Why Supervised Believes AI Is The Best Way To Talk To Your Team
Ask almost any chief executive and they'll tell you that their business's people are its most valuable assets. No doubt that's true but unlocking the value of those people – all their knowledge, experience and expertise – gets harder and harder as organisations grow bigger. Enter the Swiss start-up Supervised, which claims artificial intelligence (AI) can confront this problem.
'Large organisations, with so many people, layers of management, physical locations and time zones, are highly inefficient,' says Adrien Treccani, CEO of Supervised, which is today announcing the successful completion of its first seed investment round. 'Leaders spend so much time trying to understand the context of the challenges that the business faces.' One recent study suggested knowledge loss costs Fortune 500 companies more than $30 billion a year, he points out.
In particular, Treccani points to the countless hours manager spend in meetings with their teams and individual employees; much of this time is spent getting updates and reports on work in progress, rather than on operational or strategic issues that might move the dial for the business's commercial performance. 'Managers are spending up to 30% of their time in status meetings while critical insights remain trapped in endless update cycles,' Treccani adds. 'The most valuable insights never reach decision makers.'
This is where Supervised can help, the company believes. Exploiting the latest developments in AI, it aims to help businesses collect routine information from staff so that leaders can spent more time on more valuable interactions. Supervised has developed AI agents that can manage phone calls with team members – the agent asks individual employees about the progress they're making with key tasks, gathering updates on any problems or new developments. It can then summarise this information in reports to their managers.
'We're building the intelligence backbone of the organisation,' Treccani says. 'We deal with the main burden that large organisations face today – how to ensure that key information flows upwards.'
Do individual employees resent having to account for themselves to an AI agent, rather than their human managers? Treccani says that Supervised's implementations to date suggest not. For one thing, he says, the quality of AI-generated voice agents is now high that employees enjoy the interaction. Conversations are also to the point and can be scheduled at a time that most suits the employee.
'Supervised isn't going to replace managers altogether but it will free up managers to manage, rather than focusing on status updates,' Treccani adds. 'They'll be able to jump in at a much earlier stage to support their teams.'
If the concept seems remarkable, Supervised points to early successes with enterprise customers in sectors including consumer goods, manufacturing and finance. It is also beginning to get traction with large public sector organisations. Most of its deployments are relatively small-scale, but several clients are now expanding their use of the company's technology.
Supervised, which launched commercially in the third quarter of last year, believes it has developed the right technology at the right time. The company points out that 40 million baby boomers are due to retire from organisations in Western markets over the next decade, representing an unprecedented loss of knowledge. Also, the shift to new models of work, including remote and hybrid working, have added to the communications challenges faced by many organisations.
More broadly, market research suggests the global market for enterprise intelligence platforms could be worth $60 billion by 2033. Advances in voice AI are continuing at pace, underpinning Supervised's approach.
The company's first investment round – Supervised is not disclosing publicly how much it has raised – will provide it with additional financial firepower to exploit such opportunities. 'We see significant scale-up opportunity across all industry segments, as both large and small firms face similar challenges in leveraging AI effectively,' adds Treccani.

