Strategikon Launches VISION 4.4 to Enhance Vendor Management in Clinical Outsourcing
Strategikon, a leader in clinical trial outsourcing and vendor management solutions, has announced the launch of VISION 4.4, an advanced upgrade designed to provide biopharma and CROs with greater control, efficiency, and security in clinical trial vendor management. This release introduces enhanced system customization, improved data visualization, and advanced vendor role management, directly addressing key industry challenges such as vendor oversight, trial efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
A recent study by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development found that 75% of biopharma professionals cite data inconsistencies, vendor access issues, and inefficient reporting as major obstacles in clinical outsourcing.
VISION 4.4 tackles these challenges with three significant enhancements:
A recent study by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development found that 75% of biopharma professionals cite data inconsistencies, vendor access issues, and inefficient reporting as major obstacles in clinical outsourcing.
VISION 4.4 tackles these challenges with three significant enhancements:
System & Custom Fields centralizes control over all standard and custom fields, ensuring seamless data consistency across teams. This significantly reduces manual data errors by up to 50%, addressing a key industry pain point where fragmented data across multiple platforms causes delays in decision-making and compliance risks.
Configurable Listings & Views improves trial efficiency through personalized dashboards and customizable views. Users can filter and display only the most relevant vendor data, reducing data retrieval time by 50%. The ability to save preferred views and export reports exactly as displayed eliminates the need for manual adjustments, streamlining vendor oversight and ensuring accurate reporting.
Vendor Role Management focuses on security and compliance upgrade that introduces granular permission controls, ensuring vendors can only access the data relevant to their role. Organizations have reported annual losses of up to $3 million due to unauthorized data access, highlighting the need for stronger oversight. VISION 4.4 also includes bulk role management, enabling faster onboarding and reducing security risks associated with manual permissions updates.
“With VISION 4.4, we are delivering what the industry has been demanding—greater control, visibility, and efficiency in vendor management,” said Anca Copaescu, CEO of Strategikon. “By integrating AI-powered customization, advanced reporting, and enhanced security features, we are empowering biopharma teams to make faster, data-driven decisions while ensuring compliance and operational excellence.”
Strategikon invites industry professionals to experience VISION 4.4 in action:

The Rager Foundation Shares Insights Into How Jason Rager Built a Successful Family Office
The Rager Foundation, a Wilmington-based nonprofit dedicated to educational advancement, today shared insights into how Jason Rager, early in his entrepreneurial and executive career, discovered that true business success relies on adhering to traditional values and working alongside liked-minded individuals and organizations. These principles were instrumental in Rager's journey to becoming a highly accomplished executive and investor, earning the admiration of his clients who uphold the same values.
Rager's Rise
Jason Rager's executive career gained momentum even before he earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Babson College. During this time, he secured funding to acquire eight retail establishments, generating significant profits. Building on these early successes, he became a published author and developed Franchise Analyzer, a software program designed to help potential investors identify optimal investment opportunities.
Rager's Rise
Jason Rager's executive career gained momentum even before he earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Babson College. During this time, he secured funding to acquire eight retail establishments, generating significant profits. Building on these early successes, he became a published author and developed Franchise Analyzer, a software program designed to help potential investors identify optimal investment opportunities.
Rager then broadened his focus by founding several technology companies and exploring ventures in digital marketing and media. This progression ultimately led to the creation of Rager Capital Partners, a private investment firm.
It's All About Grit, Passion, and Belief
Jason Rager acknowledges that he faced more than his fair share of setbacks and challenges throughout his journey. However, he believes that traditional values like resilience and determination have been essential to his remarkable success.
"I think the most important characteristics that define success and overcoming challenges are grit and passion," Rager said. He added that those who achieve ambitious goals are often individuals who have the courage to stand out and remain dedicated to their core mission.
The Rager Family Office
The Rager Family Office
These core principles led Rager to his latest and highly successful venture, the Rager Family Office. This investment firm is not solely focused on generating wealth for its clients and is not open to just any investor. Instead, the Rager Family Office seeks to build partnerships with well-established organizations that share Rager’s deeply held values.
The company collaborates closely with and invests directly for various entities, including family offices, hedge funds, institutional investors, public companies, and private equity firms, to drive long-term growth while ensuring beneficial outcomes for all parties involved. Its relationships are built on trust, business dealings are guided by integrity and ethical principles, and a significant portion of profits is dedicated to making a positive impact on the world.
Rager is deeply committed to philanthropy, recognizing its far-reaching positive impact. The Rager Family Office has supported and established various foundations and organizations in its hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. One initiative particularly close to Rager’s heart is the Rager Foundation. Founded in 2021, the foundation serves the greater Wilmington and Brandywine Valley regions, supporting causes that benefit local communities.
