Andreessen Horowitz-Backed Startup Health IQ Files For Bankruptcy - Forbes

On December 8, 2022, after raising more than $200 million in equity and convertible debt from the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, startup Health IQ started laying off hundreds of employees and contractors.

Just five days after the layoffs, the company’s cofounders Munjal Shah and Gaurav Suri each received a $42,000 “vacation accrual” payout. “I am very sorry that I lost your money,” Shah wrote in an email updating investors on Health IQ’s financials that same month. Since writing the email, Shah collected over $170,000 from the company, according to a Forbes analysis of court filings, despite stepping back from Health IQ operations in early January and resigning as CEO shortly after.

On August 30, Health IQ filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in federal court in Delaware stating that it owes $256.7 million in liabilities to lenders, investors and vendors. The total assets listed in the filings? Just $1.3 million.

The mystery of Morocco’s missing king - The Economist

This article is part of our Summer reads series. Visit the full collection for book lists, guest essays and more seasonal distractions.

Five years ago, an unusual image appeared on Instagram. It showed Mohammed VI, the 54-year-old king of Morocco, sitting on a sofa next to a muscular man in sportswear. The two men were pressed up next to each other with matching grins like a pair of kids at summer camp. Moroccans were more accustomed to seeing their king alone on a gilded throne.

The story behind the picture was even stranger. Abu Azaitar, the 32-year-old man sitting next to the king, is a veteran of the German prison system as well as a mixed-martial-arts (MMA) champion. Since he moved to Morocco in 2018 his bling-filled Instagram feed has caused the country’s conservative elite to shudder. It’s not just the flashy cars, it’s the strikingly informal tone in which he addresses the monarch: “Our dear King,” he wrote next to one photo of the two of them together. “I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us.”

How to Write a Résumé That Stands Out - Harvard Business Review

It can be hard to know how to make your resume stand out. Start by accepting that it’s going to take some time and effort. Don’t try to sit down and knock it out in an hour – you’re carefully crafting a marketing document. Open strong with a summary of your expertise. Use an accomplishments section after the opener to link your experience to the job requirements. You don’t want to waste space upfront on irrelevant job experience. It’s okay to be selective about what employment, achievements, and skills you include; after all, you should tailor your resume for each position. Give concrete examples of your expertise, quantifying your accomplishments with numbers where you can. Seek input from a mentor or friend who can review it and give you feedback. Lastly, create a personable LinkedIn profile to complement your resume.

The resume: there are so many conflicting recommendations out there. Should you keep it to one page? Do you put a summary up top? Do you include personal interests and volunteer gigs? And how do you make it stand out, especially when you know the hiring manager is receiving tons of applications? This may be your best chance to make a good first impression, so you’ve got to get it right.

First things first: Don’t send the same resume to every job. “You can have a foundational resume that compellingly articulates the most important information,” says Heifetz, but you have to alter it for each opportunity. Of course, you may need to write the first version in a vacuum but for each subsequent one, you need context. Heifetz recommends, as a first step, you carefully read the job description and highlight the five or six most important responsibilities, as well as a few keywords that you can then use in your resume. This exercise should then inform what you write in your summary, and the experiences and accomplishments you include. Each version doesn’t need to be radically different but you should “tweak it for the position, the industry, etc.,” says Lees. He suggests you might change the sequence of the bullet points, for example, or switch up the language in your summary.
