— #PlumeStrong will fund and create inclusive children’s education programs through Street Child for Ukrainian and Moldovan children —

ZURICH, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Plume®, the personalized communications services pioneer, last week completed its second annual #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge, a demanding five-day ride through Switzerland, raising €217,000 with the help of its partners to ensure refugee children in Ukraine and Moldova can safely access education programs. Plume employees were joined on the 675-kilometer ride by some of their partners and two-time Tour de France Winner Tadej Pogačar. In exceeding its fundraising goal, #PlumeStrong will help fund safe spaces, called Inclusive Learning Hubs, for Ukrainian refugee children and Moldovan children to learn, play, and build friendships, and have a sense of normalcy despite the challenging circumstances of war.

#PlumeStrong is Plume’s corporate social impact program, committed to serving its global community by making a material impact across five pillars: Health & Wellness, Education & Equality, Planet & Climate, Science & Technology, and Security & Privacy. The inaugural 2021 #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge started as an initiative to encourage Plume employees to stay mentally and physically healthy during the pandemic: 33 Plume employees cycled 680 kilometers through the Alps, raising $70,000. Plume donated 45 bicycles, helmets, and chains in Slovenia through the Slovenian Association of Friends of Youth, and almost $30,000 to the Ron Brown scholarship program.

This year, Plume opened up participation in its #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge to partners to make an even greater difference in the lives of children. Plume selected Street Child to equip the Inclusive Learning Hubs in Ukraine and Moldova with much needed technology resources, including internet subscriptions, routers, and devices.

A recap video from the 2022 #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge can be viewed here. Cumulatively our riders completed:

Distance: 24,412 kilometers, over halfway around the world.Elevation: 358,955 meters of elevation gain, the same as climbing Mount Everest 41 times.Saddle time: 1,101 hours and 46 minutes, the equivalent to riding for 46 days.

“The #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge was a resounding success with the industry coming together to raise funds to help ensure children in Ukraine and Moldova can access online education, despite war and many other hardships. It’s on us as a technology community to help make a difference in their lives,” said Fahri Diner, Founder & CEO of Plume. “We were thrilled to have the incredibly successful professional cyclist Tadej Pogačar along for the ride. Equally committed to supporting the dreams of young people, he is an inspiration to us all.”

Last year, the 23-year-old Pogačar was the first cyclist since 2017 to win back-to-back Tour de France titles; he became the first to win at least three jerseys in consecutive Tours in nearly four decades.

“I’m a fan of Plume’s technology to help with my training as well as staying in touch with friends and family while I’m competing. Plus, we share similar values: a commitment to using our platforms to help others in need,” said Pogačar. “I was honored to ride alongside Plume employees for this year’s #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge for such a worthy cause.”

Plume would like to thank all of its partners that helped make this year’s event a success and exceed the fundraising goal. Our participating partners include Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, Alpeaktiv, Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, Broadband Networks, Cablenet, Clements Bernard Baratta Walker PLLLC, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Heights Telecom, Jackson Square Ventures, Liberty Global, Pono, QTF, Sagemcom, Service Electric Cablevision, Sunrise, TMF Group, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and special thanks to Colnago.

PropAccount.com Adds Equities to Its Multi-Asset Prop Firm Platform, Opening the Door to the World’s Largest Trading Market

Published

on

By

White-label prop firm operators can now offer equities alongside forex, futures, and crypto, all inside one tech stack, at no additional cost.

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PropAccount.com, which is powered by FPFX Tech, and operates as the world’s largest white-label prop firm provider, has announced the addition of equities trading to its offering, bringing the world’s largest financial market within reach of every prop firm operator on its network.

With equities now supported inside the PropAccount.com ecosystem, white-label partners can offer equities trading challenges in single-session and swing-trading varieties.

One Platform. Four Asset Classes.

PropAccount.com is recognized as one of the prop trading industry’s most comprehensive infrastructure solutions, supporting forex, futures, and crypto across leading platforms, including DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader, Rithmic, and Tradovate. The addition of equities completes the grand slam of assets.

For existing PropAccount.com partners, equities trading slots directly into the same infrastructure that already handles trader onboarding, challenges, automated risk rules, account management, KYC, and payments. There is nothing new to configure, no new vendor to manage, and no new cost to absorb.

For new operators entering the industry, the launch path is equally direct. PropAccount’s white-label model allows operators to go live in as little as seven days, with equities available alongside the full suite of supported markets.

A Market Too Large to Ignore

According to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, U.S. equity market capitalization was at $68.2 trillion at year-end 2025, with daily trading volume averaging a record 18.6 billion shares. The numbers speak for themselves. Millions of traders worldwide focus on equities as a core part of their strategy, and the prop firm ecosystem has not offered this asset class – until now. PropAccount.com’s expansion into equities allows operators to reach this audience directly, building programs designed specifically for traders without fragmenting their existing infrastructure.