"This has been a truly rewarding experience," Rager shared. "Supporting some of the local foundations has been a truly life-changing experience."
The Next Chapter
Professionally, Rager is excited to see his company grow and hopes the Rager Family Office will continue achieving double-digit growth. On a personal level, however, he is preparing for an even more significant role than that of a business executive—he and his wife, Del, are expecting a baby girl this April.

TALLINN, Estonia
CoinsPaid Launches ESG Policy To Drive More Sustainable and Trustworthy Crypto Payments
CoinsPaid, an international provider of crypto payment solutions, has officially launched its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy, marking a first step in the company’s commitment to responsible business practices.
The newly established framework outlines CoinsPaid’s approach to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance, ensuring that the company payment solution contributes to a more ethical and transparent financial ecosystem.
Maksym Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid, commented: “Crypto Payments must be smarter—and more responsible. Crypto’s next chapter will be defined by trust. The hype cycles are over, and what remains is the need for infrastructure that businesses, regulators, and consumers can rely on. Payments sit at the core of crypto adoption, which means we can’t afford to be passive about sustainability, security, or compliance. СoinsPaid’s ESG policy is our way of saying: we’re not just adapting—we’re leading.”
CoinsPaid's policy, developed in alignment with international ESG standards, focuses on mitigating the environmental impact of blockchain operations through carbon offsetting, while also promoting social responsibility, and enhancing corporate governance within the company. CoinsPaid’s ESG initiative is a strategic move to future-proof the industry’s most essential infrastructure: payments.
“The notion that ESG and crypto are incompatible is outdated. At CoinsPaid, we recognize our responsibility for our environmental footprint, societal impact, and governance. Our ESG policy is the first step of our strategic roadmap meant to gradually integrate sustainability into our core operations while fostering trust among users, employees, partners, and regulators. CoinsPaid is willing to align with ESG standards, proving that responsible crypto payments aren’t just possible—they’re essential for long-term industry growth,” said Violaine Champetier de Ribes, ESG Officer at CoinsPaid.
What’s in our ESG approach?
1. Environmental Stewardship
1. Environmental Stewardship
- Net-Zero by 2035: We have started policy implementation with our Estonian entity—Dream Finance OÜ, measured its emissions in 2024 with Plan A solution (Total: 2,086.32. tCO₂e. Scope 1=0, Scope 2= 37.1, tCO₂e Scope, 3 = 2,049.22, tCO₂e (97.9%) and will publish our official targets in the coming weeks.
- Lower Energy Footprint: Our goal is to reduce consumption per transaction by at least 5%—supported by our remote-first model and LEED Gold-certified headquarters in Tallinn.
- Sustainable Tech Use: We properly dispose of all electronic devices.
2. Social Commitment
- Diversity & Inclusion: With 22+ nationalities and near 50/50 gender representation, we’re building a culture that thrives on different perspectives.
- Professional Growth: We already map 73% of roles with detailed skill sets and aim for 89% by 2026. We also constantly provide internal learning via CoinsPaid Academy.
- Employees’ Engagement: CoinsPaid aims to increase employees’ awareness on ESG principles, therefore the company launched the first survey on ESG. The survey results highlight a strong foundational awareness of ESG among employees (77%), with a clear interest in learning more about the topic (67%). Over two-thirds of employees want to participate in ESG initiatives (63%). Furthermore, 98% find it important to integrate an ESG policy into the company’s core mission.
- Community Engagement: From “Children for Children” Charity event supporting Tallinn Children’s Hospital Foundation to Aris FC Kids Academy, Business competition for Ukrainian women in Estonia, and other socially important initiatives, we believe in giving back.
3. Governance Excellence
- Annual ESG Oversight: Our management board and ESG officer review sustainability goals and risks at least once each year.
- Robust Compliance: We hold ISO 27001 certification and enforce comprehensive AML/CTF protocols (including Chainalysis and SumSub).
- MiCA Sustainability Requirements: We are compliant with MiCA sustainability requirements.
Empowering Crypto Payments with Purpose and Impact
Crypto has come a long way from being a niche experiment to a global financial system, but with that growth comes responsibility. With over 600 million transactions processed per month on average and a presence in industries like e-commerce, tourism, and other sectors, CoinsPaid understands that payments are the foundation of mainstream crypto adoption. Therefore, we are working to gradually align with EU legislation, shaping a more responsible future with sustainability requirements, and reinforcing the need for compliance and responsible practices in the crypto industry.
In an era of AML scrutiny, MiCA regulation, and institutional onboarding, CoinsPaid is reinforcing its security infrastructure, enhancing KYT (Know Your Transaction) monitoring, and aligning with global best practices in governance and risk management.
