Pivot Bio to Sponsor 9th International Nitrogen Conference

Global meeting to focus on improving nitrogen management for sustainable growth

BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pivot Bio, a leading sustainable agriculture company, is teaming up with the International Nitrogen Initiative to sponsor the 9th International Nitrogen Conference Feb. 5 to 8 at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in New Delhi. The summit will convene international nitrogen experts from around the world. Pivot Bio’s sponsorship supported the participation of more than 20 world-renowned scientists from Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Kenya, the Maldives, Nepal, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Uganda and the United States, all of whom will consider how to move closer to INI’s goal of cutting nitrogen loss in half by 2050.

“The International Nitrogen Initiative is the world’s leading platform for improving nitrogen management.”

“The International Nitrogen Initiative is the world’s leading platform for improving nitrogen management,” says Pivot Bio CEO Chris Abbott. “It is a critical place for academics, policy makers and both emerging and traditional nitrogen providers to come together to help ensure the world’s farmers can continue to provide the food the world needs in the face of increasing volatility.”

By way of background, nitrogen is essential to plant growth, but until Pivot Bio arrived on the scene, farmers had only two choices for their crops: manure and synthetic fertilizer. In both cases, the all-important nitrogen was vulnerable to runoff and leaching, which lead to waste for farmers’ and loss that lead to environmental challenges. For example, surplus nitrogen can become nitrous oxide, the most potent of the three leading greenhouse gases.

By adhering directly to the roots of crops, Pivot Bio products can avoid this loss by, “spoon feeding the nutrient to the plant throughout its life cycle.”

As a result, Abbott said, “We welcomed with open arms the opportunity to help fund the INI conference and to share our own journey to give growers a better, more environmentally sustainable form of nitrogen.”

The invitation to sponsor the INI conference came from David Kanter, associate professor of environmental studies at New York University, INI chairperson and a member of the Pivot Bio Science Advisory Board.

“We are grateful for the funding from Pivot Bio, of course, but our gratitude goes far beyond the sponsorship. Pivot Bio has developed a promising way of keeping nitrogen with the crops that could see very important benefits for the environment and farmers’ bottom lines,” said Kanter. “We are very pleased to prominently include their voice at the world’s leading conference for nitrogen science and policy.”

Abbott and Karsten Temme, chief innovation officer and a co-founder of Pivot Bio, will address conference attendees in a 36-minute presentation that explains the workings of the company’s technological advances and why we need to continue finding a way to replace synthetic nitrogen fertilizers with products that take into account the needs of growers and the planet.

“We want to find ways to combine with other great ideas out there, to take the best new innovations and get them in the hands of growers as quickly as we can,” Temme said. “So, if we can prevent excess nitrogen from leaving a field in the form of nitrous oxide or nitrate runoff, for the grower, it’s better because 100% of the investment they make ends up getting converted into fuel for a crop.”

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

Published

April 20, 2026

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.

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:

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

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.
