Why Branding Matters for Startups in 2025
Launching a startup in 2025 is easier than ever and also more competitive than ever. With platforms, funding options, and tools more accessible, thousands of new businesses launch every day. But there's one key difference between startups that survive and those that scale: branding. Branding is not just a logo or catchy slogan. It's the foundation that shapes how people see, feel, and trust your startup. In an environment flooded with options, branding is how you cut through the noise. Whether you're building a tech company, personal brand, or service-based business, partnering with a startup branding agency can be the smartest decision you make early on. Branding used to be something people worried about after product-market fit. Not anymore. In 2025, branding is part of the go-to-market strategy because your first impressions happen fast, online, and in an ultra-competitive space. Startup branding includes: Visual identity: logo, colors, fonts, imagery Messaging: tagline, positioning, tone of voice Story: who you are, what you solve, and why it matters Customer experience: website, email, social presence Consistency: how all of this works together everywhere This isn't something to DIY halfway. That's why more and more founders are working with a branding agency for startups that understands lean budgets, fast timelines, and real-world startup needs. Bad branding is expensive because it causes confusion. If your brand looks unclear or inconsistent, people won't engage, refer, or trust it. But when you brand smart: You attract the right audience faster You look credible even if you're new You stand out against competitors You can charge more confidently You don't need to redesign every few months Think of branding as your startup's armor and amplifier. It protects you from looking unprofessional and helps your story reach further. That's why early-stage companies often work with the best startup branding agency to nail their brand from day one instead of fixing it months later. One of the standout names in this space is ExterMarketing, a UK-based agency known for helping new and small businesses build professional, growth-ready brands. They go beyond just logos or colors. Their team helps founders clarify their message, build a solid visual identity, and roll it out across websites, socials, and campaigns fast and effectively. What sets them apart is their deep focus on startup behavior and growth systems. They're a favorite choice among solo founders, service businesses, and digital entrepreneurs who want more than just design; they want direction. Here's a truth more founders are learning in 2025: branding without systems is just aesthetics. To scale sustainably, you also need workflows, automation, and digital tools to support your backend. This is where a business automation platform built by the same team at ExterMarketing, comes in. Externally offers: CRM and lead management Email and WhatsApp marketing Landing pages and funnel builders Social media scheduling Payment and client management Memberships, courses, and more Startups can run most of their operations with just one tool instead of juggling 10+ platforms. So while branding brings you attention, automation helps you manage it. Let's take a look at a few trends: Shorter attention spans → You have seconds to impress. → You have seconds to impress. AI-generated content → Human brands that feel real will win. → Human brands that feel real will win. Content overload → Clear positioning stands out. → Clear positioning stands out. Trust issues → Consistency builds long-term relationships. → Consistency builds long-term relationships. Rise of micro-businesses → Every solo founder is now a brand. Whether you're fundraising, hiring, selling, or pitching your brand is your silent sales team. A well-built brand makes people say: 'I don't know them yet… but this feels trustworthy.' That's how you earn leads before conversations even start. In 2025, launching a startup is no longer the hard part. Growing one is. Branding helps people understand who you are. Automation helps you deliver on what you promise. Together, they make scaling smarter, not harder. If you're: Still figuring out your visuals or voice Struggling with how to show up online Feeling stuck with too many tools or messy workflows Now's the time to invest in real clarity. Work with a startup branding agency that gets startups. Use tools like Exterly to handle your backend like a pro. And focus on what you do best, building something that lasts. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Alpaca and ZAD Partner to Bring Shariah-Compliant Investing Globally
NEW YORK & KUWAIT CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alpaca, a self-clearing broker-dealer and brokerage infrastructure API, and ZAD, a leading Kuwait-based investment platform for Shariah-compliant US stocks and ETFs, today announced their strategic partnership to expand access to Shariah-compliant investment products. This partnership continues to open financial access for investors seeking to align their financial growth with Islamic principles. 'If we were a conventional investment application, we would not have reached the growth levels that we have in the past couple of years. It's very important for the people in the region,' explains Abdullah Alotaibi, ZAD's Co-Founder and Deputy CEO. Share With global Islamic finance assets surpassing $5.5 trillion USD in 2024, a report from Standard Chartered forecasts they could reach $7.5 trillion USD by 2028. This is largely from key markets like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Kuwait, and the UAE, with countries across Southeast Asia and Africa seeing increased demand for Shariah-compliant financial solutions. Recognizing this, ZAD is expanding access to their local Kuwait market and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets like Saudi Arabia. Their expansion plans and commitment to making Shariah-compliant investing accessible has been a cornerstone of their success. 