They’re known for their business that serves pre-packaged, pre-planned meals that are gluten-free and low cal.

But now, Doug and Kira Watt have started another food business, and this one will appeal to people who are throwing caloric caution to the wind.

The Watts, who together own and run Perfect Plate — a healthy-food business Kira founded in 2018 — have just launched a new food trailer called Watt’s Cooking & Catering.

It’s a pull-behind trailer that will be run by Doug and will serve fair favorites like funnel cakes, chocolate-covered cheesecake, cheeseburgers, fries, fried Oreos, fried candy bars and more.

Doug plans to take it to fairs and festivals all over the region once those are back up and running. In the meantime, he said, he’s also considering parking the trailer on various Wichita street corners to feed people with a fair-food hankering.

This morning, Noyo, a startup that provides APIs that link players in the health insurance space, announced that it has closed a $12.5 million Series A round of funding.

The new capital comes less than a year after the startup disclosed that it had raised around $4 million in pre-seed and seed capital, and that its product was already in the market.

At the time it was clear that Noyo had a laser focus on its part of the healthcare world. Now, nearly a year later, the company confirmed to TechCrunch during conversations surrounding its new capital raise that it’s keeping its focus for now.

Linking the carriers and platforms of other insurance verticals, or varietals, will have to wait.

But Noyo is working in an enormous market, namely the U.S. health insurance universe, one that could provide it with space to grow for years to come. The startup

Limited personal freedom due to the restrictions has lead to high rates of fatigue — 33% in UK, 21% in US, 19% in France — as well as

With apologies to John Donne, ask not for whom the bells tolls, HIPAA business
associates, it tolls for thee! While it has been the law for
some time that business associates could be held directly liable
for breaches, enforcement actions against them have been few and

Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS OCR) reminds us that business associates are going to

as HIPAA covered entities.
