Brad Keywell, the CEO of Uptake Technologies, is confident that the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, could have been prevented if his company had been keeping watch.
“Flint should not have happened,” said Keywell, the co-founder of more than a dozen companies, including Groupon, in the latest Boss Files podcast with CNN’s Poppy Harlow. “If Uptake’s tools would have been monitoring the water supply quality, then you would have known about the earliest indication and you would’ve solved it.”
Uptake’s analytics software helps predict and prevent failures and increase efficiencies across a range of industries — from infrastructure to locomotives to health care. The company’s goal is to use its data to provide its large, multinational clients increased productivity, reliability and safety.

“Now, human beings have to solve a problem, but we would’ve known about it the minute something turns on,” he told Harlow. “It takes anecdote out of the equation, and it puts science and predictive insight into the equation.”

The stock market didn’t see much in the way of sustained movement Wednesday, with the major market indexes finished mixed, but close to where they began the day. Various cross-currents pushed shares higher and lower throughout the day, including the potential for a breakthrough on the trade front, and nervousness about the directions of interest rates and monetary policy both in the U.S. and internationally.

Although Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) and Teekay Corporation (NYSE:TK) are both focused on the shipping industry, they go about it in vastly different ways. Both companies were hit hard by industry downturns, but Textainer started to see a notable improvement in its container business in 2017. Teekay’s collection of ship-owning businesses in the energy sector, on the other hand, continued to struggle overall — but signs seem to point to an upturn this year. Which one is the better buy today?
