Published

on

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Carta, the premier provider of equity management solutions, and Vouch, the leading business insurance provider for startups, are pleased to announce a strategic embedded partnership. This integration within the Carta Platform will enhance the experience for its 40,000 startup clients by streamlining the insurance buying process and providing tailored risk monitoring and coverage solutions.

“In today’s competitive startup landscape where capital efficiency is paramount, startups need to manage risk effectively, and insurance is a major part of that equation,” said Reed McBride, VP of Strategic Partnerships and Ecosystem for Carta. “Carta chose to partner with Vouch because we share the same goal: ensuring that great startups don’t fail for the wrong reasons.”

Sam Hodges, CEO of Vouch, added, “In particular, having the right D&O insurance is pivotal for protecting both company and personal assets. Vouch’s coverage is designed specifically for the needs of venture-backed founders and board members, with unique protections for risks like investor infighting and IP disputes. With increased insight from Carta, we can make even better recommendations so that startups and their founders are protected at every growth stage.”

With this embedded integration, Carta clients will now benefit from a more automated insurance application process. By integrating with Carta’s cap table, users can pre-fill parts of their insurance application, ensuring accuracy and saving valuable time.

This partnership also provides cost-saving opportunities for Carta’s extensive client base. Through the embedded offering, Vouch will soon introduce real-time risk and coverage monitoring solutions to Carta clients and access to tailored insurance packages and exclusive discounts.

The partnership is powered by the integration of two technology platforms: Carta API and Vouch Embedded Insurance. The Carta API, utilized by companies such as Stripe, Rippling, Deel, and Cooley, is a secure data service that enables partners to enhance insights and workflows for Carta users. Vouch Embedded Insurance enables clients to purchase and manage insurance at the point of need, like within the Carta platform. Together, Vouch and Carta are dedicated to strengthening the startup ecosystem by securely connecting essential tools and fostering operational best practices.

Rajat Kongovi, Chief Product Officer at Vouch, emphasized the strategic potential of the partnership. “This is just the beginning,” he stated. “At Vouch, we’ve developed the industry’s fastest and most flexible insurance platform, and its true potential is only unlocked with real-time data on company and industry risks. Together with Carta, we can transform the insurance experience for the entire Carta ecosystem—from founders to board members to investors—providing exclusive access to innovative coverages with unparalleled ease of management and unmatched value.”

By

Beauty-Stem debuted Miracle-48™ in the U.S., featuring a patented microsphere delivery system and exosome-derived extraction. The launch event included a live performance and testimonial by actress Victoria Summer, who praised the product’s visible skin-renewing effects. Experts call it a breakthrough in medical-grade anti-aging skincare, as the brand begins its global expansion starting with the U.S. market.

LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Beauty-Stem Biomedical, a biotech-driven beauty and wellness company, officially unveiled its flagship product Miracle-48™ at a high-profile brand event held in Southern California. Attended by leaders from the business, medical, and philanthropic sectors, the evening marked a significant milestone for the brand’s U.S. expansion and showcased its latest innovation in skin rejuvenation.

A Science-Based Breakthrough Years in the Making

Developed by an international R&D team led by Dr. Chai-Ching Lin, President of Power-Stem Biomedical, Miracle-48™ is the result of years of cross-disciplinary research and clinical testing. The formula blends regenerative science with modern skincare, powered by a patented microsphere delivery system that precisely carries and releases exosome-derived extraction deep into the skin’s layers.

Each milliliter contains over 100,000 microspheres and 800 million active factors, delivering 48 skin-revitalizing ingredients that help reduce fine lines, dullness, and sagging—kickstarting the skin’s natural renewal process.

Victoria Summer‘s Testimonial and Performance

International actress and singer Victoria Summer, fresh off a Best Supporting Actress win at Portugal’s FARO International Film Festival, lit up the launch with a heartfelt live performance. She also shared her personal experience using Miracle-48™, saying it made a visible difference in her skin.

