Oct 12, 8:00PM
Fixed, a mobile app that fights parking tickets and other traffic citations on users’ behalf, has had its parking ticket operations blocked in three of its top cities, San Francisco, Oakland and L.A. after the cities increased the measures they were taking to block Fixed from accessing their parking ticket websites.

Oct 12, 8:00PM
This summer, two different events affected two different worlds. First, Milan-based Hacking Team — a small group of programmers who customize malware to gather intelligence — was itself hacked, and more than 400GB of its internal data was leaked. A few days later, a South Korean intelligence officer who had been implementing tracking software killed himself, and his suicide note… Read MoreExperience Street View In Virtual Reality With Google Cardboard

The Sippy may be the answer to all life’s greatest caffeine-based problems. Launching on Kickstarter this week, the Sippy will make espresso any time, any place. The slim little cannister uses CO2 cartridges, water, and Nespresso/Hema/Coffee Duck-compatible coffee cups to brew up a shot of java whenever the craving strikes. The Sippy is made of anodized Aluminium, with a 35ml chamber… Read MorePIF Is Tinder For Networking Entrepreneurs
Oct 12, 7:00PM
Launched at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, PIF (Pay It Forward) is an app that is taking a literal approach to social networking.

Oct 12, 6:03PM
Fresh juice delivery turned healthy meal delivery startup Thistle switched over to a subscription-based healthy food business today. Thistle launched last summer in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood. I remember walking by one day and seeing a pop-up out in front of West of Pecos. I can’t recall now what it was I tried, but I do remember the concoction was delicious and made me… Read MoreIs AWS The Most Important Enterprise Company?

Oct 12, 5:00PM
Popular Science was one of my favorite magazines as a teenager. I was amazed by the inventions of mere mortals, and wondered if there was some sort of genetic mutation that allowed a select few to see the future more clearly than the rest of us. Secretly, I hoped to be a visionary someday. Read MoreSell It Easy Offers A Hassle-Free Alternative To eBay And Craigslist, Including A Pick-Up Service

Oct 12, 3:52PM
Last month, we talked with Jon Callaghan of True Ventures and marveled at the billion-dollar-plus return that his firm is poised to reap from leading the seed round of the wearable fitness company Fitbit. But True isn’t the only venture firm for which Fitbit is a giant home run. During a recent sit-down with Jeff Clavier, founder of the venture firm SoftTech VC in San Francisco, he… Read MoreSwytch Gets Its U.K. Burner Mobile Number Business Up And Running

Oct 12, 3:09PM
Facebook’s where people spend their time on mobile, and now it’s working on several new features to give shopping sites a cut of the attention. The most eye-catching is a test of a Shopping feed that aggregates posts and photos about products on sale from different retailers. It’s also beefing up the fast-loading “immersive ads” it started testing last month by… Read MoreBoostinsider Raises $1.5M To Pay Influencers For Sharing On Social Media
Oct 12, 3:00PM
While companies have long been using social media influencers as native advertising, these influencers have traditionally been limited to online “celebrities” known for their large follower base. Although often successful, this strategy forces companies to bet on quality over quantity, essentially deciding that one tweet from someone with 100,000 followers will lead to more… Read MoreInstacart And Allrecipes Now Let You Add A Meal's Ingredients To Your Grocery List With A Click
Oct 12, 2:40PM
Services that deliver the ingredients and recipes you need to make fresh, home-cooked meals, like Blue Apron, HelloFresh, and Plated, have grown in popularity as people are turning away from low-cost, fast food in favor of healthier alternatives. But those subscription services are still something of a luxury for many, thanks to their higher prices for the added convenience of measured… Read MoreThese Are The Winners From The Denver And NOLA TC Meetup + Pitch-Offs
Oct 12, 2:25PM
After Disrupt ended in late September, I hit the road for a few weeks to check out some regional tech hubs, bringing the TC Meetup + Pitch-off to Denver and New Orleans. There was booze, networking, and fierce competition in both cities. And today, I’m proud to announce the winners of the TC Meetup + Pitch-off in both Denver and New Orleans.
