The Lifetime Value Company Named as One of America’s Best Startup Employers

Forbes announced that The Lifetime Value Company (LTVCo.) is one of America’s Best Startup Employers in 2023 for its fifth annual list. 

America’s Best Startup Employers 2023, compiled in partnership with market research company Statista, evaluated 2,600 U.S.-based businesses with at least 50 employees based on three criteria: employer reputation, employee satisfaction and growth. Out of a list of 500 employers, The Lifetime Value Company ranked 362

“It’s an honor to be named as one of the country’s best startup employers,” said Josh Levy, CEO and co-founder of LTVCo. “We take what our employees want seriously, and one way we ensure we’re on the right path is releasing an anonymous employee Net Promoter Score. Each term, our team is able to submit constructive feedback that we then apply to our policies to make sure that our culture continues to meet the ever-changing wants and needs of our employees.”

To assess employer reputation, Statista searched articles, blogs and social media posts regarding each employer for specific phrases such as “corporate culture” and “employee engagement,” and used text analysis to assess those as positive, negative or neutral. Statista assessed employee satisfaction by evaluating online reviews. Growth was evaluated by examining the organizations’ website traffic and head counts over a two-year period. 

LTVCo. fell under the Business Products & Software Services category, which included 127 other businesses. As with all Forbes lists, companies do not pay any fee to be considered. Forbes also releases annual rankings for categories such as The World’s Best Employers and The World’s Top Female-Friendly Companies.

CannaBabe is Quickly Emerging in the Entertainment Industry After Debut of Exclusive Invite-Only Launch Event: ‘Kiss Me, I’m a CannaBabe’
Kiss Me, I’m A CannaBabe

While their event had high expectations, the execution spoke for itself. The founders had received an overwhelming amount of positive testimonials praising the curated atmosphere and intentions – it was quite inspiring.

Voices were amplified, gender gaps were diminished and the industry really showed out for the debut of CannaBabe’s private invite only launch event: “Kiss Me, I’m A CannaBabe” last Thursday at the Brooklyn Detroit.

While their event had high expectations, the execution spoke for itself. The founders had received an overwhelming amount of positive testimonials praising the curated atmosphere and intentions – it was quite inspiring. Diversifying the industry is no small task, but Mary Sharp and Jenna Kaltenberg found a fun and inclusive way to do so while also providing a safe and inviting environment for their guests. From the support from amazing sponsors to talented DJs keeping the event alive, and the amazing guests that embodied what it means to be a CannaBabe. It was an evening filled with music and art to curate a memorable night between elite cannabis brands and influential guests, aiming to provide an immersive, cannabis-friendly alternative to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! The event had hit full capacity weeks prior, and there were many that were unable to attend the debut; however, the energy of those who attended was immaculate. 

The local artist Sheefy McFly was performing live demonstrations of his work while also doing a giveaway of a painted skateboard deck along with a vintage McFly polaroid. DogHouse Cannabis co-branded the VIP lounge with Sheefy McFly decor reflecting the recent release of CRUD™️. Detroit Social Events and Curtis Lamar with Backwoods & Bonfires festival were generous enough to provide two VIP tickets to their annual summer festival hosted in Detroit. Hype showed out with their walking taco food truck to satisfy the munchie cravings of the 700+ attendees throughout the evening; it was hard to not have an appetite with so many engaging activations. Wynk was slinging sweet seltzers to provide guests with a balanced, light, social experience. Element Extractions was dabbling into their concentrates to ensure guests could be fully educated on their products while also learning how to get the potent high they were seeking for. Chill Medicated was serving up the syrup with their Mocktail bar to allow guests to sample their fast-acting syrup tinctures in a variety of fruity flavors and also gifting samples for guests to try later on. Chill Medicated was also providing massages with their topical body rubs for pain, inflammation and skin conditions. Each guest was allotted 5 minutes for a professional shoulder massage using the topicals, aiming to promote their latest lineup of Topicals To-Go that are intended for quick on the go use. With live back to back performances by DJ Kdirty and DJ Sillygirlcarmen, the evening was filled with house-tech vibes which is the perfect presetting to Movement creeping up quickly. These girls really know how to get the dance floor moving and grooving! Puff was generous enough to donate product to the CannaBabe pre-sesh for the ladies helping host the event, in addition to providing $1000 worth of product from their retail stores as a prize to a lucky guest. Additional brands, such as Light Sky Farms, Wana Brands, Michigander Fire, Heavyweight Heads, Flower of Life and Evolution Edibles all had table activations to connect and educate with guests at the event. CannaBabe is delighted to have such strong support from amazing local brands. They would like to recognize the brands and sponsors involved in the event that made this dream a reality. A special thank you to our presenting sponsor PUFF Cannabis Co. and Brand On Marketing for executing our vision visually. 

