Paul Street Announces Gary Vaynerchuk as Equity Partner (Business Wire)
|
|
|
After generating more than $1.4 billion in affiliate revenue in just three-and-a-half years, Paul Street is partnering with one of advertising's most influential entrepreneurs.NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paul Street today announced a strategic partnership from Gary Vaynerchuk, Chairman of VaynerX, CEO of VaynerMedia and investor who made highly successful early bets on companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Venmo.
The partner marketing industry has been quietly shifting for years. What the market once called "affiliate marketing" has given way to something fundamentally different: editorial and creator-led partnerships, relationship-led strategy, and full-funnel programs that premium brands can stand behind. Paul Street was built for that new category and Gary's sign off and backing is the proof point that the category has arrived.

Meta Used AI To Lay Off Workers With Medical Conditions: Lawsuit
Twenty-six Meta employees have sued the company, alleging that AI-assisted systems used in its layoff process unfairly disadvantaged workers with disabilities, medical conditions, pregnancies, or family-care responsibilities.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court in Oakland, California. The employees, who are proceeding anonymously, claim Meta considered factors such as productivity scores and employees' use of AI tools when deciding which jobs to eliminate. According to the complaint, this approach penalized workers whose medical leave or caregiving obligations reduced their recorded activity.
The plaintiffs were informed in May that their employment would end beginning July 22. They are asking the court to temporarily halt the layoffs while their discrimination and retaliation claims proceed through individual arbitration.
Meta rejected the allegations.
"Workforce management and organizational decisions were and are ma...
