What a turnout for our July mixer. Thank you to everyone in the RTM Nexus community who came out, it made for a great night of conversation and connection. See the full set of pictures here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Rvlqi2KbZfdzEgXpbDlMiNp3hyKwWysO?usp=sharing
We also want to spotlight our two sponsors from the evening, Merciv and Trasix, and share a bit about the conversations we had with retail and brand execs about what each of them brings to the table.
Merciv: Making Sense of the Noise
Merciv is an AI-native consumer intelligence platform built to help brands actually keep up with their own data. Instead of another dashboard you have to interpret yourself, Merciv continuously pulls signals from social, search, reviews, and other sources, then surfaces the patterns and insights that matter before a brand even knows to ask the question.
The conversations at the mixer kept circling back to a shared pain point among the executives in the room: teams are drowning in data but short on the people and time to actually make sense of it fast enough. What resonated is that Merciv is not positioning itself as a tool that requires more work from an already stretched team, it is positioning itself as the analyst that never sleeps.
Trasix: Fixing the Go-to-Market Grind
Trasix brought a different kind of conversation to the room, one rooted in the operational side of the business. Trasix is a connected go-to-market platform built specifically for fashion, footwear, and sporting goods brands, bringing line planning, digital catalogs, campaign execution, and B2B order management into a single workspace.
The execs we spoke with lit up talking about how much of their go-to-market process still lives in disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems that were not built for how fast brands need to move today. The idea of replacing that fragmentation with one connected workspace resonated, especially with folks who have felt the pain of watching a season slip because systems were not talking to each other.
Something New Is Starting
We also want to share some news. Last week we hosted the first of a new meetup series for industry people, consultants, founders, VCs, and tech vendors alike. It was a fantastic turnout and a great first run. Thank you to everyone in our community who came out and made it what it was.