While some crypto companies treat ESG as a checkbox exercise, CoinsPaid is now working on setting concrete actions and will publish regular impact reports.
About CoinsPaid
CoinsPaid is an international crypto payments company, serving businesses across high-growth industries, including but not limited to consultancy, corporate services, e-commerce, and education. With a strong focus on security, compliance, and innovation, we are shaping the future of digital payments while promoting responsible crypto adoption.

STUTTGART, Germany
Workforce in Crisis: 72% of Managers Fear Productivity Collapse as Mass Retirement Strips Critical Skills
A mass retirement wave in retail, manufacturing and other key frontline sectors is threatening to drain industries of critical expertise. New global research from Flip, the frontline employee super-app, in partnership with Workplace Intelligence, reveals that 59% of frontline workers over the age of 55 are planning to leave the workforce in the next five years.
Almost three quarters (72%) of managers across retail and manufacturing are not confident their companies will be able to retain the knowledge and expertise lost when experienced workers retire.
At the same time, younger workers feel undervalued and disconnected, with 48% of Gen Z employees considering leaving frontline industries entirely due to poor onboarding, lack of training, and limited career progression opportunities.
The landmark study surveyed 1,500 frontline managers and employees, offering a critical insight into the scale of the workforce crisis. It uncovered that this coming retirement wave could mean severe brain drain, as experienced workers leave en masse, taking valuable knowledge with them.
The productivity of the current workforce is already suffering, particularly due to widening skills shortages in manufacturing and retail. Frontline employees spend an average of 14 hours per week, per month—equivalent to 4.5 months annually—helping colleagues compensate for knowledge gaps, instead of focusing on their own tasks. This inefficiency translates to a substantial financial loss, costing the US economy $177.8 billion in the retail sector alone.
A workforce at a breaking point:
A workforce at a breaking point:
- 90% of frontline managers miss performance targets each year due to a lack of skills on their team.
- Frontline managers are struggling to onboard and upskill their teams, with 96% reporting skill gaps in their workplace.
- Training failures are driving talent away, with one in three (30%) frontline workers saying their company lacks the right technology to support new hires. Gen Z is in the firing line once again, with 89% of managers saying they lack the technical skills required.
- Meanwhile, Gen Z feels undervalued—while managers question their skills, 50% of Gen Z employees say their work is overlooked because of their age.
Compounding the issue, Gallup research shows that employee engagement in the U.S. has plummeted to its lowest level in a decade, with only 31% of employees engaged in 2024—matching figures last seen in 2014. Meanwhile, 17% of employees are actively disengaged, further exacerbating workplace productivity challenges. This decline highlights a growing disconnect between workers and employers, making it even harder to retain and develop talent in industries already facing critical skill shortages.
"Industries that power our economies are facing a critical skills cliff edge," said Benedikt Brand, co-founder and CEO of Flip. "In frontline sectors, expertise is often passed down verbally or stored on paper—unlike office roles, where digital records create a natural knowledge trail. When experienced workers retire, this knowledge risks disappearing entirely. Businesses must act now to capture and digitize critical expertise, ensuring a smooth transfer to the next generation. Without it, productivity will stall, and these industries will struggle to stay competitive."
Dan Schawbel, Managing Partner at Workplace Intelligence, added: “The new generation gap isn’t just about age—it’s about who has essential work skills and who doesn’t. The research shows many employers aren’t doing enough to transfer knowledge to younger workers before older employees retire.”
“There’s a lot of goodwill, with experienced workers wanting to support new hires, but no one has the time or tools they need to train effectively,” Schawbel concluded.
Without immediate action, industries risk a dual-generation talent vacuum, further deepening economic instability. For further insights and the full research findings, click here.
Flip partnered with research firm Workplace Intelligence to survey 1,500 global frontline managers and employees in the US, UK, and Germany in January 2025.

Meaning of the Name
In the timeless rhythm of the day, the 24 hours are intricately woven with the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. The hour of the Rooster—spanning from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.—marks the transition from labor to leisure, a sacred moment when the world slows, and the first sip of an evening drink is savored.

Deeply rooted in this tradition, the Japanese character for “sake” (酒) finds its origin in the Rooster (酉), enriched by the water element (氵) to symbolize the essence of the drink itself. Thus, the time when the day’s work concludes and the evening’s indulgence begins has long been known as “Rooster Hour”—the perfect moment to unwind, reflect, and raise a glass.
In English, this tradition is beautifully captured as “Time to Drink”—an invitation to embrace the heritage of mindful drinking, where every pour carries the weight of history and the promise of new memories.

