Notable endeavors from our clients and contacts have also made headlines. Backend Benchmarking CEO Ken Shapiro has been named to Forbes’ 2019 Best-In-State Wealth Advisors in New York. SHOOK Research determines the list based on quality of practice, industry experience, compliance record, assets under management, and revenue. ff Venture Capital was featured among forward-thinking investors in a Venture Beat article detailing promising AI technologies. They contributed $7.6 million to a chat-bot (a market expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2025) that targets job-seekers and advances the hiring process. And Propelify has received a major grant from the NJ Economic Development Authority, propelling an exciting local partnership that will strengthen Hoboken as a vibrant hub for technological innovation in New Jersey.
Last month, thought leaders in the blockchain, smart contracts, and digital currencies space convened for a candid discussion at NJ Tech Council’s Blockchain event hosted in our Newark office. A panel discussion was moderated by Dave Sorin, with panelists ultimately agreeing that laws and regulations must be solidified to help the technology thrive. There were also roundtable discussions supported by McCarter’s VC finance, tax, IP, and trusts and estates attorneys, as well as a keynote address presented by McCarter’s client Richie Etwaru, founder and CEO
of Hu-manity.co.
