Nixxy completes separation of marketplace business into CognoGroup

Nixxy, Inc. (NASDAQ:NIXX) has completed the separation of its Marketplace business into CognoGroup, Inc. (OTC Markets:CGNO), an AI-driven communications company. This strategic move aims to allow Nixxy to concentrate solely on its AI-native communications and data infrastructure platform, while CognoGroup will focus on technology-enabled businesses centered on human capability, talent, and learning. Despite optimism from Nixxy CEO Mike Schmidt, the company faces financial challenges, including thin gross profit margins and liquidity concerns, although it has shown rapid revenue growth in its core business.