RICHMOND, VA
From Care Provider to Trusted Partner: World Pediatrics' Vision for Sustainable Pediatric Health Transformation
World Pediatrics, led by an international team and board that is passionate and committed to its purpose, is materializing a transformative era in global pediatric healthcare. With operations in 14 countries and services in 27 nations across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the United States, the organization has successfully delivered care to over 25,000 children in its soon-to-be 25 years of operation. Today, its vision looks much further than direct care delivery—World Pediatrics aims to become a trusted partner in the evolving, systemic, and sustainable transformation of pediatric health systems.
“The sustainable transformation of pediatric health is not going to be heralded by simply being a service provider,” says World Pediatrics CEO Vafa Akhavan. “Real change comes when you are rooted in and partnering with the community to work within the system, empowering and transforming it for the future.”
World Pediatrics operates with a three-pillar approach to well-rounded, long-term, and sustainable care for underserved children: Deliver, Empower, and Transform. The first pillar focuses on direct surgical intervention, including secondary and complex tertiary surgeries that address the most critical medical needs of children. It spans 15 specialties to provide long-term, multi-intervention care from childhood to adulthood. The second pillar, Empower, revolves around training and capacity-building through partnerships with local pediatricians and health systems, ensuring that care extends beyond the operating room.
The third pillar, Transform, signifies the organization’s evolution into a trusted partner within the broader healthcare system. More than 450 million children under the age of five lack access to surgical care, with an estimated 17 million dying as a result. The absence of basic surgical care contributes to a death toll five times greater than that of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined—equivalent to more than 200 Boeing 737s crashing every day. Beyond the human toll, inadequate medical care in low- and middle-income countries results in an estimated $12.3 trillion in lost GDP. The high cost-effectiveness of many pediatric surgical interventions underscores the lost potential of providing decades of disability-adjusted life years to children and the economic value such care could bring to their nations.
That is why World Pediatrics has been expanding its efforts to transform care and drive systemic change from within the medical system over the past five years. By building infrastructure, supporting existing hospitals, and bringing together key stakeholders—including medical professionals, medical supply corporations, hospitals, NGOs, hospitality and travel organizations, and governments—World Pediatrics aims to strengthen pediatric healthcare and reduce infant mortality across the regions it serves.

By building infrastructure, supporting existing hospitals, and bringing together key stakeholders—including medical professionals, medical supply corporations, hospitals, NGOs, hospitality and travel organizations, and governments—World Pediatrics aims to strengthen pediatric healthcare and reduce infant mortality across the regions it serves.
“We are strengthening the system from within,” Akhavan explains. “When we partner with hospitals or governments, we’re there for the long haul by supporting their vision and enabling them to better serve the children.”
The cornerstone of the organization’s transformational impact is moving from being a service provider to a trusted partner with the healthcare sector, a philosophy that Akhavan brought from his extensive experience in the corporate and consulting worlds. “In business, you’re either a vendor or a partner. We could simply deliver a service, or as a partner, could create value. For us, trust is built when we prioritize the best interests of the partner instead of our own.”

We could simply deliver a service, or as a partner, could create value. For us, trust is built when we prioritize the best interests of the partner instead of our own.”
One crucial example of this approach is World Pediatrics’ work with Hospital Maria in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital that was experiencing underutilized capacity. World Pediatrics partnered with the hospital, working in collaboration with them for a year to develop a comprehensive five-year plan to increase its utilization up to 85%. With that partnership, Hospital Maria’s plan was approved and two (out of three) phases were financed by the government.
By realizing the hospital’s full potential at no cost, World Pediatrics built organic trust between the two. As Akhavan shares, “The relationship becomes an investment for the children. We’re not there to extract value, we’re there to make life better for children, their families, and therefore, their communities. That’s what makes us a partner and not just another provider.”
Although World Pediatrics’ mission is laser-focused on collaboration, Akhavan acknowledges the challenges of the underlying competition within the nonprofit sector. Nevertheless, the organization sees an opportunity to create a much greater impact when bypassing the territorial streak in the sector by scaling up. Drawing from his for-profit background, Akhavan believes that partnerships and roll-ups can generate exponential impact. When organizations work together, as partners or post-merger, there is greater strength and resources to serve the children.
“Too many small organizations are doing wonderful, life-changing work that lacks the scope to achieve systemic change,” he says. “When we joined forces with another organization a couple of years ago, the conversation was simple: How can we help more children together? That’s the only question needed to drive real change.”
