Allie K. Miller can. The former Global Head of Machine Learning Business Development for Startups at Amazon Web Services — now an entrepreneur, advisor and keynote speaker —…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways While fintech is often celebrated for disruption, the real future of financial services lies in collaboration, not rivalry. Legacy institutions remain indispensable because they provide trust, structure and resilience, while fintechs bring speed, agility and access. The strongest partnerships rest on three fundamentals: trust in people, compliance as a sign of competence and alignment on long-term values. In conversations about fintech, the word disruption almost always takes center stage. Startups are often cast as challengers determined to outpace, outmaneuver and ultimately replace traditional financial institutions. And while disruption has an…

Zehra Naqvi recalls the magical days of the early social internet.   She grew up in the One  Direction and Marvel fandoms in the early 2010s. This was back when people posted photos of lattes using the Valencia filter on Instagram, and Twitter was still Twitter, a place where people came together to exchange jokes and cultural analysis.   But now Instagram is full of influencers, and Twitter is X, a digital town hall with a  fierce political divide.  “The platforms that won were the ones that kept people scrolling the longest, not the ones that made them feel the most connected,”  Naqvi told TechCrunch. “Now there is an abundance…

Key Takeaways The true cost of data loss extends far beyond recovery fees — including financial disruption, legal challenges and lasting reputational damage. It’s important to understand that while recovery costs can be high, they are usually much less than the financial damage caused by permanent data loss. Prevention is the most reliable strategy. Investing in regular backups, secure storage solutions and data protection software is far less expensive than attempting recovery after a major incident. For as long as computers have been around, one reminder has been repeated again and again:…

Andrew Lissimore has been running the audio apparel site Headphones.com for nearly a decade now. While audiophiles have a high affinity towards their gear and want to try out new gadgets, Lissimore wasn’t satisfied with continuously spending money on platforms like Meta and Google to acquire new customers; he wanted to find a way to better retain the customers he already had.

So he decided to build his own…

The more invested your team is in your brand, the more ROI you’ll see from nurturing your people above all else. I’ve spent years helping companies build bold, flashy PR campaigns that catch the media’s eye. But along the way, I’ve learned something even more valuable: You’ve…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. When I landed a Forbes feature in 2015 about “How to Get Press,” it felt like a defining milestone. I was energized by the “magic moment.” The coverage drove a surge of attention to SMACK! Media and, for a moment, validated years of work building brands from the ground up. A week later, as the initial buzz faded, I was reminded of something important: press is not a single moment, and certainly not a finish line. Unless the piece lands in Google’s top rank, press is raw material and fuel, particularly in…
