While AI disruption looms over many legacy SaaS companies, several HR tech startups seem to be thriving. One of these companies is small-business payroll provider Gusto. The 14-year-old company, last valued at over $9 billion, just announced that it surpassed $1 billion in revenue earlier this year. Unlike many startups that report annualized recurring revenue (ARR) — an estimate of the value of their contracts in the upcoming 12 months — Gusto’s figure represents actual revenue earned over the previous 12 months. What’s more, the startup has been cash flow positive for several years. Its revenue growth has also accelerated…

The reinvention of healthcare is underway and around the globe, hospitals are beginning to harness the powers of AI, robotics, advanced imaging and real-time analytics. So, what does this mean for the every-day patient? These hospitals are using care as an integral part of medical practice technology for the first time to raise the standard of healthcare to a whole new level. Every year, Newsweek and Statista collaborate to create a list of the top smart hospitals around the world, across 28 countries.   What is a ‘Smart Hospital’?   A smart hospital relies on technology as part of the care…

On Tuesday, education tech giant Instructure disclosed a data breach where hackers stole students’ private information, including their names, personal email addresses, and messages sent between teachers and students.  Now, it appears hackers were able to compromise Instructure again — this time defacing several schools’ login pages to the company’s platform Canvas, which allows schools to manage coursework and assignments and communicate with students.  TechCrunch saw a message published by the cybercrime group ShinyHunters on the Canvas login pages of three separate schools. A review of the defaced portals shows that the hackers injected an HTML file that altered the…

Disney senior executives could potentially combine Disney+ with other apps like Disneyland Resort and Disney Cruise Line Navigator to make one unified app, according to a report from Bloomberg. Sources said these discussions were at an early stage, but that they are referring to this as a “super app” internally. Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro, who took over for Bob Iger earlier this year, has emphasized his intent to streamline the Disney experience, making the relationship between Disney+ and the Disney parks more cohesive. “Disney+ becomes the primary relationship between Disney and its fans, the place where everything comes together,” D’Amaro…

OpenAI said Thursday that its API will now include a number of new voice intelligence features designed to help developers create apps that can talk, transcribe, and translate conversations with users. The company’s new GPT‑Realtime‑2 is another voice model, built to create a realistic vocal simulation that can converse with users. However, unlike its predecessor (GPT-Realtime-1.5) this one is built with GPT‑5‑class reasoning that OpenAI says was created to deal with more complicated requests from users. The company is also launching GPT‑Realtime‑Translate, which, just as it sounds, is designed to provide real-time translation services that “keep pace” with the user,…

A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body’s cells in space, according to a study published in Nature Genetics. Spatial multi-omics technologies—often described as ultra-high-resolution maps of tissues—allow scientists to see not only which genes or proteins are active in a cell, but exactly where that activity occurs. That spatial context is critical for understanding complex organs such as the brain, immune tissues and developing embryos. Source link

Investors could not get enough of Ramp throughout 2025 and it looks like 2026 could be another banner year of fundraising for the corporate spend management startup. The company is in talks to raise another $750 million at a pre-money valuation of more than $40 billion, sources tell the Wall Street Journal. The deal is not yet final though, so terms could change. Ramp declined to comment. In November, Ramp announced it had raised $300 million at a $32 billion post-money valuation led by Lightspeed, which also included an employee tender offer. The company announced in July a $500 million…
