Catching up with Tovuti, Which Wants to Disrupt Corporate Training

May 24, 2019 Vol. 40 No. 33 • $3.50 U.S. News ranks Idaho as 16th best state BY STEVE SINOVIC Idaho Business Review

The Gem State might be tops on a lot of recent “best of” lists, and the latest U.S. News and World Report best state rankings sees Idaho making a respectable showing. In its third annual survey published May 14, the magazine scored Idaho No. 16 overall out of the 50 states for how well it’s providing key services and opportunities for its residents. Idaho, which slid from last year’s No. 12 spot, was rated No. 32 in the first year of the survey.

Lawn care startup looks to make some green in Boise

BY STEVE SINOVIC Idaho Business Review

An on-demand lawn maintenance business has brought its app to Boise. Inspired by the likes of the Uber ride-sharing app, Lawn Love hopes the same approach will work for those who need their grass mowed, bare lawns sodded, trees trimmed and more. Like Uber, tech startup Lawn Love doesn’t actually do any of the labor. Rather, it’s in the business of pairing customers with local lawn care providers, and taking a portion of the fees for the work in exchange for convenience. The ﬁ ve-year-old tech-startup aims to streamline the outsourcing of lawn care services. Already, the company has hundreds of customers in Boise and partnerships with over 40 Boi- se lawn care businesses, according to CEO and founder Jeremy Yamagu- chi. “Traditionally, homeowners have had to wait for a lawn care provider to physically come to their property, o¢ er a quote and then schedule a service. It can take weeks to get the job done after the initial contact is made,” said Yamaguchi. Now operating in 120 cities in 41 states, Yamaguchi said the company’s contractors are doing “tens of thou- Photos courtesy of Lawn Love sands of jobs” every month.

ConnectYourCare works with employers of all stripes – as well as individual business owners – to primarily help administer self-funded health savings, fl exible savings and retirement health accounts. These accounts are typically funded from employees’ paychecks, sometimes with an employer contributing, and used to pay medical bills not covered by insurance. Others are used by individuals in retirement after the accounts have grown in interest-bearing instruments like mutual funds.
