First Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against University of Michigan for Massive Privacy Breach Affecting Thousands of Female Athletes

Stinar Gould Grieco & Hensley, PLLC has filed the first class action lawsuit against the University of Michigan, the Regents of the University of Michigan, Matthew Weiss, and Keffer Development Services, LLC, alleging a massive breach of privacy affecting over 3,300 individuals, primarily female student-athletes.

The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Case No. 2:25-cv-10806), alleges that defendants allowed unauthorized access to sensitive personal information, private photographs, and videos of thousands of student-athletes.

According to the complaint, Matthew Weiss, a former University of Michigan employee, allegedly accessed—without authorization—the social media accounts, emails, cloud storage, and personal information of thousands of female student-athletes over approximately eight years (2015-2023). The complaint alleges that Weiss targeted female athletes and downloaded private photographs and videos that were never intended to be shared beyond the plaintiffs' intimate partners.

"This case represents one of the most significant breaches of student-athlete privacy in recent memory," said Parker Stinar, lead attorney for the plaintiffs.

"Our clients placed their trust in the University of Michigan and its vendors, only to have their most personal and private information compromised due to what we allege was negligence and recklessness."

The lawsuit alleges that the University of Michigan, its Regents, and Keffer Development Services failed to implement adequate security measures, proper supervision, or employee monitoring that would have protected the plaintiffs' privacy.

According to the complaint, Weiss allegedly:

  • Gained unauthorized access to student-athlete databases maintained by Keffer Development Services
  • Downloaded personally identifiable information (PII) and medical data of more than 150,000 athletes
  • Obtained passwords used by athletes to access computer systems
  • Used this access to download private photographs and videos

The lawsuit includes claims for violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Stored Communications Act, Title IX, and various state laws involving invasion of privacy, negligence, and conversion.

The plaintiffs are seeking damages exceeding $100 million, along with costs, interest, and attorney fees. The class action complaint seeks to represent all persons whose personal information, images, data, social media, or videos were accessed by Weiss without authorization.

"This lawsuit is not only about seeking justice for those whose information was stolen but also about forcing the University of Michigan to confront its systemic failures and ensure such breaches never happen again. The case will hold the institution accountable for its lack of appropriate safeguards and transparency regarding the security of its student-athletes’ personal and medical data.

In the face of such violations, SGGH is committed to turning over every stone in our pursuit of justice. Through litigation, we will uncover the flaws in Michigan’s cyber security protocols that led to this massive breach, and demand real change to protect vulnerable individuals from similar harms in the future.

We will fight relentlessly to secure justice for all those affected." said Parker Stinar, lead attorney for the plaintiffs. 

This case highlights the growing concern around data privacy and the security of personal information in the digital age, particularly in university settings where students entrust institutions with their personal data.

ValueTheMarkets Insights: While Big Pharma Stalls, One Small-Cap Breaks Out

ValueTheMarkets, a trusted resource for retail investors offering financial news, in-depth analysis, and investment insights, today shared insights into small-cap biotech stocks.

In a year where the S&P 500 has slipped -1.78% and biotech giants like Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) are under pressure, Medicus Pharma (NASDAQ: MDCX) is breaking away from the pack. The stock has surged 32% year-to-date, outperforming Eli Lilly’s (NYSE: LLY) respectable 9.55% gain and leaving Novo’s -15.9% slide far behind. But it’s not chasing blockbuster weight loss drugs—it’s targeting a radically different frontier: non-invasive skin cancer treatment. 

The market's attention remains fixated on obesity drugs, but that trade is looking tired. Novo’s drop reflects valuation fatigue. Lilly’s gains are narrowing. Small-cap biotech moves fast when the story clicks. 

Medicus Pharma Ltd (NASDAQ: MDCX) is developing the SkinJect D-MNA patch for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (1), a proprietary microneedle array that is a non-invasive, painless, and cost-effective alternative to Mohs surgery, the current standard of care. A small, thumb-sized microneedle patch is applied to the skin over the BCC lesion. The patch is painless and easy to administer in a doctor’s office and can be applied during just three weekly 30-minute visits over 2 weeks. This has the potential to provide a simple and affordable solution to BCC patients seeking better treatment options. With over 5 million BCC cases diagnosed annually in the U.S., Medicus Pharma targets a $2 billion share of the $15 billion North American skin cancer market. Its SkinJect patch has projected development costs of $75–$100 million, far below the $648 million industry average (2). Priced at around $1,000, it offers a cost-effective alternative to Mohs surgery ($1,800–$2,500) (3).

Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) just struck a big deal with a Chinese drugmaker, The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited, to license a new weight-loss and diabetes drug, UBT251 (4). The deal could be worth up to $2 billion, with $200 million paid upfront and the rest tied to performance milestones. Novo will also pay royalties if the drug sells well outside of China. United Laboratories retains rights in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, while Novo Nordisk holds exclusive rights elsewhere. Novo Nordisk's new weight-loss drug CagriSema showed 15.7% weight loss in patients with Type 2 diabetes in its most recent trial (5). While effective, the results came in below some analyst expectations, contributing to a negative market reaction.

Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) is set to release key results this year from late-stage trials of its experimental weight-loss pill, orforglipron (6). These results are highly anticipated, as the once-daily pill could offer a needle-free option for treating obesity and diabetes. If successful, it may expand access for patients globally and ease supply issues affecting injectable treatments. The pill could also strengthen Eli Lilly’s lead in the fast-growing weight-loss drug market as competitors rush to catch up. Meanwhile, Lilly has recently expanded its cancer drug pipeline by acquiring an experimental PI3K inhibitor from Scorpion Therapeutics (7). This drug, STX-678, targets PI3Ka mutations common in breast, gynecological, and head and neck cancers.

Both Novo and Lilly are now advancing next-generation GLP-1-based therapies, including Novo’s newly licensed UBT251 and Lilly’s injectable retatrutide. Early data from UBT251 show promising double-digit weight loss over a short treatment window, though Lilly’s drug has demonstrated even greater efficacy over longer trials. While Lilly continues to deepen its presence in both obesity and oncology, Novo remains more narrowly focused, with only a limited footprint beyond its core metabolic disease portfolio. The weight-loss space is increasingly defined by heavyweight competition—and fewer fresh angles.

In markets weighed down by macro fatigue and sector rotation, attention gravitates toward headline-grabbing giants, and small caps often get overlooked—until they don’t. While the biggest names fight to meet sky-high expectations, smaller players can deliver outsized returns simply by executing well on underappreciated ideas. These companies don’t need to dominate a $100 billion category to reward investors—they just need to solve a real problem, move quickly, and fly under the radar long enough for the story to catch up to the fundamentals. That’s how some of this year’s most surprising outperformers have pulled well ahead of the S&P 500, which remains down nearly 2% year-to-date. While broader markets churn, select small-cap biotech names are showing that meaningful innovation still gets rewarded. As the weight-loss drug trade gets crowded and priced in, this could be the moment to look beyond the usual suspects.

Discover more about Medicus Pharma and its plans to commercialize its non-invasive SkinJect patch for BCC.

ValueTheMarkets Insights: Healthcare Climbs as Tech Stumbles in 2025 Shift

ValueTheMarkets, a trusted resource for retail investors offering financial news, in-depth analysis, and investment insights, today shared insights into the divergence in performance between the tech and healthcare sectors.

Year-to-date, the S&P 500 Information Technology Index has dropped -7.56%, signaling a pause in the multi-year rally that carried names like Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: AVGO) and ServiceNow Inc (NYSE: NOW) to new highs. These long-time favorites delivered consistent gains over the past five years, but 2025 has brought a shift. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Health Care Index has climbed 6.04%, supported by renewed interest in biotech and other speculative segments. Investors appear to be rotating into sectors with perceived upside from innovation and pipeline potential, even as traditional tech leaders face profit-taking and valuation concerns. One early standout in this rotation is Medicus Pharma (NASDAQ: MDCX), which has gained 32.1% year-to-date. This momentum reflects a growing appetite for small-cap names with promising clinical assets and strong catalysts in the quarters ahead.

This divergence between tech and healthcare highlights a broader market reassessment of risk and growth. Investors who once chased margin expansion and cloud-driven revenue in tech are now eyeing the asymmetric upside in clinical-stage biotech and emerging healthcare platforms. While tech giants grapple with elevated expectations and compressed multiples, health care offers a different kind of narrative—one centered on breakthrough therapies, regulatory milestones, and long-term demographic demand. The capital rotation suggests that risk-on sentiment hasn't disappeared; it's just finding new avenues where innovation feels underpriced and progress is more tangible.

Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) is one little-known micro-cap making strides with its innovative SkinJect microneedle patch for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (1). Currently in Phase 2 trials and already showing promising interim results (2), the SkinJect patch offers patients a painless, cost-effective alternative to invasive Mohs surgery. The treatment targets a lucrative $7B market and is on track to potentially secure FDA Fast-Track designation within months. Medicus aims to grow its pipeline through acquisitions and partnerships to deliver innovative products with strong commercial potential. The company has no long-term debt and a deep commitment to treat shareholders equally.

Broadcom Inc’s (NASDAQ: AVGO) nearly 19% stock decline year-to-date reflects a mix of industry pressure and company-specific concerns. The broader tech sector has come under strain as recession fears and shifting U.S. policy drive a pullback in high-growth names. Investors have also grown cautious about Broadcom’s AI position amid rising competition from low-cost model developers like DeepSeek, which could reduce demand for its high-end chips. Manufacturing concerns have surfaced as Broadcom reportedly tests Intel’s production, raising doubts given Intel’s output issues. These headwinds have overshadowed strong Q1 results (3), with 25% revenue growth and solid AI-related gains. In March, Broadcom disclosed four major VMware security flaws. Three were actively exploited zero-days; another allowed low-level users to gain elevated access on virtual machines (4). These incidents have sparked concerns about ongoing cybersecurity risks tied to VMware, a key part of Broadcom’s enterprise software portfolio.

ServiceNow Inc (NYSE: NOW) has faced several headwinds this year that have put downward pressure on its stock. The company reported softer-than-expected subscription revenue growth for 2025 (5), which was influenced by negative currency exchange rates and a slower revenue recognition tied to its shift toward a consumption-based pricing model for its new AI products. In addition, its federal business remains concentrated towards the end of the year, which affects the timing of revenue recognition and contributes to the guidance coming in below analyst consensus. These factors have dampened investor sentiment, with the stock declining nearly 19% year-to-date despite underlying business strengths.

The contrasting trajectories between tech and health care underscore a broader market rotation, with investors seeking growth in areas less exposed to cyclical headwinds and more aligned with innovation-driven upside. While once-reliable names like Broadcom and ServiceNow contend with shifting business dynamics and valuation resets, emerging players in health care are capturing attention with disruptive platforms and near-term catalysts. As capital flows follow conviction, the spotlight appears to be shifting toward companies offering clinical innovation, operational discipline, and strategic agility in a changing market landscape.

The biotech industry thrives on innovation, and some companies stand out for their unique approach to treating high-demand conditions.

Zaminer Unveils 2025 Cloud Mining Vision: Simplifying Bitcoin Mining for All

As the cryptocurrency market continues its rapid expansion, Zaminer has unveiled ambitious plans for 2025, aiming to make Bitcoin mining more accessible to both beginners and experienced investors. While over 95% of all Bitcoins are already in circulation, more than 1 million coins remain to be mined. With approximately 450 Bitcoins mined daily by around 1 million unique miners, demand for innovative mining solutions is higher than ever.

The global crypto-mining industry, valued at $2.5 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $8.2 billion by 2034, driven by increasing institutional investments and mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. Cloud mining is expected to dominate the industry, with analysts predicting it will account for over 60% of market share in the next decade. Positioned at the forefront of this evolution, Zaminer has already attracted over 3.7 million users worldwide with its user-friendly cloud mining platform.

Zaminer: Simplifying Cryptocurrency Mining

Zaminer is a regulatory-compliant cloud mining platform designed to democratize Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining. Traditionally, mining required extensive technical expertise and costly infrastructure. Zaminer removes these barriers, allowing users to deposit funds, select a mining contract, and start earning rewards—no specialized hardware or knowledge required.

To date, Zaminer has facilitated over $628 million in mined cryptocurrency, making it a lucrative option for passive income. With contracts ranging from $30 to $500,000, the platform accommodates investors of all levels. Users begin earning profits within 24 hours of contract activation, with the initial investment returned at the contract’s conclusion or reinvested for greater returns.

Why Zaminer Stands Out in 2025

Zaminer has established itself as a premier cloud mining platform, offering robust security, high profitability, and user-centric features. Even during economic downturns, investors continue to generate passive income, with some contracts yielding daily returns of up to $12,900. Key differentiators include:

  • Effortless Onboarding and Bonuses: New users can sign up quickly on Zaminer’s official website without requiring hardware or technical expertise. First-time users receive a $100 bonus, and the platform supports multiple accounts for diversified investments.
  • Expert Support and Guidance: Zaminer’s team of blockchain and IT specialists provides professional advice and cutting-edge technology to maximize mining rewards. A 24/7 customer support team ensures users receive assistance in selecting the best contracts.
  • Advanced Security Measures: Partnering with cybersecurity leaders like Cloudflare®, Zaminer prioritizes the safety of users’ funds. All assets are stored in offline cold wallets, minimizing risks from cyber threats.
  • Lucrative Referral Program: Zaminer’s affiliate program rewards users who introduce new miners to the platform. For example, five active referrals earn $100, while 100 active referrals can generate up to $1,800 in bonuses.

