We lost government contracts in H2 2025 at Vatis Tech.

But we reached break-even anyway. Here's the full breakdown:

During the second half of last year, our governmental contracts stopped renewing. Budget constraints hit hard and MRR dropped for the first time in 5 years.

We adapted fast and tried to recover from private sector, so we doubled down on private customers, especially media monitoring companies. They started growing with us and we recovered the lost revenue.

By end of 2025: 100 customers, €228k ARR (€19k MRR), and €203k in revenue. That's 23% growth year over year.

What kept us going:
- One company switched completely from our $100M VC-backed competitor to us, doubled their spending (€700→€1,400/month)
- Another one is scaling from 7,000 to 10,000 hours per month
- 0% churn from media monitoring companies
- We also launched Brewbrand this year. 30 customers and profitable from month one.
- Our self-service transcription app also grew 15% year over year from €29,106 to €33,337.

The reality is we had to make hard decisions to stay break-even.

Team down to 4 FTE and more contractors.

But in November, we hit break-even. And stayed there.

For 2026: targeting €0.5-€1M ARR while staying profitable. No big team expansion. Just focused growth on what's working.

Still lean. Still profitable. We'll see if we get there.

THE FUTURE OF POLITICS

Since World War II, the "Body-Planet connection" has been gradually deteriorating in a vicious cycle of fast-food, alcohol, drugs, tech-addiction, insomnia and sedentary lifestyle. These modern social pathologies are now so common to become the "new normal" for billions of people around the world.

At the same time, the obnoxious devastation of the Earth - with extensive desertification, flooding and the plastic invasion of cities, forests and oceans - is of such a magnitude that most people - including scientists and politicians – don't really know how to tackle it. Similarly, traditional religions and school systems are disoriented in a new multipolar society dominated by complex economic systems, pervasive digital media and fast-evolving technology. 

In such a multifaceted world, politicians are either short-sighted, or simply incapable to devise structural and long-term solutions for the collective good. At the same time, the rich are becoming richer, and the middle-class is being impoverished worldwide. These dynamics - together with the new arm race in Europe, USA, Asia and the Middle East - is slowing down public and private 
investments in clean energy transition, social infrastructure, sustainable mobility and extreme weather events prevention & response.

The only global institution promoting sustainable development – the United Nations – has lost its effectiveness, reputation and political leverage under a weak and unexciting leadership. The same has happened to the European Union which, initially, had played a leading role in promoting the global climate agenda, and now lost its impetus.

In this chaotic world, Artificial Intelligence is dangerously infiltrating all aspects of our lives at such a pace that it's becoming difficult for most politicians to understand what it is, how to govern and use it for the public good. 

In the future, traditional politics will not exist anymore. On one hand, there will be a fragmentation of traditional political parties operating online and locally, not anymore at country levels. On the other hand, all national parties, entities and movements engaged in environmental protection will converge in a global PLANET PARTY operating on the blockchain and leading the construction of a new world order in which Humans, Planet & Technology will co-exist harmoniously for the benefit of all.

[Digital Eco-Mastermind Series] - "LONGEVITY REVOLUTION" - Sunday, 15 March 2026 - [10am EST, 4pm CET]

Nowadays, the multi-billion longevity industry offers mainly expensive consultations, technological devices and pharmacological treatments. However, the real impact of these interventions on our lifespan and quality of life is often limited, especially without correct sleep, nutrition and movement habits. 

Furthermore, modern neuroscience and epigenetic demonstrate that a more natural lifestyle and no-cost practices - like exposing the eyes to natural light in the morning, breathing diaphragmatically, engaging in genuine social interactions, or simply walking barefoot in the park or on a beach – can impact much more positively our lifespan and quality of life. Thus, is the current longevity industry on the right track? Or it is just a luxury commercial hype?

If you are a doctor, investor, scientist or ecopreneur, or you are just interested
in this important topic, join me for an informed interactive mastermind to deep
dive into the rationale and business opportunities of modern longevity.

