| A big valuation for a meditation app, tech companies join the outcry against U.S. border policy and Facebook announces a platform for game shows. Here's your Daily Crunch for June 20, 2018. 1. Meditation app Calm hits a $250M valuation amid an explosion of interest in mindfulness apps Just a few years ago, it would have seemed like a tall order to convince investors that a meditation app could become a big business. And before this, Calm had only raised $1.5 million in funding. Co-founder Michael Acton Smith suggested that this funding shows how we're starting to borrow from eastern philosophy and take mental health as seriously as physical fitness: "This crossover is just beginning to happen in a big way." 
2. Tech leaders condemn policy leading to family separations at the border I know some of you don't like it when the newsletter gets political, but this is an issue that Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook have all felt compelled to speak out on. 3. Atul Gawande, the doctor and writer, named CEO of Amazon's employee healthcare JV Just another reason to finally make time to read Gawande's book Being Mortal. 4. Amazon Prime Wardrobe officially launches to all U.S. Prime members Prime Wardrobe, Amazon's "try before you buy" shopping service first announced last summer, is officially out of beta and open to all Prime members in the U.S. 5. Facebook launches gameshows platform with interactive video Instead of just building a competitor to the HQ trivia app, Facebook is announcing its own platform for HQ competitors, with Fresno's What's In The Box and BuzzFeed News' Outside Your Bubble as launch partners. 6. Aaptiv raises $22M from Amazon, Disney and more for its "Netflix for fitness", now valued over $200M The round includes a bunch of strategic investors — the aforementioned Amazon (through its Alexa Fund) and Disney, as well as Warner Music Group. 7. Keepsafe launches a privacy-focused mobile browser Keepsafe CEO Zouhair Belkoura said that when it comes to your online activity, there are different levels of privacy. There's the question of the government and large tech companies accessing our personal data, but also "the nosy neighbor problem." Keepsafe Browser addresses both. |
