We put together a list of cybersecurity companies focused primarily on protecting healthcare data.

Alright

With tickets averaging $2500 for The Future of Fintech Conference, we’ve heard from lots of early-stage startups that our pricing is a bit too oriented for the 1%.

So here’s the deal. 

If you’ve raised < $2.5M total, we’re opening up 10 early-stage startup ticket pairs. That means you’ll get 2 tickets for $1990 ($995 per ticket).

Apply here by Tuesday, May 23rd. Admissions are on a rolling basis so apply early.

It’ll take 30 seconds to fill out.

Mr. Marketer

E-commerce going up

Industry Standard

CB Insights data is the most trusted by those in the industry and the media. A few recent hits.

New York Times. Michael J. de la Merced (@m_delamerced) reports on CrowdStrike’s latest round of financing and refers to CB Insights cybersecurity funding trends.

Bloomberg. Julie Verhage (@julieverhage) writes about online lending startup Earnest and cites CB Insights funding data.

Fast Company. Ruth Reader (@ruthreader) on what happens if autonomous cars scale with a reference to CB Insights’ guest post by Paul Asel.

Forbes. Chloe Sorvino (@chloesorvino) writes about the beauty industry and cites CB Insights acquisition data.

I love you.
