Online dating has a trust problem. You match with someone, start a conversation, and three messages in you’re wondering if you’re talking to the person in the photos or someone running a script from a call center overseas. Fake profiles, catfishing, bots posing as humans. It’s exhausting. HundRoses, a dating platform in development for Canadian and American users, has a straightforward solution: make people prove they’re real before they can send a single message.
Here’s how it works. You can browse profiles without any verification, scroll through potential matches, and get a feel for the app. But the moment you want to actually talk to someone, verification is required. It’s a hard line that most dating apps won’t draw, but HundRoses is prioritizing safety over convenience.
The verification requirement only for messaging is smarter than forcing everyone through it upfront. People want to explore before committing, and there’s no point making someone verify their ID just to see if the app even has users in their area. But once you’re interested enough to reach out, proving your identity becomes part of the process. It’s the difference between casual browsing and genuine engagement.

This approach directly addresses what makes online dating feel unsafe for a lot of people. Women deal with harassment, fake accounts, and people who aren’t who they claim to be. Men waste time talking to bots or scammers. Everyone’s been ghosted by someone who was probably never real in the first place. Verification raises the floor. If someone has to verify their identity to message you, you know there’s an actual human on the other end. That baseline level of accountability changes how people interact from the first conversation.
The platform calls itself a dating app “built around respect and trust,” and the verification system backs that up. It’s not just a tagline or marketing language. It’s baked into how the app functions at its core. You can’t operate anonymously when it comes to making connections, which changes the dynamic from the start. There’s a real person behind every message, and both people know it.
HundRoses is launching in Canada and the USA, targeting North American singles who are tired of the same recycled experiences from Match Corporation’s family of apps. They’re currently offering early access to VIP members while the platform’s still in development, building a user base that values verified connections over anonymous browsing. The focus on Canadian and American markets gives them a contained launch to refine the experience before considering expansion.
The verification barrier separates people who are serious about meeting someone from those who just want to browse without accountability. For users fed up with fake profiles and dead-end conversations, that barrier is exactly the point. It filters out the noise before it even starts.
Dating apps have spent years trying to make everything as frictionless as possible, removing any obstacle between swiping and messaging. HundRoses is adding friction back in, but only where it matters. Browse all you want, but if you’re going to reach out to another person, you’re doing it as yourself.