SailPoint Announces Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Results
Grew ARR 30% year-over-year to $925 million Increased SaaS ARR 39% year-over-year to $574 million Expanded the number of customers with more than $1 million of ARR by 62% year-over-year AUSTIN, Texas, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended April 30, 2025. 'We delivered another strong quarter, driven by continued expansion across our customer base and strong adoption among Fortune 500 and Forbes Global 2000 companies,' said Mark McClain, CEO and Founder, SailPoint. 'Enterprises are turning to SailPoint to manage both human and digital identities at the scale and speed required to stay ahead. Our ability to deliver both breadth and depth of identity security—on a platform that's AI and data-driven and built for extensibility—combined with disciplined execution, fuel our consistent performance.' 'As identity becomes the hub of modern digital security strategy, SailPoint continues to lead with innovation and deliver real results,' McClain continued. 'Our growth this quarter underscores the market's demand for a next-gen identity platform built for resilience, intelligence, and impact.' Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Financial Highlights Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Total ARR was $925 million, an increase of 30% year-over-year. SaaS ARR was $574 million, an increase of 39% year-over-year. Revenue: Total revenue was $230 million, an increase of 23% year-over-year. Subscription revenue was $215 million, an increase of 27% year-over-year. Operating Income (Loss): GAAP operating loss was $(185) million, or (80)% of revenue, compared to $(68) million, or (36)% of revenue in fiscal Q1 2025. Adjusted income from operations was $24 million, or 10% of revenue, compared to $19 million, or 10% of revenue in fiscal Q1 2025. Financial Outlook For the second quarter and full year of fiscal 2026, SailPoint expects (in millions, except per share amounts and percentages): Q2'26 Guidance FY'26 Guidance Prior FY'26 Guidance Total ARR $963 to $967 $1,095 to $1,105 $1,075 to $1,085 Total ARR YoY growth % 26% 25% to 26% 23% to 24% Total revenue $242 to $244 $1,034 to $1,044 $1,025 to $1,035 Total revenue YoY growth % 22% to 23% 20% to 21% 19% to 20% Adjusted income from operations $29 to $30 $161 to $166 $151 to $156 Adjusted operating margin % 11.9% to 12.4% 15.4% to 16.1% 14.6% to 15.2% Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) $0.04 to $0.05 $0.16 to $0.20 $0.14 to $0.18 These statements regarding SailPoint's expectations of its financial outlook are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to 'Forward-Looking Statements' below for information on the factors that could cause SailPoint's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. All of SailPoint's forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures exclude estimates for stock-based compensation expense, payroll taxes related to restricted stock units (RSUs), and amortization of acquired intangibles as well as acquisition-related costs and severance of certain key executives, if applicable. SailPoint has not reconciled its expectations as to adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted EPS to their most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of certain items that impact these non-GAAP measures, particularly stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is affected by future hiring, turnover, and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change. The actual amount of the excluded stock-based compensation expense will have a significant impact on SailPoint's GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share. Accordingly, reconciliations of our forward-looking adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted EPS to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Investor Conference Call and Webcast SailPoint will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the results and outlook. A live webcast of the conference call and a presentation regarding SailPoint's fiscal first quarter 2026 financial results and outlook will be available on SailPoint's website at An audio replay of the conference call will be available on the investor relations website for one year. About SailPoint At SailPoint, we believe enterprise security must start with identity at the foundation. Today's enterprise runs on a diverse workforce of not just human but also digital identities—and securing them all is critical. Through the lens of identity, SailPoint empowers organizations to seamlessly manage and secure access to applications and data at speed and scale. Our unified, intelligent, and extensible platform delivers identity-first security, helping enterprises defend against dynamic threats while driving productivity and transformation. Trusted by many of the world's most complex organizations, SailPoint secures the modern enterprise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding of past performance, including the following: , which we define as income (loss) from operations excluding equity-based compensation expense, payroll taxes related to awards that were accelerated upon the closing of our initial public offering (the IPO) and payroll taxes related to RSUs, all of which were issued after the closing of the IPO, amortization of acquired intangible assets which includes impairment charges, impairment of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, benefit from amortization related to acquired contract acquisition costs, Thoma Bravo monitoring fees (which were annual service fees for consultation and advice related to corporate strategy, budgeting of future corporate investments, acquisition and divestiture strategies, and debt and equity financings pursuant to an advisory services agreement that was terminated upon the closing of the IPO), and restructuring expenses. , which we define as adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenue. (or non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted share), which we define as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, except that solely for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 (and all periods therein), we calculate adjusted EPS based on the number of diluted shares outstanding as of the end of such period rather than the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for such period. We believe that using such a denominator will provide a more meaningful comparison with future periods due to the IPO closing after the beginning of fiscal year 2026. We calculate adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) on