The direct channel has a major impact on the distribution landscape, as customers become the focal point for every transaction and sale. More agents consider the market shift toward online or direct sales a major constraint in the growth of their business. This concern is expressed by life insurance and property and casualty (P&C) agents across the board — whether selling commercial or personal lines

Less paperwork, better sales tools and greater simplicity in processes from carriers will enable agents to be more responsive to customer servicing, claims and product development. Emerging technologies such as digital, wearables, telematics and usage-based insurance (UBI) are providing data sources for underwriting and analytical capabilities to better manipulate and interpret data. These are improving the way insurance companies manage back-office functions and detect cyber threats and other risks. The future is tied to innovation and product simplification, which represents bold crossselling opportunities for carriers.

Blurb will likely seek an exit in the next two years, Gittins said, either through an IPO (“Banks have been calling,” Gittins notes), or a sale to a strategic partner such as Amazon or Adobe. (Blurb is embedded in Adobe’s Lightroom tools with a “Send book to Blurb” button.) Gittins sees her business as a YouTube for books, helping millions of independent long-tail publishers get distribution.

Monetarisierung sein. Wenn Anthem Venture neben dem zweiten Investor und den Gründern auch nur 30% hält wären das ca. 300 Millionen und entsprechend dem 9%-Anteil ca. 30 Millionen für Actua, was ca. 30 Millionen ausstehenden Aktien ca. 1 Dollar pro Actua-Atie wäre.

Daher kann ich die kaum vorhandene Aufmerksamkeit für Anthem Venture auch nicht nachvollziehen.

des Portfolios von Anthem Venture auf 500 Millionen bis eine Milliarde Dollar.

Der Wert der 9% von Acuta an Anthem Venture läge dann zwischen 45 und 90 Millionen Dollar, was zwischen 1,50 bis 3 Dollar pro Aktie ausmacht.

Dass dies die Investoren auf ihrem Radarschrim haben, bezweifele ich.  

Interset, a Canada-based security firm, also uses artificial intelligence and behavioral analytics to correlate unstructured and scattered bits of data from users, applications and endpoints in order to discover insights that would otherwise slip past human analysts and static security models.

The company’s security platform uses machine learning to define a threshold for each user which defines the range of acceptable activities that the user usually performs. These dynamic rules replace static global rules such as “how many megabytes an attachment can be,” allowing for more flexibility in the work process while also maintaining the security of the system.

Interset also uses machine learning to correlate events and provide a higher-level view of the system. So instead of pointing to a set of security events that need investigation, the system can actually point to specific endpoints and accou
nts that might be compromised, or users that might be involved in illicit activities.
