Hungry , a catering marketplace that connects businesses with independent chefs, announced this week that it has raised $20 million in Series B funding. Hungry tells me that the funding valued the company at more than $100 million (pre-money).
“The food is produced at a much lower cost structure than at a restaurant with a retail location,” Grass said. “And yet you’re not sacrificing on quality. These are top chefs cooking their best dishes — you get higher than restaurant-quality food, but produced at a much lower cost.”

Health Care Buzz: Glossary: What is 'Your Health Idaho' marketplace exchange?
With the passage of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), a new opportunity was created for individuals to explore insurance options. The health insurance marketplace (also referred to as the exchange) is a platform that offers insurance plans to individuals, families or small businesses.
The ACA established a marketplace as a means to achieve maximum compliance with the mandate for all Americans to carry some form of health insurance. (The individual mandate was reversed in 2017 but the marketplace remains as part of the ACA.)
Quite a lot has been going on:

There's no driving test for self-driving cars — only metrics - Marketplace
California’s Department of Motor Vehicles has something called a disengagement report, where companies have to tell the state how many times a human had to take over driving from a fully autonomous vehicle. That report came out last week, but it only records data for cars in California. The companies themselves say the metrics are inaccurate and misleading.
I dig into this topic in “Quality Assurance,” the segment where I take a deeper look at a big tech story. I spoke with Jack Stewart, who covers transportation for Marketplace. I asked him what the problem is with the California’s metrics. The following is an edited version of our conversation.
What the new coronavirus means for America's busiest port complex - Marketplace
Volume at the Port of Los Angeles was down 25% in February compared with last year, largely because of the new coronavirus. Also known as America’s Port, the Port of Los Angeles handles more of the world’s cargo than any other port in the Western Hemisphere. “Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal spoke with the port’s executive director Gene Seroka about the slowdown.
“We’ve had 41 vessel cancellations from the middle of February through April 1,” Seroka said. “That would amount to about 25% of our normal ship calls. Today in port we have four vessels, when we normally would have 10 to 12.”
