Net Neutrality And Modern Exchanges
Sep 24, 7:00PM
A great victory was won earlier this year for supporters of innovation, competition and openness — net neutrality rules were adopted by the FCC. Those rules have recently come into effect, and we’ve already seen significant movement, including the $100 million AT&T fine for data throttling.

Sep 24, 5:32PM
At half the price of its last mobile VR headset, the new $99 Oculus-made Samsung Gear VR is cheap enough to unlock virtual reality for the mainstream. Revealed today at the Oculus Connect conference, it works with the whole 2015 line of Samsung Smartphones including the Note 5, S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Edge+. It will ship in November in time for Black Friday. Compared to the $199 previous Gear VRs… Read MoreAmino Raises $6.5M To Build Mobile Communities
Sep 24, 5:06PM
Amino, a startup that’s built 41 different mobile community apps (so far), is announcing that it has raised $6.5 million in Series A funding. I first wrote about the company a little more than a year ago, when it raised a $1.65 million seed round. Co-founder and CEO Ben Anderson told me that the idea was to reinvent the traditional online forum with a smartphone-optimized experience… Read MoreThe Magic Numbers For Startup Health
Sep 24, 5:00PM
In this new age of so-called tech “unicorns” and their eye-popping valuations, it’s important to remember that not all revenue is created equal. Indeed, recent volatility in the stock market has lots of industry watchers cautioning startups to concern themselves less with achieving unicorn status and more on building customer and employee satisfaction.

Sep 24, 4:00PM
Launching today with $900K in seed funding, Ledge is an app that lets users easily borrow money from their peers. Everyone knows it’s hard to lend money to family or friends. The process is awkward, and most people never actually get paid back. Ledge is trying to fix this issue by bringing automation and transparency to peer-to-peer lending. Here’s how Ledge works: After a… Read MoreThe Case For A Large Founding Team
Sep 24, 3:00PM
It is common wisdom nowadays that a founding team consisting of 2–3 founders is ideal. Doing it solo is simply too hard. Founder burnout is an imminent possibility, and statistics are simply not on your side. Until recently, the most common formula for a startup’s founding team was the MBA and techie duo. In recent years, there’s been a shift toward a three-member formula.… Read MoreBeyond Tech IPOs
Sep 24, 1:00PM
Technology darlings like Uber, Pinterest and Airbnb may be taking their time on the way to exit, but that doesn’t mean IPOs aren’t happening. They’re alive and well in the consumer space — from food brands to premium pet food and retail establishments. So why are these companies pursuing IPOs — and finding success in the markets — while tech companies are… Read MoreGlowforge's 3D Maker Machine Now Available On Pre-Order
Sep 24, 1:00PM
Glowforge has flipped the switch to on for pre-orders of its 3D laser printer. Makers can now purchase the machine in advance on the Seattle-based startup’s website starting today. The Glowforge 3D printer isn’t really a 3D printer, but a laser cutter. It’s confusingly described but actually cuts into and reduces material to make objects from plastic, leather and the like… Read MorePremise Raises $50 Million To Outsource The Collection Of Economic Data
Sep 24, 11:30AM
Three-year-old Premise, an economic data tracking platform, has raised $50 million in Series C funding from earlier backer Social + Capital Partnership and new investor Valor Equity Partners, which pitched in $35 million. Valor’s Antonio Gracias, who is also a director at Tesla and SpaceX, is joining the board. He joins the company’s earlier board members Chamath Palihapitiya,… Read MoreHow Smart Founders Avoid The Risk Of A Down Round
Sep 24, 11:00AM
Talking about down rounds in a bull market feels like shopping for an umbrella in this unprecedented California drought. You get some funny looks, but it pays to be prepared. When the current market shifts, as we know it will, capital will dwindle and shrink valuations. We’ll see down rounds spike, just as they always do when the markets fall. A down round can happen to anyone, but… Read MoreOnshape Raises $80 Million Led By Andreessen Horowitz

VCs strive to find passionate founders. Well, it’s hard to find someone as passionate about computer-aided design (CAD) software as Jon Hirschtick, the cofounder and CEO of three-year-old, Cambridge, Ma.-based Onshape. It was back in 1993 that Hirschtick founded his first 3D modeling software company, SolidWorks, selling it four years later for $316 million to the multinational 3D… Read MoreLinkedIn And Uber's China Rival Didi Kuaidi Ink Deal To Partner On Apps, R&D And Recruitment
Sep 24, 3:31AM
LinkedIn took a step today to build up its presence in China, and China’s Uber rival Didi Kuaidi took a step to make more inroads into the U.S. tech industry: the two companies have signed a deal to form a strategic partnership covering product integration, technology, recruitment, and brand development. The announcement was made during a large meeting today at the Microsoft… Read MoreThe Internet's Vanishing Point?
Sep 24, 2:00AM
Technologies only become truly integrated into society when they move from requiring forethought to becoming an afterthought. It’s the progression of all innovations and it’s now happening to how we experience of the internet. Read MoreAnd The Winner Of TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2015 Is… Agrilyst
Sep 24, 12:43AM
At the very beginning, there were around a thousand startups. We hand-picked the 25 greatest companies so that they could compete in our incredibly competitive startup competition — the Startup Battlefield.

Sep 24, 12:07AM
At Disrupt yesterday, one of the most interesting talks was with Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala. Other than being the MVP of the latest NBA Championship series, Iguodala is a businessperson. He’s looking for cool companies to work with, fun projects to work on and the latest in Silicon Valley trends. It sure helps that he’s on the Golden State Warriors, a team… Read MoreGeorama's Live Virtual Reality Platform Lets You Explore The World >From Your Sofa
Sep 23, 11:56PM
St. Augustine of Hippo said “the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page”—-which is somewhat unfair to people who can’t travel because of financial or physical reasons. Georama wants to help them with its virtual-reality travel platform, which offers live guided tours in high-definition video. The startup, which already has an enterprise… Read MoreRePhone Lets You Turn Anything Into A Phone
Sep 23, 11:55PM
Making a cellphone is easy. You go into a mine, pull up some ore, extract various metals and then add components that you manufacture from other mines. Then you have to get FCC clearance and create lithium ion battery. Finally, you need to write a Snake game. If you can’t do that, try RePhone. The project is actually a tiny circuit board with a SIM slot and an optional screen. It also… Read MoreThe Truth About Streaming: It Pays Labels A Lot, They Don't Pay Musicians
Sep 23, 11:24PM
Musicians, it’s time to stop hating streaming services, and here’s why. Troy Carter, one of the world’s most powerful artist managers (John Legend, Meghan Trainor, and previously Lady Gaga) just busted some myths with four reasons streaming is the future of music, not the end. Streaming Will Earn Artists A Lot With Enough Users – Royalty payouts from streaming might… Read MoreHydroswarm's Drones Could Solve Our Ignorance Of The Oceans
Sep 23, 11:17PM
The earth consists of 70% ocean and 30% land. And yet, famously, we know more about the surface of the moon than what lies beneath the waves, because only 5% of the world’s oceans have been explored. This, despite the fact that 95% of the world’s life, energy and resources lies in the sea. Currently our way of exploring this is by loading a bunch of electronics into something… 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.
