However, Upstart Holdings (UPST +6.92%) believes this approach is outdated because the FICO score only considers a handful of basic factors which don’t paint a full picture of a person’s ability to repay a loan. Upstart developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that analyzes over 2,500 data points to gain a better sense of a potential borrower’s creditworthiness, and it has become a popular tool…

For Neal Shah, the breaking point came during his wife’s cancer treatment.  He remembers being overwhelmed, surrounded by stacks of hospital bills, denial notices and insurance statements. When he and his wife tallied everything — from monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs to uncovered treatments — they realized the shocking truth that over the years, they might have been better off paying entirely out of pocket than carrying health insurance at all. At first, Shah chalked all of the bills and denials up to bad luck.  “Then, I went down a rabbit hole of research, of just trying to figure out…

Ashford Homes wants to build two two-bed semis and seven four-bed detached houses on a half-hectare piece of land on the eastern edge of the village, opposite Honey Farm and not far from the Baptist Chapel. The land sits between homes at Lewis Court and off Goose Street. The site was previously the subject of a planning application for three houses in 2014. Wiltshire Council refused planning permission and a subsequent appeal was rejected by the Planning Inspectorate. The applicant argues that because Wiltshire Council cannot meet its house-building targets, permission should be granted. Each of the properties will have…

Some imagined we’d have flying cars by 2025. Sampriti Bhattacharyya is betting that vision will be closer to the water. Bhattacharyya’s Bay Area startup, Navier, is building hybrid-electric boats that glide above the water, vessels that she believes could not only change commercial transportation, but also military use.”Why don’t we have boats at scale that are, like, Uber on the water?” she said in an interview with Business Insider. “If you can move things on the water at the cost, speed, and convenience of land and air, you can build large networks of transportation.”Bhattacharyya’s interest in maritime — which she…