Zaminer’s Mining Contracts

Zaminer offers a range of contracts tailored to different investment levels and durations:

  • Contract price: $100; Duration: 1 day; Fixed income: $100 + $2; Daily rate: 2%
  • Contract price: $200; Duration: 2 days; Fixed income: $200 + $14; Daily rate: 3.5%
  • Contract price: $500; Duration: 3 days; Fixed income: $500 + $27; Daily rate: 1.8%
  • Contract price: $1,200; Duration: 5 days; Fixed income: $1,200 + $111; Daily rate: 1.85%
  • Contract price: $2,500; Duration: 10 days; Fixed income: $2,500 + $475; Daily rate: 1.9%
  • Contract price: $5,000; Duration: 14 days; Fixed income: $5,000 + $1,365; Daily rate: 1.95%
  • Contract price: $10,000; Duration: 16 days; Fixed income: $10,000 + $3,200; Daily rate: 2%

Sustainability and Innovation in Crypto Mining

As the crypto-mining industry evolves, sustainability has become a critical focus. Zaminer is leading the transition to eco-friendly mining by adopting green energy solutions that minimize environmental impact. By leveraging next-generation technologies to optimize energy consumption, Zaminer is setting new standards for responsible and sustainable mining practices.

Michael VanPatten’s “Roswell Flying Crane over the Waterfalls” Selected for Prestigious Art of Georgia Exhibit

Artist, technologist, and entrepreneur Michael VanPatten has announced that his wildlife photography piece, Roswell Flying Crane Over the Waterfalls, has been selected for display in the upcoming Art of Georgia exhibit. The piece will be showcased at either the State Capitol or the Governor’s Mansion, where it will remain on view as part of the exhibition running from January 2025 through December 2026.

VanPatten’s work was chosen through the Art of Georgia contest, organized by the Georgia Council for the Arts, which highlights artwork showcasing the state’s landscapes and natural beauty. His winning piece is one of 47 selected for the exhibition, following a review process that involved the governor and his staff evaluating numerous submissions.

Roswell Flying Crane Over the Waterfalls is a striking composition capturing a blue heron in mid-flight above a cascading waterfall in Roswell, Georgia. The image balances movement and serenity, with the heron’s outstretched wings mirroring the graceful flow of water beneath it. The scene evokes a sense of freedom and tranquility, drawing viewers into a moment of stillness.

“It’s truly an honor to have my work recognized. Having my piece selected by the governor and displayed in such a prominent setting is an unexpected and humbling achievement,” VanPatten said. “I don’t usually enter competitions, but I saw this as an opportunity to share my perspective on Georgia’s beauty.”

VanPatten has spent years capturing landscapes, wildlife, and cityscapes, developing a unique eye for composition. After a career in technology, finance, and marketing, he returned to art full time, blending traditional photography with AI-driven enhancements to create images that challenge perception and engage viewers in new ways. His work explores surrealism, depth, and movement, utilizing digital tools to refine and elevate his original photographs.

VanPatten aims to continue breaking artistic barriers and invites viewers to experience his work with an immersive lens as Roswell Flying Crane Over the Waterfalls prepares for its unveiling.

Wallester Celebrates Record Growth in 2024

Wallester, the Estonian-based digital finance leader specialising in innovative digital financial solutions and card issuance, announced the conclusion of a transformative year marked by unprecedented growth and strategic market expansion across Europe, reflecting the growing demand for innovative payment solutions in the FinTech sector.

Robust Financial Performance

Financially, the firm demonstrated impressive performance. Unaudited revenue for the year reached €17.2M, representing an 87% Year-over-Year (YoY) increase. These figures underscore the company’s robust financial health and operational efficiency.

Under the leadership of CEO and co-founder Sergei Astafjev, the organisation achieved exceptional growth across its business segments. Specifically, unaudited revenue reached €17.2M, marking an 87% YoY increase. Within this, Wallester White-Label revenue grew to €8.5M, a 70% YoY rise, while Wallester Business revenue doubled to €8.6M, reflecting an impressive 109% YoY growth.

