How the WTA balances purpose and returns: Seven takeaways from CEO Portia Archer

Women’s sports are no longer viewed solely through the lens of progress or purpose. Now,  they are increasingly being recognised as high-growth, high-value commercial properties, and few organisations better embody that shift than the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). At SportsPro New York in March, WTA chief executive Portia Archer outlined how the organisation is building on more than 50 years of legacy while evolving into a modern, global sports media business. With over one billion fans, more than 50 tournaments across 26 countries and record-breaking commercial deals, the world’s preeminent women’s tennis tour is operating from a position of strength. Whether it’s through progressive player benefits or bold commercial partnerships, Archer also highlighted how the WTA is positioning itself at the intersection of purpose and profitability. However, this is not about choosing between the two. Instead, the WTA is demonstrating how values-driven initiatives can coexist with, and even accelerate, commercial growth. Recent examples include a landmark sponsorship deal with Mercedes-Benz and the introduction of a maternity fund programme sponsored by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). At the same time, the organisation is navigating broader industry challenges, including fragmentation, an evolving media landscape and the need to balance access with

Video Startup Livid Raises $10M From StreamYard Founders, Targets Vimeo Users With …

A new entrant is positioning itself as an alternative in the video hosting market following recent changes at Vimeo.  Livid, an ad-free video hosting platform for creators and small businesses, has raised up to $10 million from Geige Vandentop and Dan Briggs, the co-founders of StreamYard. The investment reflects the duo’s continued involvement in the video infrastructure space after StreamYard’s ownership changes. Vandentop and Briggs built StreamYard into a live-streaming platform with more than 100,000 paying customers and over $30 million in annual recurring revenue before selling it to Hopin for $250 million in 2021. In April 2024, Italian tech conglomerate Bending Spoons acquired StreamYard as part of its purchase of Hopin’s assets and, according to Vandentop and Briggs, laid off the company’s entire team. Since then, Bending Spoons has expanded its presence in the video and creator tools market. In the latter half of 2025, the company acquired Vimeo for $1.38 billion. Subsequent layoffs affected multiple teams, including the video division, according to social media posts from employees. A spokesperson for Bending Spoons confirmed the reductions to Business Insider but did not disclose their scope. The cuts followed an earlier workforce reduction of roughly 10% in September 2025. The Italian company

The Dangers of Snapchat: NJ Man Accused of Targeting Teens

The Dangers of Snapchat: NJ Man Accused of Targeting Minors Snapchat - Photo by Souvik Banerjee on Unsplash A middle-aged New Jersey man, who prosecutors say was posing as a high school student, has been arrested on child porn-related offenses. 38-year-old Daniel Berwick of Old Bridge is facing two counts of producing child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. On Tuesday, Berwick made an initial appearance in federal court in Trenton, and he was ordered detained. How Investigators Say the Scheme Worked Federal authorities said last August and September, Berwick persuaded and enticed two minors to send him photos and videos via Snapchat that depicted them engaging in sexual activity. As part of his scheme, Berwick catfished his victims by presenting himself as a 17-year-old high school student and appropriating the photos and video recordings of an adult content creator. Law enforcement became aware of Berwick after one of the victims reported him on Snapchat after he threatened to send compromising photos of her to her family and officials at her high school.
