Constellation Brands has budgeted more than $40 million to market four new seltzer flavors under its Corona beer label. Corona hard seltzer will come in four flavors: tropical lime, mango, cherry and blackberry lime. Each flavor will have 90 calories and have zero grams of sugar. The seltzer will launch this spring.

A startup called Outlier.org allows students to take online classes for college credit. They just announced an $11.7 million raise in Series A funding led by GSV Ventures. Outlier charges $400 per class ... that includes all costs including textbooks, which is way more affordable than a class you'd take at a residential college. The startup held its first classes during the fall semester.

From location scouting to setting up events and signing speakers, they can do it all for you, The Event Studio can help you create an annual conference, incentive program, round table discussion or retreat.
