Hello reader,
One of the fun things about working in the tech and startup space is looking at all the exciting new innovations that companies are coming up with.
Among today’s top-funded firms, we’ve got a company that’s trying to make AI accessible through a no-code platform, a startup focused on payments for Web3, and another that develops urine tests for pet owners to monitor pets’ health at home.
These things certainly didn’t exist 10 years ago – as a matter of fact, I don’t think we’d have been able to fathom what they were trying to do back then. It’s a pretty exciting world we live in, eh?
