[ad_1] Startups at every stage of their growth cycle are defined by two important factors: their capacity for handling risk and their ability to attract funding. Risk-taking is an essential part of the growth and innovation that startups need to succeed. Without adequate investment, however, no amount of risk-taking is enough to take a startup to the next level.  Startup investments, especially in the form of VC funding, are often seen as mitigating risk. After all, many founders and entrepreneurs seek to build relationships with VCs because doing so gives them access to the capital they need to grow their business. For many startups, the ideal investor will act as a strategic partner with the kind of experience, expertise, and connections that can prove invaluable to new and smaller co...

[ad_1] Back when the term “420” was known only to a few cannabis enthusiasts, cannabis blogs were a jumble of product reviews, hazy musings, and pessimistic speculation that kind of seemed to make sense at the time. Today, with legal medical marijuana in 37 states and legal recreational cannabis in 19 states (and the number) cannabis blogs number in the hundreds, with everyone from the High Times to the New York Times weighing in on the state of the cannabis industry. Given that the cannabis market research company BDSA expects cannabis sales In the US to exceed $24 billion in 2021 (up 38% from 2020), the explosion in legitimate and mainstream news and information makes sense. These codes are a far cry from the logical (and grammatical) musings that were challenged at the time prior...

[ad_1] This post is part of a series sponsored by AgentSync. It's almost that time of year again. No, we're not talking about the scary season or the holiday season or even ski season. Believe it or not, we're talking about something even more exciting: Medicare open enrollment season!

So, if you ask us, this...

[ad_1] My first post in this series analyzed the data to show how different business functions (human resources, operations, technology, and sales) view business models differently—and how leaders should consider this when deciding on work-from-home or in-office policies. In this blog, I want to focus again on those four groups, but look at employee feelings and how this can affect employee response to new business models. I will also compare the insurance industry to banking and capital markets, where applicable. Employee support influences business model decisions Part of our back-to-work research involved asking whether employees feel generally supported by their employer in the insurance industry. Across all four categories, the majority said they felt "very well ...

[ad_1] This post is part of a series sponsored by AgentSync. Medicare faces many challenges in the coming years, as regulatory trends, federal funding, and increasing age play a role in the future of the program and its subsidiaries. However, with digital adoption starting sporadic and beginning with Medicare recipients, early rumors that they were going to replace digital producers have faded. In general, the industry understands that there will continue to be a human component in these human actions, but the question arises, what will this role be? With host Dominic DeSico, CEO of Benefit, David Doyle, CEO of Easy Health, CEO of AgentSync and co-founder Neji Sabharwal on June 8, 2022, at the Medicarians session, "Producer Role: The Next Ten Years."

[ad_1] On July 28th, the Commerce Department announced that the US economy had registered a second consecutive quarter of negative growth, meeting the technical definition of a recession. Since then, politicians and economists alike have been debating whether the country is in a full recession or not. Technical definitions aside, the truth is that it feels as if the country has been in an economic downturn for a while now. There is no shortage of reasons why it feels that way. Inflation is up 9.1% year-over-year, the largest increase in 40 years. To combat this rampant inflation, the Fed has increased interest rates at the steepest rate since the 1980s. The markets just experienced the worst first half in over 50 years. It’s no wonder then that only 13% of Americans consider economic co...
