Forbes asked experienced leaders which non-financial metrics they track to gauge long-term success.

Saeed Amidi, CEO of Plug and Play, pointed to startup traction β€” specifically how often startups engage with corporations through pilots and partnerships. When those connections turn into real collaboration, it signals that startups are gaining real market adoption and moving forward, which is where long-term value in venture actually starts.

95% of enterprise AI initiatives still fail to generate measurable P&L impact.

Our latest insurance industry report explores why most deployments stall after the pilot phase, and why the real bottleneck is no longer the model itself, but fragmented data, legacy systems, and workflow integration.

The report also looks at how insurers are moving away from centralized data lakes toward agentic AI mesh architectures designed to support claims, underwriting, and policy operations at scale.

M&M’s, Twix, Pringles, Cheez-It, and Pop-Tarts are some of the brands driving Mars, Incorporated’s approach to innovation across the global snacking industry.

In the conversation, Greg Hocking, VP Global R&D Innovation Territories at Mars, shares how working with Plug and Play has helped strengthen Mars’s approach to startup collaboration, learn alongside other global corporates, and build long-term relationships across the innovation ecosystem.

One of the biggest lessons from the partnership has been the value of staying connected with startups over time. Some companies may not be the right fit today, but become the right partner years later as priorities and technologies evolve.

Hacktron is building AI-native security testing for the next generation of software development.

Founded by elite offensive security researchers and competitive hackers, the company embeds attacker-style reasoning directly into developer workflows to continuously identify vulnerabilities as code is written and deployed.

The team recently uncovered critical vulnerabilities in Supabase’s authentication infrastructure and Perplexity’s Comet browser, demonstrating how AI-powered offensive security can surface issues traditional scanners miss.

Excited to support Hacktron as they build the future of continuous application security.