“In just two months, my skin looked smoother, firmer, and more radiant,” said Victoria. “It brought back a youthful glow—and my confidence too.”

Inspired by Beauty-Stem‘s mission, she now serves as the brand’s global ambassador, supporting its message of natural beauty and wellness from the inside out.

A Promising Contender in the High-End Skincare Market

With demand growing for high-performance skincare backed by science, Miracle-48™ hits the U.S. at the right moment. “This isn’t your average moisturizer,” said Dr. Sahar Lashin, MD, PhD, founder of IntegrUtopia. “It brings medical-grade technology into daily routines—and raises the bar for what skincare can do.”

Doctors, beauty experts, and media at the event called it a “game-changer” in anti-aging, with some describing it as a modern-day fountain of youth.

Global Strategy, Local Impact

The Los Angeles launch was more than just a product reveal—it marked the first major step in Beauty-Stem‘s global growth strategy. With North America as a key market, the brand plans to build its presence through continued innovation and strategic partnerships in regenerative skincare.

Beauty-Stem remains committed to delivering high-efficacy, science-backed solutions that support both beauty and long-term skin health for customers worldwide.

Beijing Review: 50 Years of Growing Partnership

Published

on

By

BEIJING, May 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 6, 1975, China and the European Economic Community, the predecessor to today’s European Union, established diplomatic relations. This historic moment opened a new chapter of friendship and cooperation.

 

Over the past half a century, both sides have championed multilateralism, deepened collaboration and achieved mutually beneficial outcomes. Their enduring efforts have played a constructive role in advancing global peace and development. A healthy and stable partnership not only serves their interests, but also helps shape a better world.

“The wise find common ground; the unwise dwell on differences.” This slightly adapted line from the earliest known text on Chinese medicine, The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, reflects the spirit of cooperation between the two sides across decades and offers a guiding vision for the future.

In March 2014, shortly before his state visit to Belgium and visit to the EU headquarters, President Xi Jinping cited this ancient Chinese quote in his article published in Belgian newspaper Le Soir. The sentence emphasizes that wise people focus on shared values and embrace diversity to achieve mutual benefit; whereas the unwise amplify differences, foment conflict and invite failure.

Through this quote, Xi conveyed his hope that China and the EU will respect each other, treat each other as equals, seek common ground while respecting differences, deepen communication and stay committed to mutually beneficial cooperation. He called for finding the greatest common interests, sharing opportunities and jointly tackling challenges.

Given their differences in history and culture, social institutions and stages of development, it is only natural for China and the EU to have varying perspectives, and even disagreements, on certain issues. Like-mindedness makes for partnership, and seeking common ground while respecting differences is also a feature of partnership.

Both past experiences and present realities have shown that as long as both sides adhere to mutual respect, treat each other as equals and engage in candid dialogue, differences cannot stand in the way of dialogue, nor can disagreements impede collaboration.

To date, China and the EU have established over 70 consultation and dialogue mechanisms, covering a broad spectrum of sectors including politics, economy and trade, people-to-people exchange, science and technology, energy and the environment.

Bilateral trade expanded from just over $2.4 billion in 1975 to over $780 billion in 2024. Two-way investment, once negligible, surged to nearly $260 billion. Since its launch in 2011, the China-Europe Railway Express, dubbed the “steel camel caravan,” has reached 227 cities across 25 European countries, completing over 100,000 freight trips, and become a key link between Asia and Europe.

Throughout history, both Chinese and European civilizations have made lasting impacts on the progress of humanity. In recent years, exchanges in education, science and technology have flourished. Cultural exchange is becoming more vibrant and connections between people are growing ever closer, continuously enriching their shared stories of mutual understanding, cooperation, exchange and mutual learning.

“The wise find common ground; the unwise dwell on differences.” At the new starting point that is the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, China and the EU should remain true to the original aspiration of their partnership, seek common ground while respecting differences, build mutual trust and pursue mutually beneficial cooperation. Together, they will foster global peace and prosperity, as well as usher in a new, promising chapter in the next 50 years.