THE AKASHIC RECORDS
 
PLANETOLOGY builds on the intelligence and good-hearted nature of Humans. With our creative minds, we can visualize accessing the Akashic Records: a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, emotions and experiences that have ever occurred in the past, present and future, for all entities and life forms.

I narrated my futuristic vision in the novel "World Peace 2050" where I visualize the Earth as a prosperous organism, powered by unlimited clean energy from the Sun, Water and Air. In it, People, Plants, Animals and Machines coexist peacefully and harmoniously.
 
While the current reality seems far from that vision, we have indeed already developed extraordinary technologies able to produce limitless renewable energy; extract water from air; irrigate deserts; farm vertically; remove plastics from oceans, rivers and lands, and convert it into biofuel. 
 
We have also already invented technologies and resources able to regenerate contaminated land, and produce fresh food for everybody. And all this has happened even before the unparalleled value added by Artificial Intelligence to science, technology and human performance. So, imagine what we can achieve in the future if we use it properly, to build and grow, instead of killing and destroying each other.

Despite the current appearance of world affairs - between inflation, poverty, wars and environmental degradation - we have all entered in a new spiritual dimension dominated by the reconnection of our Body with the essential elements of Nature: Air, Water, Soli and Temperature. This is the only possible timeline that ensures the survival, wellness and evolution of the human species.

QUASI-ROBOT BEINGS

Although most people don't even think about it, the truth is that we have already become quasi-robot beings. 

During the last three decades, technology has been reshaping all aspects of human life. In fact, we are just a thumb away from installing a chip in our brain and inextricably connecting our nervous system to the web. Today, nearly every adult on Earth owns a mobile phone. In the modern "economy of attention", social media and personal branding have become new drugs, and indispensable tools to survive and succeed in business and life.

Indeed, investors and even Governments increasingly venture on the blockchain. Enterprises depend on digital strategies and AI-powered workflows. Digitalization has become the 4th essential element for humans, after millennia of Soul-Mind-Body integration. 

Thus, the next tech-gen will either upgrade humanity to a new level of longevity and prosperity, or slowly degrade into some form of cyber-slavery. Humans are now facing the dilemma of either living rutted in comfortable chairs, watching seamless video-screens with small legs and fluffy bodies; or using technology to expand consciousness, learn the language of waves, clouds and butterflies, and reach new existential heights: both physical and mental. This is the paradox of the 5th Revolution: an upcoming era where People, Planet and Machines will either live and prosper together, or slowly decay and destroy each other.

PLANET GOLD [Reel] - "BEYOND ESG”
Join me and MIT powerhouse Cristina Dolan as we disrupt the standard approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). We explore how technology and transparency are the true engines behind the Circular Economy and the race to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. It’s time to re-engineer the climate agenda with inclusivity and precision. 🧬✨

"CONNECTING WITH THE WEB"

Depending on your business or occupation, connecting with digital media may vary in purpose and duration. Whatever you do, you must use technology and build a solid presence on the worldwide WEB to position yourself and your business in the new global smart economy.

Based on the latest neuroscience-backed protocols, you should execute a deep-work morning session of 90 minutes in line with the duration of an ultradian cycle. This will optimize your productivity and ensure maximum morning efficiency. You may repeat 90-minute deep-work cycles 2-3 more times during the day according to your agenda and requirements. You decide 
how to fill these slots with emotional and creative assignments (like, personal calls or meetings; writing emails, articles or posts), and/or "operational" tasks like financial transactions, legal or accounting duties. In any case, you will need to use some kind of both hardware and sofware.

As explained in the previous ritual - "Primal Connections" (see linj above) - you must connect FIRST with your Body (your physiology, your inner technology), then with Nature, and finally with the Web and social media. 

In PLANETOLOGY, this is called the "Body - Nature - Web Equation".

This way, your health immediately improves; energy increases; inter-personal relations harmonize; and you set yourself on the fast track for success in business and life. 

Download the PLANETOLOGY ebook on Amazon to read and. study the full "QUANTUM CONNECTIONS" ritual, together with other exclusive body-mind exercise to quickly elevate your health, interpersonal and business performance to the next level.
