News Picks of the Week 🤓 🚀
Pick #1
Our 30-Second Summary:
Ahoy there! Picture this: a cargo ship like no other, kitted out with massive, cutting-edge British-designed sails, is embarking on its very first adventure. Who's behind this maritime marvel? It's Cargill, the ingenious shipping firm that's steering towards a greener future.
These WindWings sails aren't just eye-catching; they're on a mission to slash fuel consumption and shrink shipping's carbon footprint.
With the shipping world contributing about 2.1% of the planet's CO2 emissions, this high-seas innovation promises a swashbuckling solution to make waves in the quest for sustainability!

Pick #2
Our 30-Second Summary:
Back in 2018, Adyen, the Dutch payments dynamo, leapt onto the Amsterdam stock exchange with all the excitement of a rollercoaster ride. They were riding high, outshining their American rival, PayPal, and gobbling up competitors left and right.
But the journey got wilder! A pesky pandemic hit, putting a dent in their travel-related transactions.
Undaunted, Adyen charged into North America, party central for their top-notch merchants. They even brought in a troop of new team members to turbocharge their growth.
Fast forward to 2023, and the plot thickens. The economy's dance moves changed, throwing a curveball at Adyen's grand strategy. Cue dramatic music: their shares nosedived 39%, like a thrill ride gone wrong, vaporizing a whopping $20 billion from their value! Ouch! And the wild ride wasn't over; their stock took another 2.9% dip the next day.
Hold on to your hats, folks, Adyen's adventure continues! 🎢💰

Pick #3
A Liquor Store Without a Cashier - GeekWire
Our 30-Second Summary:
Hold onto your margaritas because Amazon's "Just Walk Out" magic has hit the liquor store scene! Picture this: Downtown Spirits, a stone's throw from Amazon's turf, now boasts a 4,200 sq-ft playground of techy wonders. No more checkout lines—overhead cameras do the tango, tracking tipsy shoppers.
But wait, there's a twist!
Before waltzing in, you've got to download the app, spill your credit card secrets, and join their membership party. A brave new world, indeed! Some fled the tech maze, but others? They're sippin' tequila and embracing the futuristic fiesta! 🍻🛒🎉

When we featured Uber back in 2010, Founder Travis Kalanick might have still been your driver.
Uber went on to raise their first $1.6MM 3 months after we featured them. $4.9B later, we are still proud to have discovered them.
