The average lifespan of a Chief Revenue Officer is less than two years. That’s less than the life of a hamster. The startups they preside over don’t fare much better: 90% of startups will fail within three years and only 2% of scaleups make it to Series D. Overall, three-quarters of venture investments bite the dust.

The tech driving UK shoppers’ early festive decisions

The joy of the festive season is all about connection – spending traditions together, creating special moments, finding that perfect something that lights up a loved one's face. Yet, for e-commerce, this time is also the biggest commercial battleground of the year, and it usually starts much earlier than December: 65% of shoppers start their gift search before November.

Why companies shouldn’t rely on one AI model

The inventor’s mindset: a conversation with Natalya Segal

The scope of Natalya Segal’s influence on the field becomes clear in her patent record. Segal and her team filed a graphics rendering patent addressing visual synchronization (US20120262463A1), smart rendering optimization, and cloud-based GPU usage – work that anticipated both cloud gaming and the GPU infrastructure now essential to AI development, with the patent later acquired by Google. Her subsequent wearable technology patents (US 9,955,286; US 10,225,721; US 10,959,099 (2021)) have been cited by Apple in multiple filings, as well as by Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, Dell, Sony, and Microsoft. Whether in cloud infrastructure or wearable interfaces, her work sits at the architectural foundation of modern computing.

How framing changes the way consumers perceive your offer

The Framing Effect is all about perception. The way you frame or present the same thing changes how people perceive it. Customers don’t just react to the facts; they react emotionally to how those facts are shown.
