And that really, for tech, is going to determine what matters," he told Business Insider. "That was a clear effort to court business and tech," Tusk said. "That was really eye-opening, because that is not usually thought of as a business issue, it's thought of as a social issue," Snyder told Business Insider. But business and tech leaders will be looking at more than just policy on Tuesday night. AdvertisementLarsen believes that Harris may be able to provide the country with the reset that he and other business leaders are looking for.

Read previewWith the Ozempic craze in full swing, investors are getting picky about the weight-loss startups they want to back. Kaganoff predicted that in the new year some startups prescribing GLP-1s would invest more money in studies using real-world evidence to show their programs work. And despite the Ozempic frenzy, weight-loss startups captured a tiny fraction of the money invested this year. Investors had put about $211 million toward weight-loss startups through mid-November, representing about 3% of digital-health funding over that period, according to PitchBook. Alfie HealthSome unlikely sectors of the healthcare industry stand to benefit from the growth of the weight-loss market.

☆ The billionaire CEO of a top biotech VC firm details how a new type of AI could transform how we test and discover treatments

Afeyan is the CEO and founder of Flagship Pioneering, the venture firm behind Moderna. Flagship has in its portfolio multiple companies using AI in areas like drug discovery and testing. The Flagship method for company building starts with a vague "what if" question, and if the idea survives testing, it's unveiled to the public, Afeyan told Insider in 2021. Afeyan isn't alone in predicting that generative AI is gearing up to play a bigger role in healthcare. Morgan Cheatham, a vice president at Bessemer Venture Partners, told Insider he predicted generative AI would result in more than $1 trillion in value for the healthcare industry by 2040.
☆ 33 healthcare and biotech startups investors expect to take off in 2023

Funding raised: $27 millionNumber of employees: 20Why it's set to take off next year: Provider burnout is getting worse, and it's exacerbating healthcare's staffing crisis. Nof said he expected Abridge's technology to be in demand next year as hospitals worked to reduce the administrative burdens on doctors. "They've reached a tipping point where people are desperate to gain efficiencies in their workday with all the physician burnout," he said. Abridge's technology takes the audio from doctor-patient interactions and automatically turns it into documentation for billing purposes or a summary of the visit for the patient. That means doctors are relieved of the "hours of pajama time in the evening that they previously spent doing clinical documentation," Cheatham said.
☆ After FTX's collapse, an SEC commissioner says crypto is worsening finance's existing flaws, while investors look for answers on regulatory concerns
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( April Joyner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Investors told Insider that they welcome regulation and more guidance at the federal level. In Lizárraga's view, many crypto companies have not only replicated the flaws of the traditional finance industry, but they've made them worse by operating in a regulatory gray area. Instead, crypto companies can protect both themselves and their customers by embracing regulation rather than seeking to sidestep it, he said. She decided to partner with the fintech company Apex for Zingeroo's crypto offering rather than a pure-play crypto exchange because she felt more confident that Apex would follow proper compliance. But others, including some venture capitalists, have suggested that federal regulators have not provided enough clarity to crypto companies.
