A few days ago, we wrote about bargain hunting for software-as-a–service (SaaS) stocks. The piece was partly about finding value in legacy software companies making the transition to a SaaS business model. In the article, we used PTC Corporation (PTC), a software company that specializes in building design software that has expanded into IoT and […]
We recently did a deep dive into a fast-growing telehealth company that’s trying to become the go-to platform that employers use to cut healthcare costs by emphasizing things like primary care video visits. There’s quite a scramble to grab market share in digital healthcare, including from Amazon, though the e-commerce giant hasn’t quite conquered the […]
Water cannot leave our planet and it does not arrive from space. The amount of water available on earth always stays the same, it’s the availability of water that changes. In Bangladesh, small villages use packs of pills distributed by NGOs to purify pond water and make it drinkable. In Pacific Island countries, expensive desalination […]
Probably the best thing to come out of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) era is a population of stocks that all started out at the same price point. This makes it exceptionally easy to gauge performance at a glance. That is until stocks start splitting, but we have a feeling the only splitting happening […]
Simulating reality is an increasingly common occurrence in today’s tech startups, whether that’s modeling the behavior of cancer cells or creating a digital twin of a factory floor. While tools like Google Maps now help us navigate the real world using a virtual representation, the functionality stops outside the doorsteps of the more than 4 […]
If we had to guess the largest industry that was the furthest behind in technological advancement, we might say shipping. That’s because it’s an extremely fragmented operation, spanning 3,700 major ports and terminals worldwide.

They say you shouldn’t run a business unless you can describe what it is to a small child during an elevator ride. Here at Nanalyze, we find smart people who spent too much money on their educations and pay them peanuts to tell stories about exciting technology companies. Many of the people who read these […]
One of the things that you learn after being a digital nomad for a while is that some cities are much better designed than others. There is a certain aesthetic quality to a well-laid out urban center like New York City compared to, say, Boston, which one article on the topic of city grids said […]
We recently marveled at the rapid growth of an Internet of Things (IoT) startup called Samsara that went from $0 to $6.3 billion in valuation in just four years, quickly dominating sectors like fleet management and industrial automation. Of course, we live in a fantasy startup world where herds of billion-dollar unicorns roam wild, consuming […]
A lot of our articles on green technology focus on innovations that wean us away from the burning of fossil fuels, whether it’s improving solar fuel efficiency or designing advanced nuclear power plants. But another strategy to lighten the load on mother Earth rather than start packing for Mars is to be more efficient in […]
