Good Evening!
Your dinner might be coming to you soon via DoorDash Air.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🩺 FTC is Suing Hims & Hers For Sending User Data to Meta & Snap
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sued telehealth platform Hims & Hers today alleging that the company shared users’ health data with online advertisers, including Meta and Snap, and engaged in deceptive billing and cancellation practices. Hims & Hers called the claims baseless in a post on X. (Reuters)

3. 🥡 DoorDash is Building its Own Drone Delivery Business
Why partner with a delivery provider when you can build your own solution? That’s what DoorDash is attempting with building its own drone delivery business, including its own aircraft. The company unveiled the new business, DoorDash Air, after receiving a Part 135 air carrier certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, allowing it to legally operate its commercial drone delivery service.

4. 🙏 Need a killer hire but can't justify a $150,000 salary?
I'll place an A-Player with years of experience doing exactly what you need them to do... for a fraction of the salary and recruiting fee of a US employee.
I've built multiple 7-figure-a-year businesses with large teams of Eastern European talent that continually overdeliver. Time zones, taxes, and communication are no longer an issue when hiring overseas!
5. 😳 U.S. Govt Just Banned Roombas
Yesterday, the White House announced it’s banning foreign-made “advanced robotic devices” from entering the U.S., which includes robot vacuum cleaners. There’s no impact to existing Roombas and companies can keep importing and selling already approved ones. But the government may ban future models and is pushing for robovac companies to commit to U.S. manufacturing. (The Verge)
6. 📞 Encore AI Raised $30M to Build AI Agents That Learn From Customer Calls
Your next customer service call could be teaching AI. Encore AI, a startup that studies companies’ customer interactions to train and deploy AI voice agents that can work alongside customer support and sales teams or operate autonomously, has raised $30 million in a Series A round led by Team8.

The fundraise comes as the startup launched its next-generation AI text detection model, Pangram 4, and an AI image detection model, Pangram Image. (TechCrunch)
