SAN MATEO, Calif. - Cloud storage provider Backblaze, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLZE), a $274 million market cap company currently rated ’Fair’ by InvestingPro, will serve as a Gold-level sponsor at the upcoming Ai4 2025 conference taking place August 11-13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the company announced in a press release.