a GAAP basis excluding equity-based compensation expense, payroll taxes related to awards that were accelerated upon the closing of the IPO (IPO-accelerated awards) and payroll taxes related to RSUs, all of which were issued after the closing of the IPO, amortization of acquired intangible assets which includes impairment charges, impairment of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, benefit from amortization related to acquired contract acquisition costs, Thoma Bravo monitoring fees and restructuring expenses, and adjusted for the income tax effects related to those adjustments. We currently apply a fixed projected tax rate of 24.5% when calculating or estimating adjusted net income for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 and all periods therein for consistency across interim reporting periods within such fiscal year. This rate may be adjusted during the year if significant events that have a material impact on the rate occur, such as significant changes in our geographic mix of revenue and expenses, tax law changes, and acquisitions. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that do not reflect our ongoing, core operating or business performance, such as equity-based compensation, payroll taxes related to IPO-accelerated awards and payroll taxes related to RSUs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and acquisition-related expenses. We believe these adjustments enable management and investors to compare our underlying business performance from period-to-period and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. We also believe these adjustments enhance comparability of our financial performance against those of other technology companies. Accordingly, our management believes the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, SailPoint's management uses adjusted income (loss) from operations for budgeting and planning purposes, including with respect to its corporate bonus plan. Our non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for the following factors, among others: Equity-based compensation expense. We believe that the exclusion of equity-based compensation expense is appropriate because it eliminates the impact of equity-based compensation costs that are based upon valuation methodologies and assumptions that vary over time, and the amount of the expense can vary significantly due to factors that are unrelated to our core operating performance and that can be outside of our control. Although we exclude equity-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP measures, equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses and may increase in future periods. Payroll taxes related to IPO-accelerated awards and payroll taxes related to RSUs. We believe that the exclusion of payroll taxes related to IPO-accelerated awards is appropriate as the acceleration was a one-time, non-recurring event. We believe that the exclusion of payroll taxes related to RSUs is appropriate as they are dependent on SailPoint's stock price and the vesting of such awards and therefore can vary significantly due to factors that are unrelated to our core operating performance and that can be outside of our control. Because the amount of such payroll taxes is highly variable due to factors outside of our control and is unrelated to our core operating performance, our management does not consider them when evaluating the performance of our business or making operating plans (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution than the accounting charges associated with such grants). Accordingly, we believe this adjustment in arriving at our non-GAAP measures provides investors with a better understanding of the performance of our core business in a manner that is consistent with management's view of the business. As with equity-based compensation expense, although we exclude payroll taxes related to post-IPO RSUs from our non-GAAP measures, such payroll taxes are, and will continue to be, a component of our future expenses and may increase in future periods. We note that, unlike equity-based compensation expense, payroll taxes are a cash expense. Amortization of acquired intangible assets and impairment of intangible assets. We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets and impairment of intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges and provide for a more meaningful comparison between operating results from period to period as the intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over the useful life, which can be several years after the acquisition. Acquisition-related costs. We believe that the exclusion of acquisition-related expenses is appropriate as they represent items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These expenses are primarily composed of legal, accounting, and professional fees incurred that are not capitalizable and that are included within general and administrative expenses. Amortization related to acquired contract acquisition costs. On August 16, 2022, our predecessor was acquired in an all-cash take-private transaction by Thoma Bravo (the 'Take-Private Transaction'). In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we wrote off our contract acquisition costs at the time of the Take-Private Transaction. Therefore, GAAP commissions expense related to contract acquisition costs after the Take-Private Transaction do not reflect the commissions expense that would have been reported if the contract acquisition costs had not been written off. Accordingly, we believe that presenting the approximate amount of acquisition-related commission expenses (so that the full amount of commission expense is included) provides a more appropriate representation of commission expense in a given period and, therefore, provides readers of our financial statements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods. SailPoint's non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry because they may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint urges you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. Definitions of Certain Key Business and Other Metrics We define ARR as the annualized value of SaaS, maintenance, term subscription, and other subscription contracts as of the measurement date. To the extent that we are actively negotiating a renewal or new agreement with a customer after the expiration of a contract, we continue to include that contract's annualized value in ARR until the customer notifies us that it is not renewing its contract. We calculate ARR by dividing the active contract value by the number of days of the contract and then multiplying by 365. