Virtual Care Drives Rise In Addiction Treatment Startup Funding

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
When Hollywood takes on addiction recovery, the script typically conjures up dingy rooms where the down-on-their-luck gather to share their struggles and fears. The prevailing venture-funded model, in contrast, offers little cinematic eye candy. Rather, the focus is mostly on startups where people in treatment message and video chat with care providers and use apps to track prescriptions. Visual appeal aside, there’s plentiful funding to bolster this smartphone-driven vision. Addiction-focused virtual care startups have pulled in hundreds of millions for business models largely based on building offerings scalable enough to meet the massive demand for treatment. Much of the funding…

New Mexico experimented with a basic income program that gave $500 a month to immigrant families. They used the money to pay rent and secure jobs.

New Mexico's basic income pilot set out to fill a gap in America's financial safety net: many immigrants aren't able to access help.Pandemic-era relief was largely restricted to US citizens, leaving undocumented households and families with mixed citizenship status without stimulus, rental assistance, or unemployment checks.With growing economic need, community leaders in New Mexico decided to try a different strategy — no-strings-attached cash payments."Mixed-status immigrant families don't always enjoy the same public benefits that other families and workers do because of their status," Marcela Díaz, executive director of economic justice organization Somos Un Pueblo Unido, told Business Insider.

Putin promises ‘serious consequences’ to ‘small, densely populated’ European countries calling for Ukrainian strikes on Russia

Russian leader Vladimir Putin says European countries should rethink their calls to let Ukraine use Western arms to strike his country."So, these officials from NATO countries, especially the ones based in Europe, particularly in small European countries, should be fully aware of what is at stake," Putin told reporters on Tuesday."They should keep in mind that theirs are small and densely populated countries, which is a factor to reckon with before they start talking about striking deep into the Russian territory," he continued.Putin's warnings come after several European leaders said that Ukraine should be allowed to attack Russian military targets. While Ukraine has been a large beneficiary of Western military…

Fusion Funding Has Fizzled

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
Funding to startups focused on fusion energy has declined sharply in recent quarters after hitting a high two-and-a-half years ago. So far this year, just $58 million has gone to companies innovating around the future of fusion as a potential power source, per Crunchbase data. By contrast, more than $2.4 billion went to the space in the fourth quarter of 2021, the peak period for funding. For a sense of how fusion-focused startup funding has fluctuated, we used Crunchbase data to chart out investment to the space over the past 14 quarters. As you can see, there was something resembling…

EV range is making huge strides, but there still aren’t enough places to charge.

Electric vehicles have come a long way — literally.In the earliest days of the EV transition, a fully battery-powered car (like the first-generation Nissan Leaf that went on sale in 2010) could only drive for about 100 miles on a full charge in the best weather conditions.That's fine for an enthusiastic early adopter or someone looking to replace just one of their multiple gas cars, but it didn't satisfy the average car shopper.Today, a mass-market EV can deliver about 300 miles on a single charge. That's a huge improvement in just 14 years, but the great American road trip is…
