  • Businesses'and'startups'in'2015' By:$UTBA$ the Past Two Months Have Been Very Eventful for the Business World
    Businesses'and'Startups'in'2015' By:$UTBA$ The past two months have been very eventful for the business world. Markets worldwide were rattled on the 24th of August by the collapse in the Chinese stock markets, with the S&P 500 closing 3.9% down at the end of the day’s trading.1 Subsequently, the Fed delayed raising interest rates last month and doubt exists, as to whether it will do so this month. In other news, the world’s largest carmaker, Volkswagen has taken a serious beating both in terms of its reputation and market capitalization after the EPA announced that it had installed software in nearly 11 million “clean diesel” automobiles that masked the emission of hazardous compounds.2 Subsequent legal issues could prove to be very damaging for VW. As you would be knowing, speakers from over 12 startups in different industries will be part of the UTBA’s first speaker series on entrepreneurship. As a follow-up to the event, and to keep up your interest in the challenging start-up environment, here are three that could bring radical changes to their industries. 1)! Symphony Symphony Communication Services LLC, is a communications platform in the financial services industry that allows “financial firms and their customers to put all digital communications on a single platform”.3 For a business with more than 50 users, the platform costs just $15 (American) per user for a month and is free for smaller businesses and individuals.4 Bloomberg LP and Thomas Reuters Corp. provide similar services that can cost “tens of thousands of dollars per year for each customer”.5 Symphony is being backed by a total of 14 banks and money managers which include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, Credit Suisse Group AG, Bank of New York Mellon Corp.
