11.5.2022 15:02:07 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Alira Health (www.alirahealth.com ), a global healthcare advisory and technology company, today announced the acquisition of RedCrow, an alternative investment platform that provides individual investors with easy access to expert-vetted healthcare start-ups. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
RedCrow was launched in 2016 by Brian Smith, a former Morgan Stanley financial advisor, and Jerry Harrison, an entrepreneur and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Talking Heads. RedCrow mines the “wisdom of the crowd” to help find companies that resonate with an audience that may not only use a product but also invest in and realize a return from the company that invented it. This acquisition extends Alira Health’s ability to partner with patients across the lifecycle of drug and device development into the financing phase for early-stage pharma, MedTech, and healthcare services solutions.
“From personal experience, the founders at RedCrow recognize that not every drug or device receives the right investment,” said Gabriele Brambilla, CEO, and founder of Alira Health. “By reinventing and democratizing the way early-stage companies get funded, RedCrow helps more healthcare solutions come to market that can save patients’ lives. Alira Health already partners with patients across the development lifecycle. With RedCrow, we can now involve patients, their care circles, and other investors in the financing phase for new products that may also improve their care outcomes.”
RedCrow’s Brian Smith added, “We founded RedCrow with the belief that healthcare investing should be more immediate, transparent, and accessible, and that patients and their family members should be able to help fund future developments that may impact their own care. We embrace Alira Health’s mission to humanize healthcare and view our platform as a natural extension of Alira Health’s business model. At the same time, early-stage companies on the RedCrow platform can benefit from the breadth of Alira Health’s extensive services offering.”
Since its founding, RedCrow has marketed over 250 fundraises totaling $250 million. Recent success stories include HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT), Sen Jam Pharmaceutical, Activ Surgical and Centerline Biomedical.

Icon Solutions Showcases How Banks Can Accelerate Digital Asset Innovation with IPF9.6.2026 11:30:00 CEST | Press release
Banks can now deploy digital asset payments faster, without risking fragmentation Icon Solutions – the UK fintech enabling banks to design and implement state-of-the-art payment systems – has released a reference implementation showing how banks can use the Icon Payments Framework (IPF) to accelerate support for payments processing using distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based digital assets. As IPF is agnostic to both the type of digital asset and the DLT network on which they are issued, the risk of fragmentation is reduced as adoption scales. There is growing momentum for digital assets such as stablecoins, tokenised deposits, deposit tokens and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to enable faster, cheaper and smarter payments. Yet the emergence of different digital asset types and DLT networks – which must also work with existing financial infrastructure – creates fragmentation and operational complexity for banks. This is compounded by legacy vendor solutions that limit choi

Forrester Reveals The Top 10 Highest-Performing Brands In Its 2026 Global Total Experience Score Rankings At Its CX Events9.6.2026 09:30:00 CEST | Press release
Introduced last year, the Total Experience Score evaluates the combined influence of brand and customer experience on overall brand perception among both noncustomers and customers According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2026 global Total Experience Score rankings of 375 brands evaluated across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America in 2025 and 2026, 41% improved their scores while only 3% declined.

While brand experience and customer experience can each drive revenue independently, the impact multiplies when they are orchestrated together as a unified total experience. In the US, for example, companies delivering a strong total experience see significantly higher returns from retention and enrichment
