techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-09-19 01:54:17

For decades, Fortune 500 companies had to hire market research firms to get meaningful insights into customer satisfaction. These services come with a hefty price tag and often take weeks to complete. Keplar, a market research startup, uses voice AI to conduct customer interviews, providing clients with analysis much faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional research consulting firms. On Wednesday, the two-year-old company announced that it raised $3.2 million in seed funding led by K

For many hopeful entrepreneurs, founding a successful company is a ticket to the top, the lofty promise of fame and fortune. Yet for a growing number of up-and-coming AI executives, a successful tech startup is the end in itself — not a step toward luxury, but a rejection of it. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the newest class of young founders flocking to the Bay Area are eschewing the frivolities enjoyed by their peers in favor of a proudly minimalist, monk-like existence.

Gamma ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe, unleashing as much energy in mere seconds as the Sun will in its entire 10 billion year lifespan.
