Veritone Announces Major Expansion of Veritone Data Refinery (VDR) Suppliers to Monetize Proprietary Data

Key Terms

tokens technical

Tokens are digital units issued on a blockchain that represent value, access, or rights—like a concert ticket that can grant entry, a voucher for a service, or a share-like claim on future revenue. For investors they matter because tokens can be bought, sold or used within digital platforms, so their design and legal status affect potential returns, liquidity and regulatory risk much like ownership documents or currency would in the physical world.

generative ai medical

Generative AI is a type of computer technology that can create new content, like text, images, or music, on its own. It’s important because it can produce realistic and useful material quickly, which could change how we create art, write stories, or even develop new products. Think of it as a smart robot that can invent and produce things almost like a human.

form 8-k regulatory

A Form 8-K is a report that companies file with the government to share important news quickly, such as changes in leadership, major business deals, or financial updates. It matters because it helps investors stay informed about significant events that could affect the company's value or stock price.

form 10-q regulatory

A Form 10-Q is a detailed report that publicly traded companies are required to file with regulators three times a year, providing an update on their financial health and business activities. It is important for investors because it offers timely insights into a company's performance, helping them make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks. Think of it as a regular check-up report that shows how well a company is doing.

convertible senior notes financial

Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.

registered direct offering financial

A registered direct offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly to select investors with regulatory approval. This method allows the company to raise funds quickly and efficiently without needing a public auction, similar to offering exclusive access to a limited number of buyers. For investors, it often provides an opportunity to purchase shares at a favorable price, while giving the company immediate access to capital.

prospectus supplement regulatory

A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.

lock-up regulatory

A lock-up is an agreement that prevents company insiders, early investors or employees from selling their shares for a set period after a public share offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares available to trade—like a scheduled hold on extra inventory—and when that hold ends a large number of shares can enter the market, potentially putting downward pressure on the stock price and revealing insiders’ confidence in the company.