'If we were a conventional investment application, we would not have reached the growth levels that we have in the past couple of years. It's very important for the people in the region. They really appreciate it, they want it, and they're very careful with what they buy,' says Abdullah Alotaibi, ZAD's Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of Fintech Brokerage. ZAD has partnered with Alpaca to build these products, including Shariah-compliant Instant Funding, which was launched recently. They are also collaborating to deliver margin trading, options trading, and high-yield cash accounts, becoming one of the leading platforms to offer these products in a Shariah-compliant way. While building Shariah-compliant infrastructure has presented unique challenges, the solutions developed with Alpaca's Broker API are scalable across other Islamic regions. For instance, the margin trading product is an asset-backed lending model rather than interest-based, adhering to Islamic law. 'There are service providers that tell you, 'this is what we have, take it or leave it.' Not Alpaca,' says Abdullah. 'They listen to us. They understand the region well. They're helping us offer the best possible products to our clients.' 'We're grateful to be innovating with ZAD in the rapidly growing Islamic finance and are excited to be their partner in delivering Shariah-compliant margin trading, options trading, instant funding, and more. Shariah-compliance is a key focus at Alpaca as we look to support and expand financial accessibility globally,' says Yoshi Yokokawa, CEO and Co-Founder of Alpaca. About Alpaca Alpaca is a US-headquartered self-clearing broker-dealer and brokerage infrastructure for stocks, ETFs, options, fixed income, and 24/5 trading – raising over USD170 million in funding. Alpaca is backed by top-tier investors globally, including Portage Ventures, Spark Capital, Tribe Capital, Social Leverage, Horizons Ventures, Unbound, SBI Group, Derayah Financial, Elefund, and Y Combinator. About ZAD ZAD is a Kuwait-based digital investment platform, offered by The Securities House, that provides global stock market access and offers Shariah-compliant products. ZAD aims to simplify the investment and trading process for people who adhere to the principles of Shariah. Options trading is not suitable for all investors due to its inherent high risk, which can potentially result in significant losses.

Keeping up with AI's advances -- and limitations
Richard Turen The advisor reaction to AI brings to mind Alvin Toffler's 1970 book "Future Shock." The point of Toffler's seminal work was that we were experiencing the downside of rapid technological advances of a type and quantity that was overwhelming to most of us. We are, he claimed, suffering as a society from stress and disorientation specifically caused by too much change in too short a time. Our brains cannot keep up with it. The stress is often related to our jobs: Will computers replace us? Our society, Toffler argued, is experiencing information overload that will cause instability in our social structures. What, I wonder, would Toffler say about AI? In sharing my thoughts with you about AI and its likely impact on our industry, it might be interesting to begin with robotics. That is one of the sexier branches of the AI revolution and, perhaps, the easiest to understand. Let's try to put robotics in perspective: The hotel sector is where we have seen the largest industry adaptation of customer-facing robots. Over the past decade we've seen a robot named Botlr at the Aloft Property in Cupertino, Calif., that delivers amenities to guestrooms. Making deliveries such as room service has progressed far more than we might imagine. It is now a worldwide phenomenon. The world's first robot-staffed hotel chain, Henn na, opened in Tokyo. At check-in, robotic receptionists, luggage handlers and service bots greeted guests. Humans were rarely involved. At the Hilton in McLean, Va., a robot named Connie was powered by IBM's AI. She/it provided guests with local dining, sightseeing and specific hotel service information. You might argue that these are just distractions. Hotel and airport robots can do some amusing and even admirable things. But they are also examples of the adaptation from simple beginnings of robots performing human tasks based on a strict command/request code to something more nuanced. Robotics has faced several hurdles, a primary example was the inability to teach a machine how to tie the shoelaces on a pair of men's shoes. They just couldn't do it. They can't account for varying lengths, degrees of tightness, etc. But in May it was reported that Google DeepMind had taught a robot how to tie shoelaces. An often-referenced hurdle has now been overcome. And now, consider the speed at which AI is adapting to fill the needs of counseling/advice and quick answers to guest questions. Last August, the Google DeepMind Lab developed a robot that could beat 55% of intermediate pingpong players it faced. It has made some progress since. The robot was trained by simply watching high-level games on video and playing actual opponents. There is so much to know about robotics and AI and their impact on our industry. But I think we first have to accept the fact that AI is not anything like magic. You are not creating a human. This is all about math. At its heart, what we call AI is a machine constructed of algorithms that can quickly, almost instantaneously, process information, analyze patterns and generate answers to queries based on its skill at finding the right answer across the field of millions of data points it can access. But the lesson is that we should never get too confident. Let's not get too confident about the limitations of AI. Some of our most successful travel corporations have learned that AI tools can now do two things rather successfully: They can solve problems with specific solutions and present information in what we might call a "meaningful conversation." Aren't we all seeking staff who can do that?
