Smashburger's New CEO Starts Rebuilding
In skier's parlance, Smashburger was 'overstepping its skis' and growing too quickly, when it expanded in the late 2010's to 370 locations. After shuttering over 160 outlets, it now operates 204 locations across 30 U.S. states and 7 countries, with a balanced portfolio of 121 corporate owned and 83 franchised. It was founded in 2007 in Denver, Colorado. Jollibee Foods Corporation, a Philippine-based restaurant conglomerate acquired a majority stake in Smashburger, which is headquartered in Denver, Col. in 2018, which also has ownership stakes in Chowking, Red Ribbon, and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Jim Sullivan, who was named Smashburger's CEO on Aug. 5, 2025 and previously served as its president, has a diversified resume that includes executive positions as Qdoba Restaurants, Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. Several factors contributed to Smashburger's reducing so many outlets, Sullivan suggests, including, 'lease expirations, Covid, and some underperforming assets where we didn't pick the right real-estate.' He adds that the fast-casual burger space has been hit with a variety of obstacles in the post-pandemic world that includes 'inflation, more cost-conscious consumers, rising prices and more.' Fast-Casual Eateries Facing Some Setbacks Candidly Sullivan acknowledges that it had 'lost focus on what makes Smashburger so special and different, which was its culinary quality and taste.' Under Sullivan's leadership, it's concentrating on making its offerings more appealing, improving its in-house experience, facilitating its ability to franchise, and reclaiming its position as a 'better burger space.' To regain its audience, it will be 'focusing on the core; that's all about flavor and taste, and we have to enhance our guest experience within the four walls,' he says. Strategies To Boost Revenue To regain its identify, it has introduced a series of menu items including Smoke Brisket Bacon Brisket Smash and All-Angus Big Dog, which Sullivan says, is driving traffic to it outlets. 'We had to remember that we had to give our guests a reason to come back,' he says. While many Americans are opting for healthier food, Sullivan describes its brisket Smashburger combo as an 'indulgent product' but notes that it offers many healthier selections such as its black bean Smashburger, chicken Smashburger, and chicken salad. Value-Driven Strategies Trying to confront these challenges, Smashburger introduced its All-American Meat Deal, which offers a burger, fries and beverage for $12.26. Its $5 (a penny less) Value Meal offers burgers and hot dogs. Traditionally, Smashburger was known for its crispy chicken sandwiches, shakes and smash tots. It's trying to think outside the box and introducing Smashburgers in non-traditional locations such as airports, college campuses and arenas. Sullivan calls these locations 'high-traffic, high-opportunity spaces that allow us to build brand awareness.' Expanding in traditional locations is also a priority, and it's also aiming to make franchising easier. So far in 2025 it has opened only 1 new outlet at the Detroit Metro Airport. Sullivan, however, is convinced that it is beginning to regain its momentum and step up growth and expects to open a dozen or so new locations including Charlotte and Salt Lake City in the next 12 months. Asked why it's expanding slowly, he replies that 'I wouldn't say slowly. We're moving smartly. We want to make sure it's right' before it expands. Stepping Up Franchising Asked the keys to its future success, he replies, #1 Brand positioning, #2 Conveying the right media message, #3 Building the right franchise base. He adds that franchising will be key to its growth because it 'allows us to get to scale fast.'

Link11 Highlights Growing Cybersecurity Risks and Introduces Integrated WAAP Protection Platform
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, August 20th, 2025, CyberNewsWire Link11, a Germany-based global IT security provider, has released insights into the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape and announced the capabilities of its Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) platform, designed to provide multi-layered defenses against modern digital threats. The rapid pace of digital transformation has expanded the opportunities for organizations across industries. However, every new web application and API also broadens the attack surface, leaving businesses increasingly exposed. Cybercriminals are employing sophisticated tactics that target all levels of application infrastructure, rendering traditional point solutions insufficient. Key Threats Facing Digital Platforms: Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have traditionally been associated with overwhelming data floods. Increasingly, attackers use more subtle methods at the application level (Layer 7), simulating legitimate traffic to disrupt resource-intensive services such as login pages, search functions, or APIs. A recent example occurred when the website of an Israeli city council was hit by approximately 18 million HTTP requests in just minutes, temporarily disrupting operations. Malicious bots Automated traffic continues to account for a significant share of web activity, with malicious bots responsible for credential stuffing, content scraping, inventory theft, and fraud. Reseller bots, for example, often purchase large volumes of limited products such as concert tickets or designer items, leaving genuine customers unable to access them. Limitations of traditional WAFs Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) remain widely used but often rely on signature-based rules, which can fail to detect newer attack methods while generating false positives. Such gaps leave applications vulnerable to modern 'low-and-slow' attacks and zero-day exploits, as well as to familiar threats like SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS). API vulnerabilities APIs are central to digital ecosystems, yet frequently underprotected. Unmonitored 'shadow APIs' can unintentionally expand the attack surface. Attacks on API endpoints can lead to service disruptions, data theft, and account takeovers, underscoring the need for more advanced defenses. The Link11 WAAP Platform Link11's WAAP platform has been developed to address these challenges through an integrated, real-time security framework. Unified all-in-one platform: Consolidates multiple protection functions into a single interface to simplify management. Real-time multi-layered protection: Detects and mitigates malicious traffic while ensuring seamless access for legitimate users. Flexible deployment: Compatible with diverse infrastructures, protecting web applications and APIs regardless of hosting environment. 