Jewish community members who are part of the Jews Against Gassing (JAG) coalition will testify in the House committee on Tuesday, May 21, in favor of Senate Bill 430, which proposes removing the gassing method of execution from Lousiana law.
Briq, which has built a platform designed to allow all departments of a construction company to automate financial workflows such as accounts payable and payroll, has raised $8 million in an extension round at a $150 million valuation. The company opted to “wait out the market,” and raise a smaller dollar amount with less dilution at a flat valuation rather than go out and try to raise a Series C, said CEO and co-founder Bassem Hamdy in an interview with TechCrunch. MetaProp, whose managing partner Aaron Block is set to join Briq's board, co-led the round alongside Blackhorn and Eniac.
