Bank Loans Are A Better Financing Option Than You Might Think
Oct 18, 8:00PM
Today’s startup scene is all about raising VC money — as much as possible, as fast as possible. The market celebrates VC fund-raising, cheers unicorns and makes it seem like VC-backed startups are the holy grail of innovation. And so my fellow entrepreneurs were somewhat surprised to learn that when my VC-backed startup needed another cash injection, I resorted to the oldest trick… Read MoreNotifications Summit: Session 4
Oct 18, 6:02PM
Media as the First Instance, Alerts: Media as a case study, how media is using the notifications as an alert infrastructure: Jon Steinberg (Daily Mail), Andrew Mclaughlin (Digg), Alex Danco (Share the bus) How do you think about the notification stream? How do media companies develop notifications beyond simple alerts? How do you think about other contextual signals, interest graph, location… Read MoreThe Social Web And The Digital Panopticon
Oct 18, 5:00PM
Foucault’s idea of the “Panopticon” in Discipline and Punish has become depressingly easy to explain because the Internet has made it depressingly literal. Read More20 New Ways Facebook Is Eating The Internet
Oct 18, 4:57PM
Facebook never, ever, ever wants you to leave. That’s why it’s replicating features from other apps and pulling content like videos and news articles inside its app. The more time you spend on Facebook, the more it accomplishes its “open and connected” mission, and the more money it makes by showing you ads. Here’s 20 new ways it’s assimilating the Internet,… Read MoreMissionBit Teaches SF Public School Students How To Code; Needs Your Donations, Volunteers
Oct 18, 4:00PM
A year ago, I checked in with a tiny non-profit called MissionBit that was bringing computer science education to San Francisco’s public schools after class. Considering that only five percent of the city’s high school students are even enrolled in any computer science classes, San Francisco Unified provides a startling contrast with how the city has become geographic center of… Read MoreTechCrunch Makers: The Lemp Brewery Is St. Louis' Up And Coming Maker Space
Oct 18, 3:39PM
A place like the Lemp Brewery is rare. This factory, built in 1840 in St. Louis, Missouri, once spewed fragrant hops steam over Cherokee Street while workers rolled barrels of beer into the natural caves under the complex. Now it stands empty except for a small group of dedicated makers who are slowly turning the brewery into one of the most unique workspaces I’ve ever seen. We visited… Read MoreRisk And Reward: The Bundled Payment Opportunity For Tech Startups
Oct 18, 3:00PM
A key goal of the Affordable Care Act is to lower healthcare costs by prioritizing the quality of care over the quantity of services provided to patients. To that end, the Obama administration is moving quickly to adopt Alternative Payment Methods (APMs), such as a bundled payment system that fixes the amount Medicare will reimburse medical providers for specific episodes of care.

Oct 18, 3:00AM
While the “year of Apple Pay,” as Apple CEO Tim Cook dubbed 2015, still has a ways to go, the product’s first anniversary is rapidly approaching. And, considering Android Pay’s recent unveiling, it seems that its competitors are, as well. So, as we prepare to celebrate, the question is: How are things going? Read MoreProgramming Hate Into AI Will Be Controversial, But Possibly Necessary
Oct 17, 10:00PM
In the last few years, the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) has been thrust into the mainstream. No longer just the domain of sci-fi fans, nerds or Google engineers, I hear people discussing AI at parties, coffee shops and even at the dinner table: My five-year-old daughter brought it up the other night over taco lasagna. When I asked her if anything interesting had happened in school,… Read MoreNotifications Summit: Session 2
Oct 17, 7:19PM
The Notifications Summit was recorded live October 1, 2015 @ betaworks in New York. The Notification stream eats Apps, becoming the meta app. Matthew Panzarino (Techcrunch), Or Arbel (Yo!), Peter Rojas (betaworks) In a world where the only death sentence is noise what will be the relationship between notifications and the current smartphone UI with its field of app icons?

Scoot, the San Francisco-based electric scooter ride share network, has teamed up with Nissan to create a four-wheeled two-seater enclosed vehicle onto the streets of San Francisco. Starting today, Scoot members have the option to rent one of these adorable little cars to get them anywhere in the 7×7. Known as the Scoot Quad, this is an all-electric vehicle that you can turn on with the… Read MoreThe California Drought And Standards Of IoT
Oct 17, 7:00PM
The Internet of Things (IoT) has a remote control problem — devices are operating independently with no knowledge of each other’s existence. Even systems that are supposed to work together don’t do so easily. We need a digital age of enlightenment and openness to unleash the full potential of the IoT. This means standardizing cross-device and multi-platform communication,… Read MoreGhana's MEST Incubator To Launch Pan-African VC Fund, Expand Training Programs
Oct 17, 5:00PM
Ghana’s MEST innovation space is making moves, gearing up to launch a Pan-African VC fund in 2015, while expanding its IT training program into Nigeria and Kenya. Based in Accra, MEST (full name Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology) operates both as a tech institute and startup incubator. Its 12 month Entrepreneurs-in-Training (EIT) program infuses African techies with… Read MoreSpecialization, Polymaths And The Pareto Principle In A Convergence Economy
Oct 17, 3:00PM
Economists tell us that the history of human labor is one of continually increasing specialization. As we progressed along the economic continuum from hunter-gatherer through agrarian and industrial and now into post-industrial economies, the labor force has become more fragmented, with workers having more and more specialized skill sets. Read MoreIs Uber The Root Of All Evil?
Oct 17, 1:00PM
It is a truth universally acknowledged, in the enlightened liberal semi-socialist California circles in which I often move, that Uber is evil. It is accepted as axiomatic that they exploit their drivers; they brazenly reject the rule of democratic law, while simultaneously kowtowing to authoritarian China; they use vicious and/or deceitful tactics; and they ignore the needs of the disabled.

Oct 17, 2:22AM
TechCrunch has obtained documents that show Pinterest has been forecasting $169 million in revenue this year and $2.8 billion in annual revenue by 2018. Pinterest was also expecting to grow its monthly active users to 151 million by the end of 2015 and 329 million by 2018. Andreessen Horowitz used this information to solicit limited partners to invest in its special investment fund for… Read MoreTheranos Continues Damage Control Messaging
Oct 17, 12:23AM
Silicon Valley blood-test technology startup Theranos has once again responded to allegations made by the Wall Street Journal over questionable test results. Unfortunately, little of that response has to do with the allegations. Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has been on a selective media tour to do damage control over a WSJ report alleging the company wasn’t using its own tech for… Read MoreFor Students, The Future Is Now
Oct 16, 11:00PM
The 2014-15 school year was the first during which students of color outnumbered white students in America’s public schools. This demographic shift has significant implications for our education system and the future of our country. It also should be of vital importance to the companies that make up the nation’s technology sector. Read MoreTinder Owner Match Group Files To Go Public
Oct 16, 9:58PM

Oct 16, 9:39PM
Your party enters a darkened room. Candles flicker in the gloom and something is glinting along the far wall. Your thief enters first. Her dwarvish blade begins to glow. Danger is nearby! What will you do? Will you 3D print a wall section and snap it to a floor section? Or will your move a 3D-printed Beholder into the room? What about a pillar or stairs? What about a little wooden door?… 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.
