert environmental waste into high-margin Biochar Carbon Removals (CDR), with a regional gross value potential estimated at $1.4B-$2.6B.
Kazakhstan: Providing the registry layer for SMR-generated power credits and international credit exports to Singapore and CORSIA markets.
Management Commentary
“This acquisition is a transformative step for TGI,” said the Spokesperson for TGI Solar Power Group. “By acquiring XGC, we are not just buying software; we are acquiring a gateway into the sovereign carbon economy. Daniel Brody’s vision of a transparent, AI-driven registry aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainable energy and infrastructure.”
Daniel Brody, CEO of XGC Corp, added: “Joining forces with TGI allows us to accelerate the deployment of our National Carbon Registry toolkit. Our goal is to empower developing nations to capture climate finance directly, ensuring that environmental protection becomes a primary driver of national wealth rather than a liability.”
Transaction Details
The LOI specifies a 90-day due diligence period, during which time a beta version of the integrated AI-backed software will be available for testing. Final closing is expected immediately following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and definitive agreement signatures.
XGC Corp provides national-grade carbon registry solutions combining AI, Blockchain, and ERP into a single cloud-based protocol, enabling sovereign nations to manage their carbon assets with maximum integrity and transparency.
TGI Solar Power Group, Inc. is a diversified holding company focusing on solar energy, sustainable infrastructure, and innovative technologies that drive the global transition to a green economy.