As other members of the World Pediatrics team can attest, such as Managing Director of Emerging Opportunities Ross Silkman, the organization has fostered an environment built on trust and collaboration—both among institutional partners and donors. “I’ve seen the effects of our commitment to collaboration in action. By coming into a partnership without preconceived notions of its benefits to either party, we’re able to build and develop real trust. It’s those partnerships that create shared value,” says Silkman. “Bring the right people together in the right environment, and truly great things will emerge.”
World Pediatrics extends this philosophy to their donors as well, moving beyond traditional corporate social responsibility and redefining their relationships with major stakeholders. “When donors see that their investment is driving systemic change, it’s no longer a donation, it’s a partnership,” Silkman adds.
World Pediatrics’ trajectory from a service provider to a trusted partner cutting across multiple regions marks a new height in their effort towards transforming care. By working with and within systems, building capacities, and developing additional infrastructure, the organization is bringing pediatric healthcare to a new epoch of sustainable, long-lasting, equitable, and quality care for all children.
Akhavan concludes, “Our mission is to ensure that every child has access to the care they need. Not just today, but throughout their lifetime and for generations to come. Children are 30% of the population but 100% of our future. The children of today grow up to be the decision-makers of tomorrow. Invest in children and we’ll change the future of humanity.”

The integration represents another milestone for Lucra in the $25 billion loyalty industry, adding to its partnerships with 16 enterprise brands, including Dave & Buster's, TouchTunes, and Five Iron Golf.

Solomia Home's Versace Showroom Conquers the World at International Property Awards 2025
Solomia Home, a trailblazer in luxury interior design, has cemented its place among the world's elite. On February 20, 2025, at the illustrious International Property Awards in London, the firm's Versace Home showroom clinched two prestigious titles: Best Retail Interior Arabia and Best International Retail Interior. This triumph follows their December 2024 victory for Best Retail Interior Dubai, which propelled them onto the global stage, affirming their mastery in crafting spaces that redefine opulence.
A Symphony of Luxury and Innovation
A Symphony of Luxury and Innovation
The Versace Home showroom is a breathtaking testament to grandeur, where every detail exudes sophistication and craftsmanship. Modern architectural lines are a canvas for Versace's iconic signatures—the Medusa head, Barocco flourishes, and Greca prints—reimagined with a contemporary edge. An immersive sanctuary marries the brand's storied heritage with cutting-edge design, offering visitors an unparalleled luxury experience.
Among the standout features is the Medusa Gorgon logo, sculpted from Pure Black marble with deep milling, its matte, porous finish radiating nobility. Positioned asymmetrically on a corner wall, it defies convention to embody Versace's bold modernity. This innovative approach extends to the showroom's restructured first floor—initially a single level, now crowned with a second tier to showcase the Outdoor collection. Muted tones and high ceilings contrast with a deep black backdrop, weaving light and shadow into a mesmerizing visual narrative. Even the front door handle, forged in galvanized black steel, underscores the meticulous curation of this extraordinary space.
The Visionaries Behind the Victory
This triumph is the fruit of relentless dedication by Solomia Home’s founder Dmytro Korotchuk, CEO Luca Bacci, and creative designer Svitlana Antonovych. Their synergy has birthed a showroom that transcends mere aesthetics, elevating it to a new echelon of lifestyle design.
Svitlana Antonovych reflects, "The Versace Home showroom envelops visitors in an unforgettable journey through the brand's essence. Each zone—from the lavish living spaces to the refined bedrooms—amplifies Versace's versatility and grandeur." She highlights the painstaking effort behind the ceiling-mounted Medusa head, a centrepiece that demanded precision. "We oversaw every detail, visiting production sites to match our vision. When flaws surfaced near completion, Luca Bacci refined them—an unforgettable moment of commitment."
Global Acclaim and Timeless Philosophy
Global Acclaim and Timeless Philosophy
Judged by over 50 international experts, the International Property Awards lauded the showroom for its seamless fusion of contemporary luxury with Versace's legendary DNA. This dual victory marks Solomia Home as a global pacesetter, catering to elite clients who value innovation anchored in timeless style.
“We embrace the latest trends while staying true to enduring solutions,” Svitlana Antonovych explains. “This balance ensures our designs are both functional and supremely comfortable. Fashion may fade, but style is eternal—a principle that guides every choice we make for our discerning clients.”

Dignity Living CEO: We Are Cambodian American and the Time to Change Our Survivor Status Is Now
For decades, the Cambodian American community has carried the weight of its past—a history defined by survival against unimaginable odds. But today, Jeff Lam, CEO of Dignity Living and a prominent community mentor, is urging a transformation—a true shift in mindset that goes far beyond charity or nostalgic remembrance.
“We are not Cambodian. We are not simply Americans. We are the Cambodian American community,” Lam asserts, encapsulating the dual identity that he believes should drive the future.