CannaBabe partnered with the Wana Brands FoundationBrand On Marketing and PUFF Cannabis Co to present a donation check in the amount of $6000 towards the chosen charity Alternatives for Girls on Thursday, March 30th. Every event hosted by CannaBabe will have a new charity organization, local to the area of the event is being hosted, to partner with and to donate proceeds from the event. By supporting CannaBabe, you support those less fortunate in local communities. 

“We believe there was a change that needed to happen and that change started with us throwing our first Cannababe Launch event, with a positive turnout of over 700 people throughout the evening from all over Michigan, out of state, consumers to investors, to people outside of the Cannabis industry looking to dip their toes into something they’ve never experienced or had been apart of. We have been to a multitude of events, and something we had noticed was that after every event everything just goes silent and it is the same 200 people we all know and no one or nothing new. We chose to use our voices to create a positive change and continue to spread awareness on not only the industry we are in, but the communities we are hosting these events in. With each event we throw we will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to a non profit organization we believe in. For this last event we donated a portion of the proceeds to Alternatives for Girls out of the SouthWest of Detroit. By acknowledging those out there who are in need of support, it will bring us all closer together as a community. We believe in throwing gatherings with a cause and spreading awareness for the bipoc, lgbtq+ community, and working together equally as any gender. Join us in continuing to make positive changes for not only us but everyone in the communities we are all a part of.” – MaryJenna, CannaBabe Founders

Absolute Sports Acquires Majority Stake in Pro Football Network, Expands Reach in the U.S. Sports Media Market

Absolute Sports Acquires Majority Stake in Pro Football Network, Expands Reach in the U.S. Sports Media MarketAcquisition bolsters Absolute Sports’ presence in the U.S. Adds leading NFL media publisher with 5 million unique monthly active users to its portfolio.

Absolute Sports, the parent company of Sportskeeda and one of the world’s leading providers of sports news and analysis with over 76 million monthly active users, announced today that it has signed definitive agreements, subject to closing conditions, to acquire a 73.27% stake in Pro Football Network LLC, a premier source of coverage and analysis of the NFL and college football. This marks the first acquisition for Absolute Sports in the U.S. sports media market as it looks to bolster its existing user base and offerings in the U.S. The all-cash transaction includes a primary infusion of capital and secondary stock purchases. 

With more than an average of 5 million unique monthly active users, Pro Football Network is widely recognized as one of the best NFL-focused sports sites in the country. Its in-depth coverage of the NFL, including unique content and tools aimed at fantasy football users, will add value to Absolute Sports’ existing portfolio of sports media brands. The acquisition will help both companies derive synergistic value, enabling extended coverage from the U.S.

“We are thrilled to welcome Matt and the entire team at Pro Football Network to the Absolute Sports family. This is our first step in building a portfolio of sports media brands, deeply focused on the largest sports markets in the U.S.,” said Anirudh Kumar, Chief Strategy Officer of Absolute Sports. “PFN’s highly engaged and passionate user base of football fans will be a great complement to our other brands, including Sportskeeda, which already have a large user base in the U.S.”

“We are confident that by replicating our hyper-growth playbook across our family of brands, we will continue to deliver outstanding experiences to sports audiences and build a dominant position in the U.S. sports media landscape,” Kumar said, highlighting Absolute Sports’ commitment to expanding its portfolio via more aggressive M&A and replicating its success across all brands.

PFN was founded in 2019 by its current Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Cannata, and Chief Administrative Officer, Aaron Sutton. The company’s relentless focus on quality content across different mediums, along with the release of its Mock Draft Simulator in 2020, has fueled its growth and has helped make it one of the top three sites for NFL news and analysis in the U.S. according to SimilarWeb rankings of January 2023.

“This is a huge day for Pro Football Network. For quite some time, we were looking for the perfect partner and Absolute Sports is just that,” said Cannata. “Their strategic investment and the resources they will provide us will change the football media landscape and allow us to compete on a global level with the biggest brands across the world.”
