How Fintech Can Disrupt Africa's Cash-Based Economy
Jun 07, 1:00PM
Paying at a local coffee shop or superstore with your smartphone instead of your bank card is convenient, but not much more convenient than using a credit card. While there is significant disruption in some fintech areas, such as international money transfer by companies like TransferWise and Azimo, other innovations can seem a bit cosmetic to Western users.

There was a time, not very long ago when Latinos living in the U.S. could only point to two successful Internet/software startups in their countries of origin: Mercado Libre and Despegar/Decolar. While these companies were very successful, it was difficult for us to explain why no other startups in Latin America had flourished. Read MoreLegoizer Turns Any Image Into A Lego Kit
Jun 07, 2:59AM
In the future, everything will be made of Lego if the Legoizer has anything to say about it. This system, really a piece of pixelation software, turns images into Lego creations by breaking them into block-sized chunks and supplying a shopping list and list of instructions. For example, the image above takes 34 rows of Lego to build and requires a few hundred pieces of various colors,… Read MoreAd Tech Is About To Get Boring, And That's Good For Marketers
Jun 06, 11:00PM
Forget about HuffPo or what’s left of the surprisingly profitable subscription dial-up unit: One of the primary reasons Verizon bought AOL was for its ad tech business. The deal is a validation of programmatic advertising, but it also signals the end of programmatic’s startup era. Read MoreTech Blog Preps Crowdfunding Campaign To "Bring ReadWrite Back"
Jun 06, 10:09PM
Fans of tech blog ReadWrite got a grim message last week. A new page is asking them to “Bring ReadWrite Back,” and it declares, “To be completely frank, we’re struggling — and not just financially.” This is actually the latest iteration of ReadWrite’s crowdfunding campaign. Or, to be more precise, it’s the run-up to a campaign that’s… Read MoreWhy Moore's Law May Mean Success, Or Death, For Your Startup
Jun 06, 8:00PM
Amid talk of the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law, one may be tempted to ask: so what? Three years before co-founding Intel, Gordon Moore observed that transistors would decrease in cost and increase in performance at an exponential rate. Moore made his observation in a now-defunct trade rag in April 1965 to… not much fanfare. Most people – including Moore – don’t… Read MoreThe Death And Life Of Truth In The Internet Age
Jun 06, 7:00PM
I’m a two-foot-five short gnome. That’s a lie, but this supposed fact is now in the pool of information that is the internet (cesspool may be the more apt term). The chances are good that this post will be shared by someone on a social network (this is your hint to click on one of those social share buttons. Except StumbleUpon. No one likes StumbleUpon. We keep it there… Read MoreThe Online Privacy Lie Is Unraveling
Jun 06, 4:37PM
A new report into U.S. consumers’ attitude to the collection of personal data has highlighted the disconnect between commercial claims that web users are happy to trade privacy in exchange for ‘benefits’ like discounts. On the contrary, it asserts that a large majority of web users are not at all happy, but rather feel powerless to stop their data being harvested and used… Read MoreLive Rowing Is An App and Rowing Machine Monitor That Lets You Challenge Your Friends To A Boat Race
Jun 06, 4:05PM
Rowing has been a social activity since the time humans started paddling in the water. It’s one of the oldest Olympic group sports, and many an Ivy League college has a crew team. But indoor rowing machines are a mostly solitaire affair. That’s not very inspiring to those who like to workout this way, according to rowing enthusiast Nick Sheedy. He aims to bring the social aspect… Read MoreFintech's Forgotten Markets
Jun 06, 3:00PM
Money is pouring into fintech. In 2014, global investment in financial technology startups spiked to more than $12 billion. That’s three times what it was just a year prior, according to Accenture. There have also been some huge funding wins this year. Most recently, zero-commissions trading app Robinhood announced $50 million round and financial education site NerdWallet attracted… Read MoreOn Managing Developers
Jun 06, 1:00PM
I’ve been a software developer, a novelist, a journalist, and a manager–and managing developers is easily the trickiest thing I’ve ever done. (Not the hardest. But the trickiest.) I don’t pretend to be an expert, or a great manager. But I can assure you I am someone who screwed up a lot along the road to being better. Here are some mistakes from which I have learned: Read MoreThe Year That Was And Will Be In Mobile Payments
Jun 06, 10:00AM
The many success and failures of mobile payments and related solutions witnessed so far brings home a very simple fact-one mobile-based financial solution will not cater to all markets. After all, how can it? The mobile finance space itself is so vast: you have payments, payment-related services and commerce. Read MoreA City View Of The Sharing Economy
Jun 06, 12:00AM
The sharing economy is growing and impacting cities. Collaborative consumption feeds into, and off of, desires for immediate gratification. With “on-demand everything” the way of the present and future, the need for comprehensive and accurate data is paramount. Service efficiency and on-demand information are the primary game changers.

Happy Friday! It’s time for another episode of CrunchWeek, the show that throws a few of us bloggers in front of TechCrunch TV cameras to chew the fat about some of the more interesting tech news stories of the past seven days. Read MoreHTC Vive Developer VR Headsets Now Shipping
Jun 05, 8:44PM
HTC and Valve are playing catch-up a bit with Oculus in terms of getting their virtual reality headset out in the wild, but today they began shipping their developer hardware, which by all accounts is much further along than Oculus VR’s first kick at the can following their original Kickstarter campaign. The Valve/HTC Vive developer kit includes a Vive headset, along with two Lighthouse… Read MoreInboxVudu And The Uber That Got Away
Jun 05, 8:26PM
We hear a lot of startup origin stories here at TechCrunch, and sometimes they can blur together. But this one’s a little different. It’s about Ramesh Haridas, an entrepreneur and angel investor. He’s backed some successful startups, including Rapportive, which was acquired by LinkedIn. What Haridas told me about, however, was the one that got away — namely, Uber.

Jun 05, 7:53PM
In late May, Apple began offering same-day delivery of the various products and accessories it sells through its Apple Store app on mobile devices through a partnership with on-demand delivery startup Postmates. Now, that same option is being made available to consumers shopping on Apple’s web store. In select ZIP codes where Postmates operates, online shoppers will see a new delivery… Read MoreThis Week On The TechCrunch Bitcoin Podcast: Live In Tumbleweed City
Jun 05, 7:19PM
Hello, friends, and welcome back to another episode of TCBTC, TechCrunch’s bitcoin podcast. This time around the bend, our own John Biggs and myself sat — live, in person! — in TechCrunch’s recently reconstructed video space to discuss why your servant is The Worst, and also to dig into Bitlicense. Read MoreThis Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: GoPro, Pebble Time, Amazon Fire, And WWDC!
Jun 05, 7:00PM
Matt is huddled in Vail, Colorado. Why? To hang out with GoPro, as they “throw stuff into pools and dogs chase after it.” But more seriously, GoPro is reportedly unveiling a service that allows you to record something on your GoPro and instantly view/share it on the cloud. Big deal. Meanwhile, we discuss the Pebble Time (Darrell just finished his review), which Mr. Etherington… Read MoreChronos Is A Little Disk That Ensmartens Your Dumb Watch
Jun 05, 6:32PM
Now that I’ve nearly abandoned my collection of watches thanks to the evil Apple Watch, I’m starting to miss the staid, steady ticking of a good mechanical. But how can I be endlessly bothered by a little electronic thing and still celebrate the artistry of the fine watchmaker? Chronos! Chronos is a little disk that fits on the bottom of your fancy watch with… 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.
