No matter the type of organization, a question I’ve fielded dozens, if not hundreds, of times is: When is what we’re working on worth a press release? Since I’m writing to an entrepreneurial audience here, I’ll frame my answer to the specific nuances of this space. In the startup world, the most common times we see press releases are around a brand or product…
Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a small but welcome convenience feature with iOS 19: cross-device syncing for Wi-Fi access portals. This is according to the latest newsletter from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

CoreWeave, which has customers including Microsoft, raised $12.9 billion of debt in the…
