PARA announced several important developments recently that could be big growth catalysts.
On July 6, 2026, the company announced:
“Banzai Completes Acquisition of ConnectAndSell, Doubling Annual Revenue at 86% Gross Margin”
Here are some of the highlights from this press release:
“ConnectAndSell serves approximately 250 B2B organizations such as Intuit, RingCentral, Truckstop, and SAP across financial services, healthcare, technology, and other industries.”
“ConnectAndSell’s FY 2025 revenue was $14.7 million, with a gross margin of 86%, and an average revenue per customer of approximately $59,000.”
“ConnectAndSell’s AI sales acceleration platform facilitates 4.8 million live customer conversations annually, improving seller productivity and allowing sales teams to spend more time in live conversations with qualified decision-makers.
ConnectAndSell estimates customers leveraging their platform generate $17.8 billion in annual sales pipeline value. The acquisition brings a powerful sales acceleration platform into Banzai's portfolio, extending the Company's reach across more of the customer revenue journey.”
As the company further explains:
“Banzai believes the addition of ConnectAndSell strengthens its position as a provider of integrated marketing and sales technology solutions while creating meaningful cross-sell opportunities across the combined company’s customer base. The transaction also furthers Banzai’s strategy of building a powerful platform of revenue-generating software solutions.
The majority of ConnectAndSell’s thirty-eight team members will join Banzai as part of the transaction, bringing their substantial AI experience to Banzai. Banzai expects to recognize additional financial synergies through cost consolidation by the end of FY 2026.”
Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release:
“ConnectAndSell solves the hardest problem in B2B sales: getting decision-makers into live conversations,” said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. “It's a category-defining product with enterprise customers, exceptional margins, and a team that's been doing applied AI since before it was fashionable. The ConnectAndSell platform is a great example of beneficial AI making people more effective. We're thrilled to bring them into Banzai.”
Financial and Strategic Benefits
“Expands Platform Capabilities: The acquisition adds sales acceleration functionality to Banzai’s portfolio, broadening its reach across the go-to-market workflow.
Enhances Revenue Generation Offering: ConnectAndSell extends Banzai’s ability to support customers from audience engagement and demand generation through sales execution and conversion.
Creates Cross-Sell Opportunities: Banzai sees the potential to introduce ConnectAndSell’s capabilities to its existing customer base while also expanding Banzai’s broader offerings to ConnectAndSell customers.
Revenue and Cash Flow Improvement: On a pro forma combined basis, the acquisition increases Banzai's FY 2025 revenue by $14.7M. Banzai expects to recognize financial synergies by the end of FY 2026 which the Company expects to meaningfully contribute to its profitability and cash flow in FY 2027.”
Jonti McLaren, President of ConnectAndSell, added, “ConnectAndSell has built something truly differentiated, and Banzai is the right home to take it further. As part of Banzai's AI-powered product family, we can deliver even more value to the sales teams who rely on us every day to deliver millions of conversations and billions of dollars of sales pipeline for their businesses.”
On July 16, the company announced:
“Banzai Appoints David Abrams, Wyatt Jozwowski to Lead CreateStudio Business”
Here are some of the comments from this press release:
"David and Wyatt bring complementary strengths,” said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. “David's market vision and go-to-market execution, paired with Wyatt's focus on product and design excellence. Their success at Demio speaks for itself, and we’re thrilled to be working with them again. Together they give CreateStudio the complete leadership team it needs as it navigates the future of AI video.”
David Abrams added, "Wyatt and I have spent our careers building products people actually love to use and 5 years after the Demio acquisition...that hasn't changed. What's different now is the opportunity in front of us. AI video editing is moving fast and CreateStudio is positioned to lead it. We're coming back to Banzai now because we believe in this vision, and we're ready to roll up our sleeves and build something incredible again, together."
Wyatt Jozwowski added, “Video has changed more in the last few months than I ever expected because of AI, and it's opening the door to compete with legacy editors in a way that just wasn't possible before. I couldn't be more excited about that. David and I have built together before, and I genuinely believe we're the right team to take this on with CreateStudio.”
On July 22, the company announced:
“Banzai Announces Significant Demio Product Updates: Launches Upgraded AI Moderator, Turning Webinars Into Always-On Content Assets”
“Now powered by full webinar transcripts to deliver more accurate, context-aware responses in real time, the enhanced AI Moderator enables marketing, customer education, and demand generation teams to run more interactive, scalable events without adding operational overhead, transforming each webinar into a reusable content asset that continues delivering value long after the live session ends.
Live webinars remain one of the highest-intent touchpoints in any customer journey, yet organizations have historically lost most of the value they generate: hosts spend hours managing Q&A manually, and content produced for a one-time event rarely gets systematically repurposed. The upgraded AI Moderator directly addresses both problems. By drawing on complete session transcripts rather than isolated prompts, it provides richer, more contextually accurate responses during live events – reducing host workload and improving the attendee experience simultaneously.
Beyond the live event, Demio's AI-powered engagement and content workflows give teams structured pathways to distribute, repurpose, and amplify webinar content across channels – making each session a durable asset rather than a one-time broadcast.”
Furthermore:
“To support growing enterprise adoption, Demio has also completed significant infrastructure improvements – including CDN asset delivery and platform-wide performance optimizations – ensuring reliability and speed under increased demand. The upgraded AI Moderator is available now as part of the Demio platform.”
Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release:
“Webinars have always been one of the highest-intent moments in a buyer's journey – but hosting them at scale has required too much manual effort, and much of the content has simply disappeared after the session ends,” said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. “The new AI Moderator changes that, by turning live webinar sessions into instantly available AI-led sessions. We're giving teams the tools to run better events and extract real, lasting value from every session they produce.”
On July 28, the company announced:
“Banzai Announces OpenReel Creator AI: Edit Professional Video by Describing What You Want”
As the company further explains:
“OpenReel today announced Creator AI, a conversational editing agent that lets enterprise teams produce professional video content by describing what they want in plain language – no timeline expertise required. With Creator AI, users can polish footage, apply brand standards, extract highlights, generate distribution-ready clips, and prepare content for publishing by conversing with the Creator AI agent.”
“OpenReel’s Creator AI is designed to shift the editing experience away from complex manual interfaces and toward a natural language workflow, reducing both the time and technical expertise required to produce polished, brand-consistent video. Creator AI builds on OpenReel's existing AI capabilities, including sentiment analysis for communication effectiveness, and reflects the company's broader strategy to evolve from a video recording platform into an intelligent content creation ecosystem.”
Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release:
“Enterprise video production has hit a scaling wall,” said Matt McCurdy, President and General Manager of the OpenReel product. “Demand for video content across internal communications, customer education, and marketing has grown steadily, but output remains constrained by the specialized skills that traditional editing tools require. Until now, most organizations could not scale video production without scaling the specialized headcount to match. Creator AI was built to eliminate this problem.”
Plus:
“Video has become an essential medium for enterprise communication, but most organizations are still producing it through a bottleneck of specialized skills that don't scale,” said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. “Creator AI changes that equation entirely by enabling users to describe what they want and get a polished, brand-ready video back. Our goal is to eliminate the barrier to high-quality production.”
On August 6, 2026, the company announced:
“Banzai International, Inc. Unveils Agentic Platform Strategy, Plans to Change Its Name to Parabolic Technologies, Inc.”
Concurrently with the proposed rebranding, the Company also announced a new business unit structure designed to align leadership and go-to-market execution with its evolved vision.
The Company’s operations will be organized into three business units:
“ConnectAndSell, the Company’s AI sales acceleration platform, led by President and General Manager Jonti McLaren;
Banzai, which will operate the Company’s Demio and OpenReel products, led by President and General Manager Matt McCurdy; and
CreateStudio, an AI-powered video content creation platform, led by General Manager David Abrams, as previously announced by the Company.”
Here are some of the company’s comments from this press release:
“Our proposed name change to Parabolic represents more than a new brand. This change reflects where we believe the future of software is headed, and the path to strategic growth through investment in high potential businesses. Our continued aim is to build a business that delivers profitable growth both organically and strategically,” said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. “We look forward to sharing more with our shareholders as we move toward a vote on this proposal.”
Most recently, on Friday, the company announced:
“Parabolic Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results”

Here are some of the comments from this press release:
“Our proposed name change to Parabolic represents more than a new brand. This change reflects where we believe the future of software is headed, and the path to strategic growth through investment in high potential businesses. Our continued aim is to build a business that delivers profitable growth both organically and strategically. For example, the recently announced acquisition of ConnectAndSell, an AI sales acceleration platform, will begin contributing to company results in the third quarter of this year and will transform the scale of our business in 2H 2026 and FY 2027 when we estimate 2027 revenue growth of 50% year-over-year.
“ConnectAndSell serves approximately 250 B2B organizations such as Intuit, RingCentral, Truckstop, and SAP across financial services, healthcare, technology, and other industries. ConnectAndSell’s FY 2025 revenue was $14.7 million, with a gross margin of 86%, and an average revenue per customer of approximately $59,000.
“I am pleased to report the second quarter operating losses have decreased primarily from executing on the cost management plan that we announced in May. Additionally, I am pleased that Parabolic's management is making further cost reductions, which we expect will meaningfully reduce operating expenses within this calendar year.
“Overall, our revenue trend was influenced by one-time non-recurring revenue recognized in Q1 2026. We saw many bright spots including all-time high NRR in and growing bookings in our enterprise segment, consistently high gross margin, and meaningful decreases in operating expenses as a result of the management actions announced in May. Additionally, we are seeing improvements in leading indicators within the sales pipeline and strong customer retention statistics,” said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Parabolic.
“During the quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet by retiring debt totaling $4.5 million through cash payments and share conversions and improving Stockholder’s Equity by $4.1 million.
“Looking ahead, we have announced a rebranding and have aligned our business units to align leadership and go-to-market execution with our evolved vision. The Company’s operations are now organized into three business units: ConnectAndSell, the Company’s AI sales acceleration platform, Banzai, our enterprise video business, and CreateStudio, our AI-powered video content creation platform. These business units are supported by a cost-efficient shared service function.
“We also maintain an active pipeline of potential acquisition opportunities across key industries where we have strong sector experience and can leverage our AI platform and experience to add value and strategic operational acceleration. The recent acquisition of ConnectAndSell is a demonstration of a successful execution of our strategic growth goal,” concluded Davy.
We believe PARA could be positioned for a big breakout higher.
Make sure to do your own due diligence.
