Before it became a case study in global telehealth, RingMD started as a single prototype coded by a young founder who had noticed a basic problem: people had smartphones long before they had reliable access to doctors. Justin Fulcher built the platform to close that gap, first in Southeast Asia and later on a much wider scale across several continents. […]
Western Pennsylvania’s rivers, forests, and open spaces owe part of their current condition to a foundation that has spent nearly three decades funding ecological work in the region. Colcom Foundation, created in 1996, has become a steady presence behind projects that protect water quality and restore damaged ecosystems. Grants have gone toward organizations working to improve rivers and streams that […]
Ask why a standard facelift only lasts six or seven years and most surgeons point to gravity. Dr. Andrew Jacono points somewhere else entirely: the layer of tissue the surgery never touches in the first place, a gap he has spent his career trying to close. Skin Deep Versus Structural Traditional facelifts separate skin from the tissue underneath it, then […]
There is a version of Podcraft Media Lab that never exists. In it, Greg Soros takes the clients he has, serves them well, and builds a profitable boutique production firm without much noise. Instead, the Austin-based podcaster and studio founder chose a more complicated path: weaving mentorship for underrepresented creators into the DNA of his business, and making that commitment […]

Licensing Deals and Smart Acquisitions Jazwares made its name early through licensed […]

Basel Holding sits firmly toward the active end of that spectrum. Burak Basel has been explicit about this distinction in interviews and his Entrepreneur-featured writing. The firm does […]

Jazwares Cares was not built after Jazwares became successful. Judd Zebersky created it at the company’s founding in 1997, embedding philanthropy into a startup that had no guarantee of commercial survival. The program has grown alongside the business, operating today across multiple countries with programs that go beyond toy donations into school partnerships and employee volunteerism.