For most clinics, the revenue cycle feels like throwing money into a void. Claims go out, denials pile up, and thousands of dollars sit in accounts receivable while practices wonder what’s actually happening. It’s a problem Gianni Gonzalez heard about repeatedly before founding Miixed Realities.
The company started from a conversation with a doctor in Hawaii who described the same billing headaches Gonzalez kept hearing from practices nationwide. Different states, different specialties, same struggle. “Patient care was never the problem. Billing was,” Gonzalez says. What clinics needed wasn’t more software. They needed experienced people who actually knew how to work claims from start to finish.
That’s where the company comes in. Miixed Realities, a leading medical billing office in El Paso, Texas, places HIPAA-certified, US-based billers directly inside a clinic’s existing electronic health records system and manages the full revenue cycle. Every claim runs through an in-house AI verification system before submission, and denied or unpaid claims get actively worked until they’re resolved. The pricing is straightforward: $5 per processed bill plus 6% of successfully recovered claims. No setup fees, no monthly retainers, no long-term contracts.
The company reports strong results. According to Miixed Realities, one pediatric clinic recovered $60,000 in just two weeks, and practices typically see 30% higher collections within weeks of onboarding. More than five practices have replaced their offshore teams with the company’s US-based billers. Miixed Realities integrates with over 50 practice management systems, including AthenaHealth, Kareo, Epic, and Cerner, and says it can have a practice up and running within 48 to 72 hours.
What sets them apart from offshore providers, according to the founder, is attention to detail and direct communication during US business hours. The company maintains 95-98% clean-claim rates and processes claims within 24 hours. Clients get full visibility through a real-time dashboard that tracks pending submissions, approved claims, denial statuses, and recovered revenue.
Miixed Realities is expanding its internal verification technology and onboarding specialty-specific billing teams. Practices nationwide can request a full audit to see exactly where revenue is being missed. It all goes back to that initial realization: clinics shouldn’t lose revenue because of preventable billing issues. With the right people and systems, they don’t have to.
When an Amazon seller account is suspended, confusion often sets in immediately. Automated messages, vague policy references, and limited communication channels make it difficult for sellers to understand what went wrong, let alone how to fix it. aSellingSecrets was created to bring clarity and structure to this process through a methodical approach to Amazon account reinstatement.
The reinstatement process at aSellingSecrets begins with a comprehensive account audit. Instead of responding directly to Amazon’s first notification, the team reviews seller performance metrics, historical warnings, prior appeals, listing activity, and operational workflows. This deeper analysis helps identify not only the stated reason for suspension, but also contributing factors that Amazon may not explicitly mention.
Once the root causes are identified, the team develops a tailored reinstatement strategy. This strategy is not limited to a single appeal submission. It includes corrective actions, operational adjustments, and communication sequencing designed to align with Amazon’s internal review process. The goal is to demonstrate accountability, compliance awareness, and long-term risk reduction, factors Amazon consistently prioritizes during reinstatement reviews.
A key component of the aSellingSecrets process is professional appeal creation. Each appeal is written with precision, focusing on facts rather than emotion. Clear explanations, structured corrective measures, and forward-looking prevention steps are combined to present a strong, credible case. This approach avoids common mistakes such as over-explaining, assigning blame, or submitting incomplete responses.
For complex or prolonged cases, aSellingSecrets leverages its professional attorney network in both the U.S. and EU. Legal insight is especially valuable in cases involving intellectual property claims, repeated suspensions, or compliance escalations. This added layer of expertise strengthens appeals and ensures alignment with regional regulations, and with 97% Success Rate on across all-time appeals.
Throughout the process, sellers are kept informed with realistic expectations. Reinstatement is rarely instant, and timelines can range from weeks to several months depending on the severity of the issue. aSellingSecrets emphasizes consistency and persistence, continuing to refine and submit responses when necessary until Amazon reaches a final decision.By combining structured analysis, strategic communication, and professional expertise, aSellingSecrets has built a reinstatement process designed for long-term success. Rather than offering quick fixes, the agency focuses on restoring seller accounts in a way that reduces future risk and helps businesses move forward with confidence.
There’s a certain kind of clarity that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. For Darius Borda, a young Romanian entrepreneur, that moment arrived in Lisbon, where he spent months collaborating with André Marquet, founder and CEO of Productized. What started as an exploration of Portugal’s tech ecosystem turned into something more concrete: the groundwork for his next business venture.
Borda didn’t just observe. He participated. He got involved in startup accelerators, the Productized Conference, the EUDIS Defence Hackathon, and the Lisbon GenAI Meetups, an exclusive community of AI specialists. It’s the kind of immersive experience that can’t be replicated from a distance.

“I came to Lisbon curious about entrepreneurship,” Borda said. “I left with new connections and the confidence to take the leap on my new business venture. Collaborating with André Marquet and being surrounded by people creating and launching their ideas was the best kind of learning.”
The collaboration worked both ways. Marquet found value in Borda’s IT management background and business instincts. “Collaborating with Darius Borda has been highly valuable,” Marquet noted. “His IT management expertise was essential to the organization of the Productized Conference, and his strong business acumen enabled meaningful deep-dives into entrepreneurial opportunities of mutual interest.”

Beyond the formal events, the real work happened in conversations about defence tech, entrepreneurship, and early-stage startup ideas. Those discussions haven’t ended. There’s talk of future collaborations, though nothing’s set in stone yet.
The experience gave Darius Borda something he didn’t have before: a clearer sense of what’s next and the foundation to build on it. Sometimes that’s what you need. Not answers, just enough clarity to start.
