Video dominates our digital world, and it’s growing fast.
There are some 5 billion internet users in the world right now. They watch over a billion hours of video every day, according to data from YouTube.
This encompasses everything from TV shows to movies. From news and commentary to education and learning. And from concert livestreams to social videos.
Speaking of social videos, we’re not only seeing more videos on social media every year … we’re consuming more.

From 2019 to 2022, the average amount of time spent watching videos on sites like Facebook doubled per user. And it’s still going up.
Not surprisingly, by 2027, video is on track to make up 80% of global internet traffic.
The problem? Our current infrastructure isn’t built to handle this explosion of data.
To be fair, our current networks, cloud storage and AI systems are already putting a huge strain on this capacity.
However, some smart people are already working on a solution.

Reticulate Micro is a startup with a solution.
Its VAST Platform is a next-generation AI-driven video compression technology that reduces video data sizes by 50%+ … all without sacrificing quality.
Here’s how it works:
- Faster, Smarter Video — VAST slashes bandwidth costs and speeds up streaming.
- Runs on Any Device — Unlike traditional encoders, VAST doesn’t need expensive hardware.
- Military-Grade Performance — Successfully tested on U.S. military satellites, it streams high-quality video over ultra-low bandwidth.
- AI-Optimized — It enhances machine learning, autonomous vehicles, security and cloud computing applications.
The third point here is huge. It already has business from both the private and public sectors. And both are looking to increase efficiency in IT costs right now.
Massive Market, Massive Opportunity
With video data demand tripling — and industries like 5G, AI and defense investing billions — the need for smarter video solutions has never been greater.
- Telecom & 5G — Reducing video congestion and cutting infrastructure costs.
- AI & Cloud Computing — Making real-time video processing more efficient.
- Defense & Government — Secure, low-bandwidth video transmission for critical operations.
The list of affected industries is too long to list. Demand for better video solutions is growing everywhere — education, training, entertainment even security.
The Bottom Line
Video data is growing at an exponential rate, but the world’s infrastructure isn’t keeping up.
Networks are struggling, cloud storage costs are surging and AI-powered applications demand more efficiency than ever before.
Reticulate Micro is providing a real solution — a smarter, faster way to process and transmit video data.
Its technology isn’t just an incremental improvement … it’s a paradigm shift that could save industries billions in costs while opening new frontiers in AI, 5G, defense and beyond.
The company has already proven its value in military-grade applications, positioning itself at the cutting edge of secure, high-efficiency video transmission.
With AI-driven video processing becoming essential to the future of cloud computing, autonomous systems and next-gen connectivity, Reticulate Micro is stepping in at the perfect time.
This is more than just a promising startup — it’s a company tackling one of the biggest tech challenges of the next decade.
And it is getting paid to do it …
The company’s RMX Managed Service Provider business model gives it recurring revenue from constant upgrades.
If you’re looking for an investment in the future of video, bandwidth and AI-powered efficiency, this could be it.
Happy hunting!

P.S. In just one week, I’ll be sharing an idea even bigger than this. It, too, is still privately owned. And it is also opening up to new pre-IPO investors.
I want you to be one of them. So, I urge you to register for this Weiss VIP event where I will share the details. Click here to save your spot.