Wider Audience for Operators

For operators, the practical opportunity is audience expansion. Many equities traders have never engaged with a prop firm because no prop firm has spoken to them. Equities support on PropAccount.com changes that calculus, giving operators a direct path to a segment of the trading community that has largely been left out of the prop firm model.

The PropAccount platform handles risk monitoring, drawdown controls, scaling rules, automated payouts, trader dashboards, CRM, affiliate systems, and KYC: every operational layer required to run a professional prop firm. Adding a fourth asset class to that foundation required no new architecture. It was built to support it.

“Equities are the largest traded market in the world, and traders have been underserved by the retail prop industry for too long. Adding equities to our tech stack means our operators can now reach this audience directly with the equities they trade, without forcing them to adjust to equity CFDs.” – Justin Hertzberg, CEO of PropAccount.com

About PropAccount.com

PropAccount.com is the white-label prop firm infrastructure provider powered by FPFX Tech, the leader in prop trading technology. The platform enables entrepreneurs, trading educators, influencers, and IBs to launch fully branded prop firms in as little as seven days, using enterprise-grade technology covering trading platforms, risk tools, payments, KYC, affiliate systems, trader dashboards, and capital backing.

Health Karma Launches PersonalCare Bundles to Address America’s Underinsured Crisis, Unlocking Immediate Revenue Opportunity

Published

on

By

LEESBURG, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Health Karma Inc., a leader in proactive well-being and behavioral health solutions, today announced the national rollout of its Health Karma PersonalCare™ Bundles, a new product line designed to meet the urgent healthcare access needs of millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans – particularly independent contractors, part-time, and hourly workers.

Developed over the past two years and fully integrated into Health Karma’s proprietary mobile platform, the PersonalCare Bundles represent a scalable, direct-to-consumer healthcare access solution that is already gaining rapid traction across broker networks nationwide.

A Massive, Underserved Market – The launch comes at a critical time in the U.S. healthcare landscape:

Nearly 23% of working-age adults are underinsured, facing high deductibles and out-of-pocket costsApproximately 24 million Americans remain completely uninsuredMillions more experience gaps in coverage annuallyAverage deductibles now exceed $4,000, with marketplace plans reaching as high as $7,400+

These realities leave a significant portion of the workforce, especially gig workers and part-time employees, effectively locked out of timely, affordable care.

“We Are Not Insurance — We Are Access”:

Health Karma’s PersonalCare Bundles are not insurance products. Instead, they provide immediate, affordable access to healthcare services through a simple, app-based experience. Users can connect 24/7 with licensed physicians, Master’s-level behavioral health clinicians, receive diagnoses, and obtain prescriptions often at zero out-of-pocket cost within hours. One early user shared their experience after enrolling through a broker partner: “I had a severe breakout and couldn’t reach my primary doctor. Through the app, I spoke with a physician within an hour, received a prescription, and paid $0 for both the consultation and medication. The entire process took less than two hours and solved my problem completely.”

Immediate Revenue, Proven Demand – Health Karma reports strong early validation of the product:

Zero pushback from broker distribution channelsInitial pilot groups saw 127 immediate sign-upsNationwide rollout underway through thousands of insurance brokers and independent agentsAll bundles, even the entry-level bundles, generate significant and sustainable recurring revenue for Health Karma

With a growing network of over 100 experienced brokers ready to deploy, the Company anticipates rapid expansion in the coming quarters.

Flexible Distribution Model – The PersonalCare Bundles are uniquely positioned for mass adoption:

Available direct-to-consumer without employer sponsorshipNo requirement for licensed insurance agents to sellEasily deployable for employers via simple group enrollment and monthly billingAccessible across mobile, tablet, and desktop, with a seamless app-based interface

Part of a Broader Growth Strategy – This launch complements Health Karma’s expanding footprint across multiple high-impact verticals, including:

UniversitiesHealthcare and health benefit providersJustice-Impacted Reentry ProgramsFirst Responders and VeteransNative American tribal healthcare programsWorkplace violence response programsWorkers’ compensation solutions

Technology-Driven Expansion:

To accelerate adoption, Health Karma is preparing a 90-day rollout strategy leveraging advanced AI, SEO, and targeted digital marketing to reach high-need populations such as small business owners, gig economy workers, and uninsured individuals.

Executive Commentary:

Travis H. Jackson, CEO of Health Karma, stated: “This is one of the most important products we’ve developed. It directly addresses a massive and growing gap in the U.S. healthcare system. The demand is immediate, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the revenue potential is significant. We are moving aggressively to scale distribution and ensure this solution reaches the millions of people who need it most.”
