Chutzpah Lessons From The Israeli Startup Scene
Mar 22, 9:30AM
It’s no wonder that with over 4,000 startups in the Greater Tel Aviv area, Israel is ranked 1st in the world for innovative capacity in 2014 by the IMD Global Competitiveness Yearbook. Read MoreMarch Madness And Connected Fitness: Who's Best In The League?
Mar 22, 1:00AM
March: the month where brackets are set, all-star players and teams are matched up and competitions determine who is best in the league. As the intensity of March Madness is upon us, I’ve been watching another landscape in which, similar to NCAA basketball, players are closely being measured and champions are already being predicted. I’m talking about the connected fitness… Read More>From Paralysis To Recovery, Optimization Offers Ports New Tech Remedy
Mar 21, 9:00PM
Eight weeks is what the port of Oakland estimated it would take to recover from the paralyzing effects of the west coast port labor disputes. That’s right, as much as eight weeks of delays for domestic car manufacturers to receive parts, grocery stores to receive food and retailers to get their hands on the new Apple Watches. And eight weeks for the U.S. exporters to get their goods… Read MoreDogVacay And Whistle Founders Talk Pet Tech Startups
Mar 21, 9:00PM
I’ve already posted one interview from last weekend’s Yappy Hour event at South by Southwest — my interview with Courtney Dasher, owner of Instagram star Tuna Melts My Heart. But I wasn’t just there to talk about dogs that are big on social media. I also spoke to Aaron Hirschhorn, co-founder and CEO of dog-sitting marketplace DogVacay, and Ben Jacobs, co-founder and CEO… Read MoreAnti-Tech Backlash Could Be Coming Soon To A City Near You
Mar 21, 7:39PM
While it can be dangerous to take lessons from television shows or science fiction novels, there’s evidence that as technology advances at breakneck speed, there will be those who are afraid of what’s coming and people could choose sides. To some extent, it’s because technology is always a few steps ahead of society, and we have yet to come to grips with much of… Read MorePao Vs. Kleiner Defense Rests Its Case, Showcasing A Different Side Of The Story
Mar 21, 6:16PM
Yesterday afternoon, the legal team representing venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers rested its case in the Ellen Pao Vs. Kleiner Perkins trial, bringing the fourth full week in the courtroom to a close. The end of the trial is now clearly in sight, with only the closing arguments and the jury deliberations remaining. Over the past several days, Kleiner’s head… Read MoreNo Need For Alarm Over Private Company Valuations
Mar 21, 6:00PM
With 137% returns in an approximately two year period, there’s logic in mutual funds continuing to throw big dollars into strong IPO candidates, thus significantly inflating valuations. With this encroaching competition it’s not surprising then that VC’s are sending the warning. Read MoreNo Traditional Financial Institutions? No Problem
Mar 21, 6:00PM
On Lending Club’s February 2015 quarterly earnings call, an analyst asked CEO Renaud Laplanche a simple question: have you considered getting the loans you’re issuing rated? Renaud had a simple answer: We have, but we won’t. As Renaud said, the marketplace lending platform’s loan grading system, which it illustrates on its website, is in many ways more transparent and… Read MoreProperty Partner Raises £5.2M To Let Anybody Invest In The UK 'Buy-To-Rent' Real Estate Market
Mar 21, 5:57PM
Property Partner is a London-based startup that lets anybody invest in the ‘buy to let’ market (as it’s called here in the UK) starting from as little as £50. Today the company is disclosing new backing to help expand across the UK and beyond: a £5.2 million Series A round led by Index Ventures. Read MoreGillmor Gang: Meer Mortals
Mar 21, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — Dan Farber, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. Meerkat the next shiny object, or the latest addition to the viral puzzle known as user experience in the enterprise and trending on the InterTubes? All I know is, when these streams pop up in some random, chaotic order, we’re once again being schooled in the Art of the Improbable. Plus, the latest G3:… Read MoreWhy An Open Salary Policy Always Beats Secrecy
Mar 21, 3:00PM
For four years, journalists and entrepreneurs have asked me why we created an open salary policy at my company. Here’s the answer: it prevents evil. Open salary policies mandate truthfulness and ethical behavior in organizations that would otherwise abuse the secrecy. “Transparency” is just a hollow buzzword unless executives are candid about compensation. Read MoreNintendo's Move To Mobile Unlikely To Offer Retro Gamers Much More Than Memories
Mar 21, 2:00PM
Nintendo’s announcement that it would partner with Japanese mobile gaming company DeNA to create games on mobile devices using Nintendo’s intellectual property sounds like a dream come true, but will probably offer little more than muted nostalgia for retro game lovers. Unless you’re one of the nine people who have never owned one of Nintendo’s fleet of hand-held… Read MoreThe Terrible Technical Interview
Mar 21, 1:00PM
Traditional technical interviews are terrible for everyone. They’re a bad way for companies to evaluate candidates. They’re a bad way for candidates to evaluate companies. They waste time and generate stress on both sides. Almost everyone, if pressed, will admit this. And yet they persist. I humbly suggest that it is time for engineers to start to flatly refuse to participate in them. Read More|LIVE NOW| Meerkat Raises $12M From Greylock At A $40M Valuation
Mar 21, 5:03AM
If you’re reading TechCrunch right now (you are, by the way), chances are you have at least heard of Meerkat. You may even be simultaneously hoping that you don’t have to fall prey to the new SXSW sweetheart before the trend of live broadcasting is over. But this is no Yo. Sources familiar with the matter tell TechCrunch that Meerkat has closed on a $12 million Series B led by… Read MoreOnline Learning Service Platzi Wants To Teach You Useful Tech Skills
Mar 21, 12:19AM
A couple of things about online learning service Platzi immediately set it apart from the other companies in Y Combinator’s latest batch. First, it is from Latin America — Colombia to be precise. Second, it is profitable. That’s right, it’s already making money. Online learning is hardly a new concept, but two-year-old Platzi is taking a different approach… Read More13 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want To Miss This Week
Mar 21, 12:15AM
Some of our staff spent the week in Austin TX reporting on anti-robot protests and drones that shoot both fire and silly string. But the news cycle rolls on with big announcements from Facebook, Tesla and Nintendo. These are our best stories from this week (3/14-3/20). Read MoreYC-Backed HigherMe Promises A Smarter Approach To Applying For Retail Jobs And Other Hourly Work
Mar 21, 12:09AM
When you’re trying to find the right person for a job, résumés don’t always cut it. I suspect that’s true for many jobs, but Rob Hunter, co-founder of HigherMe (part of the current batch of startups incubated at Y Combinator), told me that it’s particularly true in retail jobs and other hourly positions — location, availability, and personality can be more… Read MoreTechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off is Coming To Seoul Next Month

Mar 20, 10:38PM
Instavest, a Y Combinator-backed startup, wants to help retail investors benefit from the trades of others. It also wants to help savvy speculators profit by sharing their trading data. Investors can list their trades on Instavest, including the company, share amount and rationale behind the investment. Other users can invest alongside the people willing to share their own purchases and sales.… Read MoreDiary Of A Cord Cutter In 2015 (Part 5: Upgrading To The TiVo Roamio OTA DVR)
Mar 20, 10:36PM
In late 2014, I finally took the plunge and cut the cord with cable TV, reducing my monthly bill from a big TV, phone and internet bundle to one which now only includes broadband. My “TV” subscription, meanwhile, includes just a handful of services: Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime Instant Video. That latter item is actually included with the annual subscription to Amazon… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
