Promotional image from Toss Bank announcing Viva Republica's acquisition of Merchant Korea [VIVA REPUBLICA] Banks are getting into the mobile phone business in order to harvest more data from customers and keep customers on their apps. They are entering telecommunications as mobile virtual network operators (MVNO), which lease capacity from carriers and offer discounted telecommunications services. Traditional banks and internet-only banks are getting into the game. "The data we can get as a financial company and the data we can obtain from offering telecommunications services are different," said Hur Woong, a spokesperson for KB Kookmin Bank. "KB aims to offer more sophisticated financial products based on the collected mobile usage data." Viva Republica, operator of internet-only Toss Bank, announced on July 21 it signed a deal to acquire Merchant Korea, an MVNO, for 300 billion won ($230 million).

National Women’s Soccer League Business 2021 In Review
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s been a deeply consequential year for women’s soccer in the United States, one that will reverberate for years to come in a variety of ways. From shiny new sponsorship deals — this week, Crypto.com partnering with Angel City FC, but that is merely the latest — to high-profile owners and a newly-empowered union, the NWSL of today bears little resemblance to the league we knew just a year ago. Let’s take a look back at what’s happened, and what it will mean for 2022. In January, Naomi Osaka was announced as a new owner of the North Carolina Courage. “There are a multitude of reasons why Osaka in the women’s soccer orbit matters. Osaka’s efforts off the field on racial justice fit within the NWSL’s mission in this regard. And there’s the star factor, too: Osaka only amplifies the reach of her new team — Osaka is north of 824,000 Twitter followers, for instance, while the Courage are at 34,000.” Osaka’s … [Read more...] about National Women’s Soccer League Business 2021 In Review

The ‘Big Moment’ For U.S. Healthcare
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Troy Bannister is the CEO and co-founder of Particle Health . Troy has 15 years of healthcare experience as an EMT, researcher and investor. When I started Particle Health four-plus years ago, the picture I had in my head was simple: I wanted to download an app and easily pull all of my medical records into it. Thinking about all the things developers could build on top of our medical records ushers a sense of mega potential in an industry that is unnecessarily burning cash and time everywhere we look. It happened in finance when Plaid enabled apps like Venmo, Mint and Robinhood—so why don’t we make it happen in healthcare? But still, years later, we continue to wait. I attend weekly calls with policymakers, stakeholders and other entrepreneurs talking around the problem we so desperately need to solve, and I wonder, "How is it that we can entangle quantum particles or connect ultra-high-speed internet through … [Read more...] about The ‘Big Moment’ For U.S. Healthcare
