A workforce for good
- Health is wealth, as the saying goes, and this applies to startups too.
- 500-backed aggregator iPrice is committed to improving the physical and mental health of their team members.
- They’ve partnered with fitness app ClassPass and mental health center Humankind, to foster better health amongst iPricers.
- “By offering access to ClassPass, we hope to empower our team to discover a wide range of physical activities and wellness experiences that can suit their unique preferences and schedules.”

Delivering transparency
- Congratulations to 500-backed logistics platform Parcel Perform’s data and research arm, Parcel Monitor, for launching the world’s first global database of carriers!
- This first-of-its-kind database is designed to provide visibility into the delivery performance of logistics players in the market, empowering businesses with the insights to enhance operational efficiency and optimize their supply chain.
- The comprehensive database consists of two main components: an overview of logistics players worldwide, and an in-depth view into the specifics of each carrier’s delivery performance.
- “Our global carrier database is designed to empower merchants and carriers with valuable insights to make informed decisions about their logistics partners,” Founder & CEO Dr. Arne Jeroschewski shared. “Parcel Monitor is committed to driving transparency in e-commerce, and we see Parcel Monitor’s global carrier database as a significant stride in that direction.”
