There’s been a lot of hype about “web3”, but the reality is that it’s still a largely nascent and fragmented concept, and that has led to web3 startups building platforms to engage with it more easily getting a lot of attention. In the latest development, a startup called thirdweb — which has created a development toolkit to make it easier to build and launch web3 products such as blockchain games, NFTs, DAOs, marketplaces and more — has raised $24 million, a

It’s widely known now that our current food production is not adequate enough to keep up with the growing population expected to come in the next three decades, which is why alternative meat products are being developed. But at a time when some food industry startups are trying to remove animals from the food chain, a company tackling the traditional meat industry is a rarity.

Supply chain disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine is driving increased costs of goods and services, affecting not only the industrial sector (e.g., semiconductors), but also the agriculture industry.

More often than not, we revere people who are able to stretch their time to get more accomplished and are deeply devoted to their work. I know this because I experienced it. I was working long shifts—more than 60 hours a week—but I didn’t feel the need to rest until one day, my brain completely shut down, and my body begged for a break. I couldn’t concentrate on my work, and my personal life had taken heavy losses.

When March 2020 rolled around, Jonathan Goldberg figured his new startup, Carbon Direct , was in for a long slog. The COVID pandemic was beginning to upend the world, and it suddenly didn’t seem like a great time to launch a business. “I thought we would have no clients,” he said. He needn’t have worried. Microsoft, which was looking for a company to advise it on its carbon reduction plans, came knocking, and Goldberg had a team with a strong science background ready to go.

I’m not a branding expert. I can recognize, however, that one sets certain expectations by naming a product “Happy Ring.” Mental health is a delicate space, and not something to be taken lightly. As a rule, it’s best to avoid anything that promises to fix you without the requisite talk therapy and, perhaps, medication. No wearable is going to replace that — certainly not during our lifetimes.

While venture totals are off sharply from records set last year, evidence is accumulating that 2022 is more of a return to an elevated baseline than a historic collapse. According to a review of a Crunchbase dataset tracking funding for unicorn companies — private startups worth $1 billion or more as of their most recent funding round — it’s clear that investors are still paying amply for unicorn equity.