“We are not Cambodian. We are not simply Americans. We are the Cambodian American community,” Lam asserts, encapsulating the dual identity that he believes should drive the future.
“We’re on the cusp of great change,” Lam says. “But it’s up to us to shape what that change looks like. Will we remain stuck in a cycle of blame and victimhood? Or will we honor the resilience of our ancestors by shifting our mindset toward one of success, ownership, and contribution to this country?”
While the Cambodian American community has its share of success stories, many of those who achieve personal success leave, creating a void in the very places that need them most. This absence of role models reinforces a cycle where young people struggle to envision a future beyond poverty, low-income jobs, and government assistance.
Lam understands this firsthand. He once distanced himself from his Cambodian roots, driven by a desire to escape the struggles he saw growing up. But as he built his career and engaged in mentorship, he began to see the impact of staying connected. “The day I looked back to my community—the day I mentored just one person—it changed everything for me. Seeing someone from my community thrive because of the support I could offer made me realize I could never just focus on myself again,” he states.
Lam has since committed to expanding mentorship efforts, creating opportunities for young Cambodian Americans to connect with successful individuals who can guide them. His vision becomes clearer every day, with one thing in mind: the community must build itself up from within rather than waiting for outside intervention.
The Cambodian American community is not the only one that has struggled; many other immigrant communities have faced similar challenges in the past. However, Lam has seen a clear distinction in how different groups have responded with resilience-driven success. “Look at communities that have faced hardship. They came together, helped each other, built businesses, and created generational wealth. They didn’t let their history define them; they used it as fuel,” he says.
For Cambodian Americans, the struggle has often been compounded by systemic barriers. Despite being categorized as Asian Americans—a demographic that statistically overperforms in income and education—the reality is completely different for Cambodians. Many remain in low-income neighborhoods, dependent on welfare programs, and caught in cycles of financial stagnation. For some, the fear of losing government assistance discourages them from pursuing better opportunities. If earning an extra few hundred dollars means losing food stamps or subsidized housing, the incentive to push forward weakens.
Lam describes a common trap: “If someone is getting $800 a month in welfare but working a full-time job only brings in $1,200, the immediate thought is, ‘Why should I work?’ That short-term mindset ignores the long-term growth opportunity that could come from building a career, gaining skills, and increasing income over time.”
Then there’s the influence of fast money. In many Cambodian American communities, the most visible success stories are not doctors or entrepreneurs but individuals who have made quick money. “When the guy who made his money through illegal means has a flashy car and expensive jewelry, while the hardworking student can barely afford bus fare, what message does that send to our youth?” asks Lam.
For him, the solution is clear: mentorship, community reinvestment, and an unwavering commitment to changing the way Cambodian Americans see themselves. “We survived unimaginable horrors,” Lam says. “No food, no water, forced labor, torture. If we apply that same survival instinct to the opportunities in front of us today, we will be unstoppable. Through this, we could all live the true American Dream.” His goal is to connect successful Cambodian Americans with those still finding their way, ensuring that the next generation has tangible role models to look up to.
As Cambodian Americans enter their third generation in the U.S., Lam offers a reminder: “To disregard what it means to be American is to disrespect the country that gave us a future. But to erase our heritage is to dishonor the sacrifices of our ancestors. The only way forward is to embrace both identities and build something even stronger. We are Cambodian Americans, and the time to move beyond our survivor status is now.”

Mintlayer's Strength Lies in One Key Factor: Its Community
Mintlayer has set itself apart by building a financial ecosystem driven by its community. With over 86,000 followers on Twitter and 40,000 members on Telegram, it is clear that its success is directly tied to everyone who engages, contributes, and invests in its vision. Unlike other projects where leadership remains distant, Mintlayer’s founder, Enrico Rubboli, personally interacts with stakeholders daily, responding to messages and participating in discussions without relying on intermediaries, which is uncommon for visionaries of his stature.
The strength of this approach is evident in the numbers. Incredibly, 100 million ML coins have been staked, with over 5,500 delegators and 400 validators actively taking part in the network. Such a level of affinity positions users as vital, active contributors responsible for its encouraging growth. Mintlayer's fractional ownership model expands access to investment opportunities, allowing for extensive participation in real estate, bonds, and tokenized securities in ways that were previously unattainable.
In addition, Mintlayer has been bringing institutions into the fold by creating new channels to expand its reach, working relentlessly alongside investors, further strengthening its foundation. Its expansion into renewable energy and commodities adds another dimension, opening the door for broader interaction in asset-backed investments.