Annualised Run Rate (ARR) also saw a significant boost, reaching €26.3M, representing a 98% YoY increase.

EBITDA surged from a deficit of €-0.5M to a positive €3.4M, marking an astonishing 800% YoY growth. Similarly, net profit increased dramatically from €-0.6M in 2023 to €2.3M in 2024, representing an extraordinary 457% YoY improvement. These financial metrics highlight the company's ability to navigate challenges while maintaining strong growth trajectories and enhancing profitability.

Geographic Expansion

One of the most notable events of 2024 occurred in March when the company received a cross-border activity license from the Estonian Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA), allowing the company to extend its services to the United Kingdom. As the first Estonian company to secure such a license post-Brexit, Wallester is uniquely positioned to tap into one of the world’s premier financial hubs. The UK team, led by CEO Julian Brand and supported by Group Chief Risk Officer Anna Maxim, is set to drive further success in this new market.

Meanwhile, Wallester continued its geographic expansion with the official opening of a new office in Riga, Latvia, in October. This move strengthens the company’s ability to serve clients in the Baltic region and beyond, enhancing its infrastructure and offering additional resources to fuel business growth.

Client Acquisition and Partnerships

The company also welcomed 2,250 new clients and issued over 1,000,000 cards during the year. These clients span diverse sectors, including travel businesses, payment service providers, large corporations, fintechs, governmental providers, and many others. The range and scale of industries reinforce the company’s unwavering belief in its market fit and leading position within the sector.

Award-Winning Year

Wallester was named the top startup in Estonia at the Äripäev TOP100 Gala, secured the 5th spot in the Sifted 30 Eastern Europe & Baltics Leaderboard, and was named the Best FinTech Partner at the 2024 FinTech Awards Europe and Best Enterprise Software Solution by SaaStock. The company also secured a spot on the iconic Estonian Mafia Wall of Fame at LIFT99 Tallinn Hub.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we look towards 2025, plans are in place to expand its business to new countries, grow its team significantly, and bring in fresh ideas and experts to support its roadmap. Astafjev commented “Reflecting on 2024, I am filled with great pride at how our team dealt with numerous challenges and showed creativity and determination. We never stopped believing in our ability to deliver exceptional solutions. Thank you to every business that chose Wallester as their partner. We look forward to continuing our upward trajectory in 2025 and delivering even better results.”

Homeowners Control Their Home’s Online Presence with Unlisted

In today’s digital world, homeowners have little control over how their home appears on real estate platforms—until now. Unlisted, the world’s leading platform for off-market real estate, is the only real estate platform that allows homeowners to manage their home’s digital presence, ensuring their property is accurately represented, whether they’re selling soon or not.

Most real estate websites rely on old listing data and photos from when the home was sold by the previous owners, leaving the current homeowners with little control over how their home is presented online. Unlisted changes that by creating a customizable property profile for every home in the country. Homeowners have direct control over their property profile, allowing them to:

  • Add current photos: Upload high-quality images that truly reflect their home today.
  • Write their own description: Highlight their home’s best features and unique qualities in their own words.
  • Log home improvements and maintenance (coming soon): Keep track of upgrades, repairs, and key maintenance history—because homeowners deserve credit for being good stewards of their property.

“We live in a digital age. The ability to track and display accurate data about our most important asset, our home, translates to real value. If two homes are otherwise similar, but one has consistently updated their home data over time and the other hasn’t, the former is more desirable. We are empowering homeowners to drive the value for their property digitally, even if they’re not selling today,” says Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted.

By updating their home’s information on Unlisted, homeowners can gauge buyer interest and stay informed about potential demand, helping them feel prepared when the time comes to sell. Whether they’re simply exploring their options or considering an off-market sale, Unlisted gives them the insights they need—without the pressure of a public listing.

Unlisted is an AI-powered real estate technology platform designed to reveal off-market property opportunities.

Building Wealth: Marc Henn's New Book Asks, 'Are You Playing Small or Taking the Power Plays?'

Power Plays of the Wealthy: How to Retire Early, Supercharge Your Cash Flow, and Minimize Taxes is the title of Harvest Financial Advisors' founder and CEO Marc Henn’s new book, in which Henn argues that the cards are stacked against members of the middle class who want to attain financial freedom but who don’t understand how the wealthy invest.

