Donna Winrich, a friend of the HLSA community, has written a wonderfully wry little book titled A is for Annoying, A Sales Professional’s Primer. Donna’s career in sales and marketing has included consulting with Arthur Anderson and Accenture to banking services with NationsBank/Bank of America to leadership development with the Center for Creative Leadership. Her book, a brief tome perfect for gift-giving, is replete with real-life wisdom, gleaned from her years in the field, punctuated by good natured humor.

San Antonio-based Betty’s Co. won the $50,000 grand prize in the 2021 iteration of Tech Fuel. The startup pitch competition for early stage tech ventures was hosted by Bexar County and Tech Bloc, a local tech advocacy nonprofit, at a Thursday night event at the Tobin Center downtown.

A total of $100,000 was given out with every finalist receiving a cash prize.

Betty’s Co. is an online women-focused health company that offers health and wellness counseling, resources and products, most geared to younger women. Founded in January 2020 by Jennifer Newell, the startup plans to eventually serve as a one-stop shop for women seeking health care, particularly gynecological care.

Newell is creating a mobile app, mobile clinic, as well as partnerships with universities to provide these type of resources, as previously reported by the Business Journal.

The competition initially selected 25 semifinalists to pitch to a panel of judges in one of five semi-final brackets.

Other finalists included runner-up Alt-Bionics, a biotech company developing bionic limbs for amputees. Third prize winner EmGenisys improves animal production and promotes sustainability through reproductive technologies. Other honorees included IncentiFind, which helps developers, property owners and tenants find money for their real-estate and home improvement projects; and Astroport Space Technologies Inc., which converts moon dust into bricks and material for 3D construction printing of lunar infrastructure.

Originally launched in 2016 as a $50,000 competition, TechFuel doubled the prize money in 2019 through additional funding from the county’s Innovation Fund. Each fiscal year, $1 million in economic incentive funds are allocated by the county to this fund to foster local job recruitment, talent development competitions, business expansion and technical workforce training for targeted technology-based industries.

In 2020, San Antonio-based Backcountry Mills LLC, which does business as Grain4Grain and develops grain drying technology, won the $50,000 grand prize, while the previous year, Rectify, a data protection and privacy startup launched in 2018, won the grand prize.

American Doctors Address COVID-19 Misinformation with SCOTUS Press Conference

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Healthcare Leaders of San Antonio

*We embedded this video from Facebook when we first posted this item on July 27th. Within 24 hours Facebook had removed access to the video for everyone saying it was not true according to their “fact-checkers”. We had no idea the fact-checkers at Facebook had medical degrees, but thought you should be able to see it. Click here or on the screenshot above to watch the press conference in its entirety on BitChute.

As a corollary to the above story, America’s Frontline Doctors reported on the 28th that their host provider had taken down their website. It’s strange, if their treatment protocols have no merit why fear the message? Where’s the willingness to exchange ideas and debate the pros and cons of a particular treatment? Many of those opposing the use of HCQ as a treatment for COVID seem to rely on Dr. Fauci’s more recent comments, but since NIH research appears to substantiate its efficacy why should those findings be questioned at this particular point in time?

New! July 31st. Dr. Simone Gold falls victim to a further act of censorship, reporting she was fired for appearing in the America’s Frontline Doctors press conference video.