Remarkably, while others are solely focused on scaling their businesses from the top down, Mintlayer follows a brilliant strategy by reversing the entire equation. Its ingenious way involves developing from the ground up, catalyzed by organic and authentic engagement. At the end of the day, Mintlayer is committed to acknowledging—and more so, upholding—its esteemed supporters because they are the very reason behind its masterfully disruptive, radical, and game-changing existence.

Bridging the Flood Insurance Gap: Flood Risk Solutions’ Mission Fulfilled Through Latest Innovative Program
With the longstanding flood insurance coverage gap, Flood Risk Solutions (FRS) has committed to developing an affordable, accessible solution for homeowners in low-to-moderate risk areas.
Flooding is one of the most prevalent and costly natural disasters in the United States, yet only a small percentage of homeowners have flood insurance coverage. When a flood occurs, this gap could financially devastate millions. Flood Risk Solutions, aiming to make flood insurance more accessible and affordable for residential and commercial property owners nationwide, has introduced the Preferred Risk Policy™ (PRP).
Flooding is one of the most prevalent and costly natural disasters in the United States, yet only a small percentage of homeowners have flood insurance coverage. When a flood occurs, this gap could financially devastate millions. Flood Risk Solutions, aiming to make flood insurance more accessible and affordable for residential and commercial property owners nationwide, has introduced the Preferred Risk Policy™ (PRP).
Since Brendan Moeller and Eugene Podokshik founded the company in 2017, FRS has consistently offered tech-savvy distribution partners flood programs. It has leveraged proprietary technology to deliver these through a user-friendly web-based portal and API integrations.
Years of providing flood insurance integrations have enabled FRS to recognize the factors that have fed the decades-old flood insurance gap. Firstly, due to concerns about cost, over 80% of households in the U.S. lack flood insurance. There’s also a common misconception that homeowners’ standard insurance policies cover flood damage. Many forgo separate flood coverage because of this.
In addition, many existing flood insurance products are designed to meet the requirements for mortgage compliance. What does this mean? The products primarily focus on high-risk zones and overlook the needs of those in low-to-moderate-risk areas. A significant segment of the population is, therefore, not adequately protected. The fact that more than 40% of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood losses occur outside high-risk zones highlights the problem with this model.
Curiously, although flood events have only increased in frequency and severity, the flood insurance market has remained relatively stagnant for decades. Its size has barely kept pace with inflation. The market has struggled to expand even as private insurers entered. Podokshik has seen how the entrance of private insurers has merely redistributed market share rather than expanding overall coverage.
“The industry thought the market could grow as private insurers have shown more interest in providing flood coverage in recent years,” said Podokshik. “But in reality, actual growth has been minimal.” FRS has acknowledged that innovative solutions are needed to bridge the existing insurance gap, particularly in regard to the phenomenon where a substantial portion of flood losses occur in areas not usually considered high-risk.
As a technology-driven Managing General Agent (MGA), FRS developed the Preferred Risk Policy to offer affordable flood coverage for properties in non-high-hazard flood zones. This innovative program provides reasonable coverage limits to address a market need traditional policies—which usually start at higher premiums and coverage amounts—have failed to meet.
Obtaining a PRP is easy. Premiums start as low as $50 and can go up to $200, depending on the selected coverage limits, with payment plans available starting at only $5 per month. A consumer quoting tool can also be embedded on agents’ websites where owners can then obtain quotes and bind policies directly in under a minute. Agents, MGAs, and homeowner insurers have the ability to partner with FRS and batch rate entire books of business, and FRS actively seeks such partnership to enhance accessibility and efficiency. This streamlined approach is made possible by advanced flood insurance analytics and modeling.
Flood Risk Solutions can effectively bridge the flood insurance gap through the Preferred Risk Policy, given that it can make coverage more affordable and accessible to homeowners previously underserved by traditional policies. The lower coverage limits cater to those who may not require extensive protection but still wish to safeguard against potential flood-related damages.
The PRP’s impact can be immense. Besides empowering individual policyholders, communities can become more resilient to flood events. The financial burden on government disaster relief programs and taxpayers can then also be reduced. In addition, the overall risk pool can diversify, as more homeowners in low-to-moderate-risk areas obtain coverage. This could lead to more stable and reduced premiums. Essentially, sharing the risks across the board aligns with the foundational principles of insurance and nurtures a more prepared society when facing natural disasters.
Podokshik stresses, “This serves as a strong test case for whether the flood insurance gap can ever be closed. If demand doesn’t increase at these price points, we may need to reconsider our approach. For example, given that over 40% of flood losses occur outside designated flood zones, and people still aren’t purchasing affordable coverage, we might have to fund disaster recovery through other means.”