While financial and tax advisors often provide advice focused on investments and tax filing, Marc Henn, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) professional, seeks to peel back the curtain to reveal how the wealthy invest across multiple asset classes and strategically layer those investments to minimize taxes, generate cash flow, and build their assets. "These strategies don’t have to remain a mystery," Henn explains. "Anyone can use one or all of these strategies to grow their own wealth."

Breaking Out of the Middle Class

With 35 years of experience in finance, Marc Henn’s passion has always been helping others build generational wealth. As a young man, Henn participated in the AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge, landing among the top 50 participants in the nation. He founded Harvest Financial Advisors in 2008, headquartered in Cincinnati, OH, and for nearly 17 years has served as the firm’s CEO. During those years, Henn says, “I have recognized that the financial industry does a poor job serving clients that have between $10 million and $200 million in assets.”

Henn founded Harvest to help transition traditional wealth management clients into multi-family office clients. Many self-made entrepreneurs, small business owners, and successful executives acquire significant wealth without acquiring the investment and tax strategies that the truly wealthy use to maintain and grow their wealth across generations. That’s where Henn hopes to make a difference, both with his financial planning firm and his book.

The 3 Power Plays of the Wealthy

In Power Plays of the Wealthy, Henn draws attention to three overarching strategies that the wealthy employ. The first involves recognizing the five super asset classes that wealthy investors use and the unique tax strategies that come with these. The second is to become a producer first so that you can maximize your cash flow. The third is to minimize your taxes to help you build your financial legacy.

“One strategy the wealthy use are tax incentives to provide services for people, like housing and energy,” Henn shares, “—and this in turn builds more wealth for them. You, as a citizen of this great country, are participating in this whether you choose to or not. Either you are using the financial strategies and tax incentives to build your wealth, or your taxes are used to fund this for others.”

Not Just Strategy But Mindset

Building wealth requires more than just uncovering these power plays, however. It also requires a particular mindset and a willingness to stay the course with a chosen strategy. One anecdote that Henn shares in his book illustrates how easily fear or greed can derail a great strategy. Marc shares how, when he was nine, President Jimmy Carter’s brother, Billy, a man with a more “colorful” public persona, used his presidential brother’s fame to sell many cans of his company’s Billy Beer. 

Henn, despite his young age, was collecting beer cans, and he acquired two Billy Beer cans. When Billy Beer stopped producing in 1978, the price of the cans shot up, and he received an offer of $500 for his two cans. His father advised waiting for a higher price, believing the cans would only increase in value.

Unfortunately, Billy Beer cans were not collectibles for very long. The president of a beer can collectibles group declared that the cans were not unique. After that, the Billy Beer cans dropped in value overnight to the price of tin, a few cents per pound. Ruefully, Marc recalls, “Greed stole $500 from a pre-teen boy in Indiana.”

Those who build wealth master a strategy and don’t sacrifice it to short-term impulses of fear or avarice. Then, they master another strategy and another after that. Now, Marc Henn hopes that his book, Power Plays of the Wealthy, will provide successful executives and business owners with the tools to do the same, taking their wealth-building to a different level and changing the trajectory of their financial lives and legacies.

He is also a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Arbitrator, a member of the American Numismatic Association, and a former member of the National Association of Forensic Economics and Economics Center for Education and Research. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Economics from Purdue University in 1990.

Henn's journey into the finance world began in high school, then progressed as he participated in the AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge and landed among the top 50 nationwide.

Revolutionizing Sourdough: GE Appliances’ Innovation Hub, FirstBuild, and King Arthur Baking Company Unveil the Sourdough Sidekick

FirstBuild, the cocreation community of GE Appliances, a Haier company, and King Arthur Baking Company, America's most trusted baking company, today announced the launch and pre-sale availability of the Sourdough Sidekick. The Sourdough Sidekick automatically feeds and builds sourdough starter, freeing sourdough baking enthusiasts from the chore of starter maintenance. This partnership brings together two of America's oldest companies to solve one of home baking’s most persistent and age-old challenges: maintaining a healthy, consistent sourdough starter, the foundation of amazing homemade sourdough bread.

“At GE Appliances and FirstBuild, open innovation is the key to unlocking consumer needs and transforming them into groundbreaking solutions,” said GE Appliances CEO Kevin Nolan. “By listening to our customers and collaborating with enthusiasts, we are innovating the future of what’s next for the home."

