  "account": "Haley and Goly Abivardi, founders of dental startup Vvardis, have taken their company public on the New York Stock Exchange. The sisters, who fled Iran with their family after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, studied dentistry in Zurich and previously owned the Swiss Smile dental chain. Vvardis, which offers a caries treatment without drilling, saw its initial public offering struggle, with its stock price falling to $16.50 from a planned $21-24. The company's valuation was $3 billion, despite reporting a loss of $56 million on $30 million in revenue in 2025.",