While the longstanding flood insurance gap remains, Flood Risk Solutions has launched the Preferred Risk Policy to contribute to addressing it by offering affordable, accessible, and tailored coverage options that protect individual homeowners and help achieve the broader goal of making society more resilient against flooding events.

Neironix Shares Insights on the Sustainability Paradox and Cryptocurrency's Role in Funding Green Technology Projects
Neironix, the first independent international rating agency for assessing investment risks in the blockchain economy, today shared insights on how cryptocurrency presents an interesting puzzle when it comes to helping the environment. While its virtual price drives the mining industry forward, mining crypto uses lots of electricity. But on the other hand, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are helping fund and support many new green technology projects. Let's explore how this paradox works and what it means for our planet's future.
Understanding the Basic Problem
Understanding the Basic Problem
Mining cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin needs powerful computers that run 24/7. These computers use a lot of electricity. In many places, this electricity comes from burning coal or gas, which creates pollution. Many people have become worried about crypto's impact on climate change.
However, there's another side to this story that's making waves in 2025: cryptocurrency is becoming a powerful tool for funding green technology and environmental projects.
How Crypto is Funding Green Projects
How Crypto is Funding Green Projects
Green technology ICOs and token companies working on environmental projects are now creating their cryptocurrencies or tokens to raise money. These "green ICOs" (initial coin offerings) let people invest directly in ecological projects. For example, some companies have created tokens to fund solar panel farms, while others use them to support wind energy projects.
Blockchain for Carbon Credits
Blockchain for Carbon Credits
The carbon credit market has found a new home on blockchain platforms. These digital systems make it easier to track and trade carbon credits. Companies can now buy and sell carbon offsets more efficiently, and everyone can see exactly where the money goes. This transparency helps ensure that environmental projects actually deliver what they promise.
Supporting Local Green Initiatives
Some cryptocurrencies are designed specifically to support local environmental projects. Communities can use these tokens to fund things like:
- Community solar gardens
- Local recycling programs
- Tree planting initiatives
- Clean water projects
Smart Contracts for Environmental Goals
Blockchain technology uses something called "smart contracts" to automatically release funds when certain environmental goals are met. Green projects only receive payment when they demonstrate real results. For instance, a tree-planting project might receive funding only after satellite images confirm new trees are growing.
Real-World Examples Making a Difference
Solar Mining Operations
Many crypto-mining companies are now building their solar farms. They use the energy to power their mining operations and sell extra electricity back to the local power grid. This helps make more renewable energy infrastructure that everyone can use.
Ocean Cleanup Programs
Several blockchain projects are funding ocean cleanup efforts. People can buy special tokens that directly support removing plastic from the oceans. The blockchain keeps track of how much plastic is collected, making sure the money is used effectively.
Reforestation Projects
Cryptocurrency investors are funding large-scale tree planting through blockchain platforms. These projects use satellite monitoring and local reports to track progress, all recorded on the blockchain where anyone can check it.
Overcoming the Energy Problem
While crypto continues to use significant energy, several solutions are emerging:
- "Proof of Stake": Many cryptocurrencies are switching to a new system called "Proof of Stake" instead of the energy-hungry "Proof of Work." This change can reduce energy use by over 99%.
- Renewable energy partnerships: Mining companies are partnering with renewable energy providers. This creates more demand for clean energy and helps fund new solar and wind farms.
- Energy recycling: Some mining operations now use their excess heat to warm buildings or support agriculture in greenhouses. This turns what was wasted into a useful resource.
Looking to the Future
The relationship between cryptocurrency and environmental sustainability continues to evolve. While the energy use concern remains, the technology is proving valuable for:
- Raising money for green projects
- Making environmental initiatives more transparent
- Supporting local sustainability efforts
- Driving innovation in renewable energy
As we move forward in 2025, more environmental projects are finding ways to use blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to achieve their goals. The key is balancing the energy impact of crypto with its potential to fund and support important environmental work.
Making It Work Together
Making It Work Together
The success of this balance depends on several factors:
- Continued development of energy-efficient blockchain technology
- Growth of renewable energy sources for mining
- Smart regulation that encourages green practices
- Innovation in funding models for environmental projects
The cryptocurrency community is increasingly aware of its environmental responsibility. Many new projects now consider sustainability from the start rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Conclusion
Conclusion
While the debate about cryptocurrency's environmental impact continues, its role in funding green technology is becoming clearer. The technology that some feared would only harm the environment is now helping build a more sustainable future. This doesn't erase the energy concerns, but it shows how innovation can turn challenges into opportunities for positive change.
The key lesson from this paradox is that new technologies often have both positive and negative effects on our world. The goal isn't to accept or reject them but to guide their development in ways that benefit our planet and its people.