Sourdough is on the rise

Sourdough baking is surging—60% of bread bakers now maintain an active starter, according to King Arthur’s 2024 Bread Baking Survey. In the past year alone, King Arthur’s sourdough content drew 18.4 million views, with its Sourdough Starter recipe leading the way with 1.3 million views—the most popular recipe of the year. King Arthur’s Fresh Sourdough Starter is also its top-selling direct-to-consumer item, highlighting how many bakers are beginning their sourdough journey. As more bakers embrace naturally leavened bread, sourdough inquiries continue to flood King Arthur’s Baker’s Hotline—proof that while enthusiasm is high, so are the questions around starter care.

With its smart feeding system, the Sourdough Sidekick eliminates the chore of daily starter maintenance, the top frustration of sourdough bakers. The Sourdough Sidekick’s unique “Auto” mode enables bakers to tell it how much starter their recipe needs and when they need it, down to the day and hour. Fill the flour and water hoppers, add a seed amount, then the Sourdough Sidekick does the rest without requiring discard for up to seven days.

Launched in 2014 as an experiment to see if product innovation could happen faster in the open than behind closed doors, FirstBuild has helped renew the pace of innovation for GE Appliances. FirstBuild has been behind significant commercial successes like the viral Opal Nugget Ice Maker—now the bestselling small appliance for GE Appliances and primary driver for GE Appliances’ re-entry into the small appliances category in 2020 to the revolutionary GE Profile™ Smart Indoor Smoker.

"The Sourdough Sidekick exemplifies what FirstBuild is all about—bringing together passionate communities to build innovative products that solve real needs faced by consumers," said FirstBuild President André Zdanow. "By combining our hardware innovation expertise with King Arthur Baking Company's centuries of baking knowledge, we've created a solution that eliminates the demanding daily maintenance schedule while making sourdough more accessible even when life gets busy, and respecting the overall craft. This is cocreation at its finest—turning community feedback and needs into products that truly enhance people's lives."

King Arthur Baking Company, founded in 1790, brings over two centuries of baking expertise to the collaboration.

“For over 230 years, King Arthur Baking has been at the heart of home baking, and sourdough is one of its most rewarding traditions,” said Karen Colberg, CEO of King Arthur Baking Company. “We’ve helped generations of bakers master the art of maintaining a sourdough starter, and with the Sourdough Sidekick, we’re building on that expertise. This innovation makes sourdough more accessible—whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out. Our mission has always been to inspire the joy of baking and support bakers at every level, and we’re thrilled to partner with FirstBuild to offer a smart, simple way to care for a sourdough starter.”

Key features of the Sourdough Sidekick include:

  • “Auto” mode that feeds and builds recipe-ready starter with minimal supervision and no discard required for up to seven days
  • “Custom” mode for experienced bakers to conquer scheduling concerns while maintaining preferred feeding ratios and frequency
  • Temperature sensing that adjusts feeding based on environment
  • Designed for use with included, easy-to-clean King Arthur Baking Company-branded glass crock

The Sourdough Sidekick launches today on Indiegogo, with the product expected to begin shipping to backers in January 2026. To learn more and pre-order the Sourdough Sidekick, visit: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sourdough-sidekick

This breakthrough enables teams to achieve significant productivity gains while lowering operational costs. In addition, builds are split across both proprietary infrastructure and several leading commercial clouds, ensuring that resources are dynamically allocated to meet peak demands, regardless of workload fluctuations.

Expanding beyond its flagship CI runners, WarpBuild recently introduced Helios—a next-generation, agentic workflow definition and automation product tailored for developers. Recognizing that over a third of developers’ time is consumed by process-oriented tasks, Helios automates these workflows with a design built from the ground up for collaboration and the ability to run anywhere, from local environments to any cloud platform. Powered by a custom workflow engine and an in-house developed agent framework, Helios balances performance and flexibility to meet diverse engineering needs. Currently in closed beta, Helios invites select teams to experience its transformative automation capabilities while providing valuable feedback to further refine its features.

"We are building the future of AI-native engineering and developer collaboration," added Oruganti. "Teams need to be remarkably efficient and we are excited to be building the agentic AI automation layer powering them."

Backed by enterprise-grade security measures—including SOC 2 compliance and zero data retention agreements for its AI platforms—WarpBuild is setting a new benchmark for developer productivity for enterprises. With rapid growth already underway, the company continues to drive innovation in build engineering, agentic AI workflows, and developer productivity.

