I’m so excited to announce the Future 50, a database of extraordinary, high-potential startups. A few companies you'll learn about: 🚚 A trucking company doing $45M ARR 🧬 A biotech building "AWS for biology" 🇯🇵 Japan's answer to OpenAI 📈 A payments company that grew 20x in 18 months ...And many, many more. The Future 50 product of more than 5 months of research and writing. We built it by asking some of the best investors in the world to pick the portfolio companies they believe have true outlier potential. We then studied the companies ourselves, reached out for additional exclusive information, and picked our top 50. Accompanying every company in the Future 50 is a detailed description explaining what they do and why they matter. We’ve also shared a clear rationale of why they stood out to us and were ultimately selected. If you’re a professional investor, angel, or operator looking for your next challenge, the Future 50 is a way to discover 50 exceptional startups with the detail and rigor needed to take action.

On Profiles in Risk - Ep. 562, I chat with Cole Riccardi, Founder and CEO at Authentic, an insurance infrastructure company that allows any platform that touches small businesses to start their own captive program. It's an end-to-end solution to start your own insurance program and it's not just a button that issues other carrier's paper. It actually allows you to build your own program on the back of Authentic. You actually get underwriting profit from your program! 🤯 LINK TO THE SHOW IN THE FIRST COMMENT! #Insurance #Insurtech