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or to replace revenue. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by ASC 606 allocations, and ARR does not consider other sources of revenue that are not recurring in nature. ARR does not have a standardized meaning and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We define SaaS ARR as the annualized value of SaaS contracts as of the measurement date. To the extent that we are actively negotiating a renewal or new agreement with a customer after the expiration of a contract, we continue to include that contract's annualized value in SaaS ARR until the customer notifies us that it is not renewing its contract. We calculate SaaS ARR by dividing the active SaaS contract value by the number of days of the contract and then multiplying by 365. SaaS ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue as SaaS ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or to replace subscription revenue. SaaS ARR is not a forecast of future subscription revenue, which can be impacted by ASC 606 allocations and renewal rates, and does not consider other sources of revenue that are not recurring in nature. SaaS ARR does not have a standardized meaning and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. . The majority of our revenue relates to subscription revenue which consists of (i) fees for access to, and related support for, the SaaS offerings, (ii) fees for term subscriptions, (iii) fees for ongoing maintenance and support of perpetual license solutions, and (iv) other subscription services such as cloud managed services, and certain professional services. Term subscriptions include the term licenses and ongoing maintenance and support. Maintenance and support agreements consist of fees for providing software updates on a when and if available basis and for providing technical support for software products for a specified term. Subscription revenue, including support for term licenses, is recognized ratably over the term of the applicable agreement. Revenue related to term subscription performance obligations, excluding support for term subscriptions, is recognized upfront at the point in time when the customer has taken control of the software license. Explanatory Note Regarding Our Corporate Conversion Prior to February 12, 2025, we were a Delaware limited partnership named SailPoint Parent, LP. On February 12, 2025, in connection with our IPO, SailPoint Parent, LP converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion (the Corporate Conversion) and changed its name to SailPoint, Inc. References to 'SailPoint,' 'we,' and 'our' (i) for periods prior to such corporate conversion are to SailPoint Parent, LP and, where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) for periods after such corporate conversion are to SailPoint, Inc. and, where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Michigan's Fortune 500 companies
Michigan was home to 15 of the country's top-grossing companies last year — many of them tied to the auto industry — according to the 2025 Fortune 500 list released this month. Why it matters: Fortune 500 companies boost the state's economy, influence policy priorities and power job growth. Michigan's top-ranked companies, by fiscal year 2024 revenue, are: 18. General Motors (Detroit): $187.4 billion — up 1 spot from last year. 19. Ford (Dearborn): $185 billion — down 2 spots. 103. Dow (Midland): $43 billion — down 4. 141. Penske Automotive Group (Bloomfield Hills): $30.5 billion — up 5. 189. Lear (Southfield): $23.3 billion — down 15. Zoom in: Other top-500 companies in Metro Detroit include Ally Financial (255), BorgWarner (307), DTE Energy (337) and Autoliv (407). The intrigue: Dan Gilbert's Rocket Companies jumped 127 spots but remains outside the Fortune 500 at number 619, with $5.4 billion in revenue. The big picture: Walmart topped the magazine's annual list for the 13th straight year. Amazon, UnitedHealth Group, Apple and CVS Health round out the top five.

Kore Potash Secures $2.2 Billion Term Sheet For Project In Republic of Congo
United Kingdom-based potash developer Kore Potash has signed a non-binding term sheet agreement with Swiss investment platform OWI-RAMS to secure $2.2 billion in financing for its flagship Kola Project in the Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville). The agreement is a dual-structured funding package with approximately $1.53 billion in senior secured project finance (70%) and around $655 million in royalty financing (30%). "The signing of these term sheets represents a pivotal step forward in realizing the full potential of the Kola Project. By securing a less dilutive funding structure aligned with long-term sustainability and value creation, we are safeguarding shareholder interests while advancing food security in Africa and beyond," David Hathorn, Chairman of Kore Potash, said in a statement. Under the terms, the senior secured facility—structured to comply with Shariah principles—will carry a fixed profit payment between 6.8% and 9.3% annually, with repayments deferred through the 49–to 50–month construction phase and amortized over 7 to 8 years. Although non-binding, the agreement represents a milestone in Kore's efforts to bring Kora to production. However, implementing this plan is contingent upon Kore fulfilling several requirements, including appointing a third-party project monitor, finalizing an operator agreement, mitigating political risk, and expanding its internal project execution team. The royalty finance facility introduces a quasi-equity model. OWI-RAMS will receive 14% of the gross revenue during the loan repayment period, increasing to 16% upon full repayment. This arrangement enables Kore to prevent equity dilution, thereby safeguarding shareholder value. Furthermore, OWI-RAMS is granted the right to acquire up to 100% of the mine's muriate of potash (MoP) output at prices aligned with the market for the entire 23-year project duration. The Kola project, located in the Sintoukola Basin, is 97% owned by Kore and is expected to produce 2.2 million tons of MoP annually, totaling approximately 50 million tons over its life. Kore also owns the nearby Dougou Extension project. Potash is a vital agricultural nutrient used in fertilizers, with no known substitutes for its potassium content, essential for plant growth and human and animal nutrition. The latest U.S. Geological Survey showed that global demand for potash remains robust at 40.9 million tons in 2025, driven by food security needs, population growth, and concerns over soil health.
