Berlin's AI just rocketed from $350M to $2.3B. At the same time, Switzerland locked in €825M hydrogen funding, and N26 faced its toughest governance test yet. This is not Silicon Valley news. This is the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) reshaping startup dynamics — and it's moving fast. In this Startuprad.io Summer Wrap-Up 2025, we unpack: – How Berlin's open-source workflow AI became a unicorn and why enterprises are buying in now – Why EU hydrogen funding marks a generational climate infrastructure play for startups – What N26's leadership shake-up under BaFin reveals about fintech governance in Europe – How dual-use pivots (like Lilium's defense strategy) are becoming survival moves in tough funding markets – Why German tele-driving pilots and Bavarian endowment unlocks are more than policy headlines — they're startup railways – The rise of Europe's Stan index (Qwant + Ecosia) and Pinterest's Zurich AI hub

US equity markets declined on Friday (29 August), with declines for artificial intelligence (AI) related stocks weighing particularly heavily on the benchmark indices as investors also parsed the latest inflation figures - Dow eased -92-points or +0.20% after booking Caterpillar Inc (down -3.65%) was the worst performer in the 30-stock index a day after the maker of big farm and construction equipment warned tariffs would negatively impact its full year result by a greater amount (US$1.5B to US$1.8B) than previously forecast earlier this month when releasing its second quarter result (US$1.3B to US$1.5B). Nvidia Corp fell -3.32%, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that Alibaba Group Holdings has developed a new chip that it's now testing and that could be a domestic replacement for Nvidia's H20. Unlike a previous AI processor that relied on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for fabrication, Alibaba's new chip is being manufactured directly in China, according to the report. The U.S. government has restricted TSMC from shipping advanced AI chips to Chinese customers. American Express Co (+1.31%) and JPMorgan Chase & Co (up +0.12%) touched record all-time highs.

I sat down with Cary Katz, the man who quietly built the modern stage of poker. He's the founder of PokerGO, the one who brought us the Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, US Poker Open, and yes, even the Big Blind Ante. What fascinates me isn't just his $40M+ in tournament winnings, but his mindset: the shift from frustration to gratitude, from creating a prison with losses to celebrating them. Cary opens up about business risks, how passion projects cost more than you expect, and why he thinks integrity is the only real strategy in life.We also got into health, longevity, and some personal truths: how it took him 55 years to quit sugar, why lifting weights is a cheat code against the “four horsemen,” and how he views the next 30 years of his life as a freeroll. From billion-dollar loans to billions of minutes of poker watched, Cary's story isn't just about poker, it's about building, adapting, and finding perspective through the swings. He also finally lays out who he thinks are poker's true icons...

Michigan House Majority Floor Leader Rep. Bryan Posthumus (R-Rockford) joins the show to break down Lansing's budget fight. While Democrats are pointing fingers about a possible shutdown, Posthumus says Republicans already had a plan months ago, and the Senate still hasn't acted. He exposes the $1B overspending problem, the $3B “placeholder” with no road plan, and explains how Republicans are working to actually fix the roads with $3.145B, without raising taxes. If Whitmer promised to “fix the damn roads,” Posthumus says it's time to keep that promise.

Has Jesus returned already? Some early Christians were upset to hear that the Lord had come back, and they had missed it. That sounds kind of silly to us because we know that, when Jesus appears, no one will miss it! We have His word on that. And there are some events that must happen first. There's a mass de-conversion, for one thing; the Apostasy. And the capital-A Antichrist has to arise. We're in Daniel 9, talking not about the Rapture, but the Return.

Welcome back to another jam-packed episode of Tank Talks! Host Matt Cohen is joined by John Ruffolo to break down the biggest headlines shaping Canada's business, tech, and financial future. From the $12.3B privatization of Dayforce, to the Canadian government's long-overdue embrace of AI startups, and the urgent debate over stablecoins and financial sovereignty, this episode dives deep into the forces reshaping Canada's economy.Whether you're a founder, investor, or policy watcher, you don't want to miss this candid conversation on where Canada is winning and where we risk falling dangerously behind.Dayforce Acquired in $12.3B Mega Sale (01:15)Matt and John unpack Thoma Bravo's $12.3 billion acquisition of Dayforce, Canada's largest private tech buyout in history. They discuss why HR software has become a hot consolidation market, the risks of Canadian management talent shifting south, and what this deal signals for the future of SaaS valuations.The Rise of Tender Offers & Canva's $42B Valuation (06:01)With Canva's latest employee tender round oversubscribed, John and Matt explore why private markets remain so frothy, how valuation gaps compare to IPOs like Figma's, and what it means for Canadian scale-ups eyeing liquidity.AI Funding Frenzy: Cohere's $500M Raise & Government Partnership (07:30)Canadian AI champion Cohere announced a $500M round at a $6.8B valuation and a landmark MOU with the federal government. John and Matt debate whether government procurement can finally support Canadian AI companies and if AI cost curves are sustainable as token prices plummet.The AI Economics Debate: Infrastructure vs. Applications (10:05)With LLM costs dropping and cloud providers cashing in, John and Matt analyze whether the money in AI will flow to infrastructure giants like Nvidia and Microsoft, or to niche application-layer startups battling against the incumbents.Google's AI Energy Report & The Sustainability Question (13:24)Google claims its Gemini models are 33x more efficient than last year. John questions whether those numbers hold up at scale and what AI's true carbon footprint means for global adoption.China's Stablecoin Push & The Threat to Canadian Sovereignty (15:14)China moves toward approving yuan-backed stablecoins, while the US doubles down on dollar-backed alternatives. John warns that Canada's silence on stablecoin policy risks losing monetary sovereignty, while Matt predicts US dollar stablecoins could eclipse the Canadian dollar within a decade.Why Canadian Entrepreneurs Need “Team Canada” Capital (21:06)Drawing from his recent Substack essay, Chasing the Tornado, John argues that Canada's biggest risk is capital providers sitting on the sidelines. He calls for pensions, banks, and family offices to invest in sovereign businesses before Canada loses control of key industries.Walking Again with AI-Powered Robotics (23:47)On a personal note, John shares his inspiring first steps in a robotic exoskeleton built by Human in Motion Robotics. He describes how AI-driven rehab tech could transform mobility for millions and why this Canadian innovation deserves global attention.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

