Email Industry Buzz: Costa Rican entrepreneur Anthony Baltodano’s Mission Inbox says it’s hit a $25M valuation, riding a surge in demand for better email deliverability and claiming rapid, profitable growth. World Cup Watch: FIFA finally locked a China broadcast deal with China Media Group for about $60M—far below the $300M it originally sought—covering multiple men’s and women’s tournaments through 2031. Football Draws: China was placed in Group F for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup alongside Spain, Nigeria, and New Caledonia, while Costa Rica landed in Group E with DPR Korea, Colombia, and Portugal. Costa Rican Arts & Film: Costa Rica’s push abroad keeps paying off: Sofía Quirós Úbeda’s “Forever Your Maternal Animal” is selected for Cannes (Un Certain Regard), and “Silent Birds” has secured international sales rights via Luminalia. Local Culture: A new permaculture pinup retreat series launches in Santa Teresa, mixing regenerative learning, medicinal plants, and creative nature experiences.
