Sensydia announced today that it completed enrollment in its 225-subject development study for its AI-powered Cardiac Performance System (CPS).

This week’s For Starters sponsored by Robinson Bradshaw is back with new-ish host Anil Chawla, who is continuing his journey this season of tackling product-market fit by allowing founders to tell the story of how their startups became what they are today.
For this episode (the second of 10 this season), Chawla spoke with Liza Rodewald, the Co-Founder and CEO of Instant Teams, a jobs marketplace. This startup has a specific goal of hiring military and veteran spouses, a cohort whose constant travels can impact job retention rates. As a former military spouse herself, Rodewald talks about how she recognized a need and decided to create a space that allowed this community to gain long-term, stable jobs, even while all in different time zones. (We first profiled Instant Teams last April.)
After emerging from stealth mode in February 2022 with a seed round of $2.4M, new investors contribute additional $5.7M in December ‘22
Los Angeles, CA, Feb. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today WARP, a tech-powered freight network specializing in middle-mile solutions, announced an additional $5.7M in funding to bring its total to $8.1M for its first operational year, 2022. LA-based venture capital firms MaC Venture Capital, Bonfire Ventures, and Frontier Venture Capital contributed to this follow-on round with additional contributions from some of WARP’s previous investors. WARP emerged from stealth mode in February, 2022 with a $2.4M seed round to digitize the old school trucking model and create the most efficient routes for middle-mile freight. This follow-on round of funding will allow WARP to scale their network and tech platform to further automate traditional supply chain “hacks” that were previously done manually.
Today’s shippers operate in a volatile environment. Between inflation, ongoing Covid spikes, and fluctuating transportation costs, it can be extremely difficult to manage a complex supply chain. Whenever a shipper's volume goes up or down, they need to readjust their logistics strategy which decreases efficiency and increases cost. WARP takes existing supply chain solutions and provides real-time optimization based on dynamic demand while removing manual processes for shippers, carriers and back-office teams.
