Read previewRe:cap, a German revenue-based financing startup, has raised $14.6 million in Series A funding. Borrowers can use financing on re:cap to borrow up to 5 million euros, or about $5.5 million, over terms of up to five years. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. "Overall, the private debt market is growing tremendously, faster than most if not all alternative asset classes, so the opportunity generally is huge," Paul Becker, CEO and cofounder of Re:cap, told Business Insider. According to Atomico, funding for European startups dropped by 45% year-on-year to $45 billion in 2023, but investment in European fintech dropped well below the wider slump.

Restaurants have traditionally lagged behind other sectors in their adoption of technology, but rising labor costs have changed the narrative. Major food industry players are making strides to invest in innovation, including AI and robotics. While it is still early days, analysts have already identified some companies that are taking the lead.

☆ The scary secret behind the boom in data centers
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Adam Rogers | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

Last year all the data centers in the world had room for 10.1 zettabytes of information — roughly 456 billion Wikipedias. And with the rise of artificial intelligence, which requires vast quantities of data and power, the global capacity of data centers is expected to double by 2027. Data centers are more than just vast digital warehouses. The more data centers those companies have, the more of those services they can offer, and the more storage and number-crunching capacity they can provide. Over time, economists warn, AI startups will inevitably lose out to the tech giants that control the data centers.

☆ Corporations looking at gen AI as a productivity tool are making a mistake
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-31 | by ( Bob Violino | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Part of the slow spending approach is coming from the fact that senior executives are looking at gen AI the wrong way, said Sreekanth Menon, global leader, AI and machine learning at Genpact. The research showed that about half of the executives are framing gen AI solely as a productivity tool. "The infancy of gen AI, combined with a warped conception of its potential, has led to reluctant budgetary spending." The research from Genpact and HFS showed that business leaders are dedicating up to 10% of their IT budgets to gen AI projects. "To successfully move AI from a pilot stage to production, organizations need to pause and ensure their gen AI plan is aligned with specific business objectives, not just productivity," he said.

Washington CNN —The Affordable Connectivity Program, which helped low-income Americans get online, is no more. The program’s lapse threatens to throw nearly 60 million Americans into financial distress, CNN has reported. The program officially ends on June 1, said the Federal Communications Commission, which administered the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to approximately 1 in 5 households across the country and on tribal reservations. “The Affordable Connectivity Program filled an important gap that provider low-income programs, state and local affordability programs, and the Lifeline program cannot fully address,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel in a statement, referring to the name of another, similar FCC program that subsidizes wireless and home internet service. He also announced a series of voluntary commitments by a handful of internet providers to offer — or continue offering — their own proprietary low-income internet plans.