Bybit Launches 2025 Strategy to Empower Crypto Traders

Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched its 2025 strategy to empower crypto traders. Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO, shared the company’s vision during the live-stream event, “Keynote with Ben: In the Driving Seat to the Moon—Beat the Unknown.” The announcements made during the presentation reflect the platform’s three guiding principles: Listen, Care, and Improve.

A 2025 User-Centric Experience

“Our vision for 2025 is centered on creating a platform that truly supports our community,” Zhou said. Bybit’s 2025 roadmap aims to provide users with robust tools and liquidity solutions. For instance, real-world asset-backed instruments like T-bills will enrich Bybit Earn’s portfolio. Users can also expect the integration of traditional financial assets into crypto strategies.    

To enhance the platform’s future offerings, Bybit is also focused on expanding its Web3 capabilities, which is a major component of its 2025 strategy. Under the initiative “The Future of Onchain Bybit: Your Gateway to Web3,” the company seeks to advance Web3 integration. Plans include on-chain asset management, expanded trading tools, and DeFi solutions. For example, Bybit is working with Jito to introduce restaking for bbSOL holders, unlocking additional rewards and improving capital efficiency. These changes will create a unified platform for diverse user needs. The trading platform shows it can do more than track the price of Bitcoin.

This year, Bybit will continue delivering comprehensive blockchain solutions, focusing on enhancing the wallet infrastructure. Specifically, users can expect a deeper integration with ecosystems such as Ada, Atom, Athena, Bera, Sei, Monad, Babylon, and others.

Bybit’s Web3 vision extends beyond wallet integration. It also includes the introduction of Bybit Web3 Points, a reward system that allows users to earn points through activities like trading and referrals, fostering greater engagement within the Web3 ecosystem.

The company’s forward movement in 2025 stems from last year’s rapid growth. In 2024, Bybit tripled its user base to over 60 million, and the platform achieved an average daily trading volume of $36 billion. “Our progress reflects our users’ trust in us. As we move forward, we remain committed to setting new standards in the industry,” Zhou says.    

User- Driven Upgrades

Aside from substantial accomplishments, 2024 exposed areas for improvement. The company sought feedback from users. “To build a better Bybit for all, we must listen to our users, care deeply about their needs, and continually improve,” Zhou said. 

This methodology has led to impactful advancements. For example, the enhanced Bybit Card program expanded to six regions in 2024. There was also a change in the support response times. The time it took for customer service to respond to user needs decreased from 32 to 12 hours. Additionally, rates improved, as did integration with digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. These improvements stemmed directly from user feedback.

The platform faced challenges during the $NOT coin incident, which affected over 310,000 users. Bybit’s response involved analyzing and rectifying gaps in traffic and trading volume management. This experience enabled smooth operations during the $HMSTR token airdrop, which served over 4.3 million participants without delays. 

Bybit also took this opportunity to build an effective traffic prediction model. The platform upgraded its SOPs to manage future volume spikes. How the company handles its challenges showcases its commitment to building trust and nurturing strong connections with its user base.

New Products, Stronger Partnerships

Bybit launched several noteworthy products in 2024. The AI-powered trading assistant TradeGPT gives traders access to market insights. This new add-on is an industry first, attracting over 5 million users. The Pre-Market Perpetuals allowed traders to hedge and speculate before token launches. A real-world example of this feature in action occurred when tokens like $HYPE and $TRUMP experienced extraordinary engagement.   

Last year, Bybit expanded the Puzzle Hunt gamified educational initiative. It also expanded Launchpool, which simplifies earning rewards from promising projects. With ByVotes 2.0, users can gain a greater voice in project listings. This upgrade reinforces Bybit’s community-focused approach to crypto trading. In 2024, Bybit introduced bbSOL, the world’s first exchange-backed liquidity-taking token on Solana. Within five months, the token reached a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $240 million.     

Strategic partnerships have further reinforced Bybit’s position in the industry. Collaborations with Circle, Ethena, and Tether have strengthened the company’s role as a leader in USDC trading, with a 36% market share. Meanwhile, USDe achieved a 99% market share in the latter half of 2024.

Bybit’s ultimate goal is to innovate, improve, and make crypto available to everyone. The initiatives mentioned above exemplify Bybit’s ongoing dedication to enhancing user experiences. As a result, the platform has become well-known for its inventive products and reliable services.  

About Bybit

Since 2018, we are redefining openness in the decentralized world by creating a simpler, open and equal ecosystem for everyone.