On this week's Weekly Rollup Ryan and David ask if the cycle top is in and whether alt season is coming, debating if it is time to buy the dip or sell everything while reviewing 30 market signals.

"Does anybody really know what time it is?" When it comes to reading the signs of the End, there's a lot of confusion. Some of that is intentional. Some of the befuddlement comes from putting too much stock in speculation - ours, or a teacher's. But Jesus wasn't confused. His watch was accurate to the nanosecond. He knew the prophetic time the same way we can know it: by the prophetic text. Here's Pastor Jim with part 1 of, So When You See...Be Sure to Flee.

First, a collection of first reactions to GPT-5. This week saw major AI shifts — from web-scraping battles to the brutal economics of AI coding startups. Cloudflare took aim at Perplexity over “stealth crawling,” Google defended AI overviews against claims they hurt web traffic, and reports revealed that coding firms like Windsurf and Replit face severe negative margins despite rapid growth.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1109: Today we're digging into Ford's $3B tariff troubles, why commercial EV fleets are booming even as consumer demand cools, and how OpenAI's new “Study Mode” could change the way students learn (without just handing out the answers).Show Notes with links:Ford Motor is bracing for a tougher financial year as U.S. tariffs on vehicles, steel, and aluminum cut deeper than expected. Shares dipped 3% after the automaker raised its tariff cost estimate by half a billion dollars.Q2 results were down $800 million from tariffs, less than GM's $1.1 billion hit.Full-year tariff cost now projected at $3 billion, up from $2.5 billion.Ford sees 80% of U.S. sales from domestic production, cushioning some impact.CFO Sherry House said tariffs on Mexico and Canada stayed higher for longer than expected, with steel and aluminum levies adding to the strain.CEO Jim Farley: “We see there's a lot of upside depending on how the negotiation goes with the administration.”While consumer EV demand has cooled, the commercial EV market is charging forward, with fleet operators driving massive growth. The shift presents new opportunities — and challenges — for dealers, utilities, and policymakers.Commercial EV registrations soared 274% to nearly 25,000, led by delivery vans, utility trucks, and big rigs.Class 2 EVs used for work jumped 69%, while light consumer EVs slipped 2%.Amazon already runs 25,000 Rivian vans, building its own charging network of 32,000+ stations.Dealers remain a critical link, but many fleets report visiting stores where sales teams weren't ready to support EV conversions.Calstart's Jacob Richard said state incentives and programs are key “When looking at that total cost of ownership, you kind of need to have those upfront incentives in the near term.”OpenAI is taking a swing at the “CheatGPT” label with a major update designed to help, not hand out answers. The new “study mode” in ChatGPT aims to guide students through learning rather than doing the work for them.Study Mode is live for all users now, with ChatGPT Edu access coming soon.It uses Socratic questioning and scaffolded responses to build understanding.Offers personalized support and quizzes for deeper learning.Students are calling it “a live, 24/7, all-knowing office hours.”OpenAI is partnering with Stanford to evaluate its real educational impact.“It helped me finally understand a concept I'd struggled with for months,” said one college tester.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Single And Satisfied Matthew 16:24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (NKJV) Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (NIV) Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. (NIV) 1 Corinthians 7:8 So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. (NLT) 1. DISCOVER THE GIFT OF SINGLENESS 1 Corinthians 7:7–8 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own GIFT from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. (NIV) 2. DESIRE FOR MARRIAGE DOES NOT HAVE TO EQUAL DISCONTENTMENT IN LIFE 1 Corinthians 7:28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. (NIV) 2A. RECOGNIZE THAT DESIRE AND CONTENTMENT ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS Philippians 4:11-13 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content WHATEVER the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (NIV) 2B. SEE GOD’S GOODNESS IN YOUR SINGLENESS, NOT APART FROM IT 3. DISCERN THE ADVANTAGES OF SINGLENESS 3A. FREEDOM 1 Corinthians 7:32-33 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— (NIV) 3B. FLEXIBILITY 3C. FOCUS 1 Corinthians 7:34–35 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in UNDIVIDED DEVOTION to the Lord. (NIV)
