    Stacker, Sid Orlando for Mercury|Updated Sep 20, 2025

    Founders are rethinking startup funding, and VC isn’t the default Venture capital may still dominate Silicon Valley headlines, but most early-stage founders aren’t relying on it to fund their businesses.

  • Cold email templates that actually get replies

    Stacker, Jesse Fernandez for Apollo.io|Updated Aug 30, 2025

    Cold email templates that actually get replies Most sales reps think cold email is broken. "Nobody reads cold emails anymore," they say. "Email is dead." They're wrong. What's broken isn't the channel — it's the approach. Apollo.io analyzed thousands of cold emails sent to CEOs, founders, VPs of sales, and other executives to understand why some emails get forwarded to procurement teams while others get deleted in three seconds. The difference isn't luck. It's science. The 8...

  • Can you get a business credit card with no personal guarantee?

    Stacker, Ken Boyd for Ramp|Updated Aug 30, 2025

    Can you get a business credit card with no personal guarantee? Running a business is a stressful pursuit, especially if you have to put up a personal guarantee to get your business credit card. When you personally guarantee your company's credit card debt, you’re responsible for repaying it if your business can’t. That’s what makes business credit cards with no personal guarantee so attractive: The business, not the owner, is responsible for all debts. This creates a clear...

    Stacker, Maria Fernandez for BuchhaltungsButler|Updated Jul 31, 2025

    Where state income taxes hit the middle class hardest If you’re earning $50,000 a year, where you live could mean the difference between paying less than $50 or about $4,000 in state income taxes annually. That’s a lot more in your pocket — or your state’s coffers — depending on whether you call North Dakota or Oregon home. This wide disparity highlights a shifting tax landscape across the United States, one where location alone can drastically shape a worker’s financial r...

That's especially true in the states with no-fault insurance. In these states, getting paid after a crash (and whether you can sue) follows a very different set of rules. No-fault and at-fault systems take two distinct approaches to accident claims. Knowing which one applies affects how quickly you get...

    Uber’s new shuttles look suspiciously familiar to anyone who’s taken a bus Every few years, a Silicon Valley gig-economy company announces a “disruptive” innovation that looks a whole lot like a bus. Uber rolled out Smart Routes a decade ago, followed a short time later by the Lyft Shuttle of its biggest competitor. Even Elon Musk gave it a try in 2018 with the “urban loop system” that never quite materialized beyond the Vegas Strip. And does anyone remember Chariot? Now it’s...

  • Top-earning women's tennis players of all time

    Stacker, Katrina Sirotta|Updated Jun 27, 2025

    In 1968, professional tennis entered the Open Era. With the introduction of the four Grand Slam tournaments—the U.S. Open, Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon—the division between pros and amateurs finally ended. But there was still the matter of male versus female players. In 1973, Billie Jean King famously beat Bobby Riggs in "The Battle Of The Sexes," winning $100,000. But her plea for gender equality came three years prior when she won the Italian Open and ear...