24/7 managed support: Backed by round-the-clock monitoring from Link11's global Security Operations Centers (SOCs). Data security and compliance: Operates on a wholly Link11-owned cloud platform, ensuring GDPR compliance and eliminating non-EU access risks. About Link11 Link11 is a specialized IT security provider headquartered in Germany with offices worldwide. The company delivers enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions, including protection for critical infrastructures. Link11 is ISO 27001 certified and recognized by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) as a qualified provider for critical infrastructure protection. Contact Link11 GmbH

Wisdom, the AI-Powered Dental Revenue Cycle Management Platform, Raises $28M to Accelerate Product Innovation and Capitalize on Rapid Growth
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AI in revenue cycle management has become top of mind across the healthcare industry, but when it comes to the dental market, dentists are lacking the modern tools used by their medical counterparts. That's the problem that AI-powered dental RCM platform, Wisdom, is on a mission to solve. The company announced today the successful completion of its $21M Series A capital raise led by Permanent Capital Ventures (PCV), a venture capital firm that partners with founders to build go-to-market engines for enterprise scale. Aquiline, a private investment firm specializing in financial services and technology, joined the round, alongside existing investor and Co-Founder, Juxtapose, a leading creation-oriented investment firm. Juxtapose followed their recent $7M Seed investment, reaffirming the firm's commitment to Wisdom's continued growth and innovation. This funding brings Wisdom's total capital raised to $28M since its founding in 2023. The opportunity to use technology to help dentists build and run their businesses more effectively is immense. Share The overwhelming majority of independent practices and small dental groups in America struggle with the administrative burden of running a profitable business, leaving over $20 billion of earned revenue uncollected despite spending billions of dollars on salaries for in-house revenue management. Wisdom, which has already collected hundreds of millions of dollars for its clients and saved them up to 50% of collection costs, takes a highly differentiated approach to administrative workflows by bringing AI agents and human experts together to maximize revenue collections, predictability, transparency and patient satisfaction, thereby freeing dentists and their staff to focus on delivering outstanding patient care. Since its inception, Wisdom has rapidly expanded by combining advanced, proprietary AI-driven technology with US-based billing experts. This unique approach has propelled Wisdom to achieve exceptional client satisfaction, underscored by a consistently high Net Promoter Score of 73 and strong organic growth. Over 50% of Wisdom's signed deals still come through referrals. Wisdom was awarded Top Dental Billing Company by Healthcare Business Review earlier this year and was named a 2025 Dental Innovator Award winner by DentalIQ for its AI-assisted dental billing service. Wisdom is led by CEO Stoyan Kenderov, an accomplished technologist, product leader and executive with over 25 years of success building new products and transforming organizations into customer-obsessed teams that drive growth and profitability, most recently as COO of business payments platform Plastiq. Prior to his time at Plastiq, Stoyan held senior leadership roles at LendingClub, Intuit, Quicken, and many other international technology companies. Stoyan is joined by Wisdom Co-Founder and Chief Dental Billing Officer Ashley Bond, who previously founded and led the award-winning nationwide billing service, Bond Dental Billing. 'We are thrilled to partner with PCV and Aquiline as we continue our mission to transform dental billing and revenue management,' said Kenderov. 'Their proactive approach and expertise in building scalable enterprises align perfectly with our vision to significantly enhance financial outcomes and operational efficiency for dental practices.' PCV's investment in Wisdom reflects the firm's strategy of supporting innovative startups poised for transformational growth. 'Wisdom has created an impressive track record by uniquely integrating AI technologies with deep industry expertise,' said Mike Gamson, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Permanent Capital Ventures. 'We see immense potential in their ability to scale and redefine revenue management solutions in the dental sector and beyond.' Aquiline has a history of building scaled revenue cycle management businesses, and this investment in Wisdom marks the firm's second investment supporting the dental industry. 'While we continue to see significant innovation across dental, the market is filled with point solutions and generally lacks modern, end-to-end platforms, especially across the rev cycle process,' said Dante La Ruffa, Partner at Aquiline. 'We believe that Stoyan and his team are reimagining the future of dentistry, starting with the key pain points that have historically inhibited dentists from maximizing their time with patients.' This funding will enable Wisdom to further enhance its technology platform, accelerate market expansion, and continue building out its exceptional team to better serve dental offices of all sizes - from private practices to multi-location dental groups across the country. 'The opportunity to use technology to help dentists build and run their businesses more effectively is immense. Stoyan and his team have moved quickly but thoughtfully to build a solution which really moves the needle for dentists while preserving the value of human expertise,' said Andy Stein, Partner at Juxtapose.
