And The Winner Of Hardware Battlefield 2016 Is… Nima By 6SensorLabs
Jan 09, 12:08AM
The competition was very fierce for the third edition of our Hardware Battlefield. 14 shockingly good hardware startups competed to win the coveted Metal Man trophy.

Jan 08, 11:52PM
Stables full of startups are being turned into glue, whether they’re mythical beasts, donkeys in party hats, or just baby horses. The latest forced to do layoffs is Maker Media, the champion of the do-it-yourself movement. 10 years and $10 million later, multiple sources tell me that Maker Media laid off 20% of its staff today. When asked, Maker Media confirmed to me that 17 people… Read MoreWhy SpaceX Is Changing Its Rocket Landing Location

Jan 08, 10:18PM
Mixpanel laid off 18 people yesterday, representing less than 10 percent of its 230-plus person team. “This is obviously a deeply tough decision,” said CEO Suhail Doshi. “By no means do we intend to hire people only to let them go … We’re very sorry that it happened.” Many other startups are also cutting costs by cutting their headcount.

Jan 08, 10:00PM
In 2015, the investing community sat up and took notice of edtech. LinkedIn acquired Lynda, and ever since, more analysts have been meticulously studying the growth of edtech funding and innovation. With $1.85 billion raised in 2015, and a nod from Mary Meeker’s 2015 report, more people are starting to realize that the Internet has just begun to impact education. Read MorePeach Is A Slick New Messaging App From The Founder Of Vine
Jan 08, 9:59PM
Chat chat chat, talk talk talk. We love it, you love it. Messaging apps are the hot for 2016 (again) and there’s seemingly a niche platform for all of us. There’s also big platforms for the rest of the world like Messenger, WhatsApp, Line, Snapchat and Hangouts (and tons more). One new app, Peach, is pretty interesting. Peach was created by the founder of Vine, Dom Hofmann. Read MoreHands On With Google's Project Tango Developer Kit

Jan 08, 9:26PM
Famed accelerator Y Combinator has grown a lot under the direction of Sam Altman, who was appointed president roughly two years ago.

Jan 08, 9:00PM
Self-driving drone Lily has had quite the success in sales and it’s not even on the market yet. The startup pulled in a whopping $34 million in pre-orders by the end of 2015, with 60,000 units already sold.

Despite the glorified status that entrepreneurship has obtained in modern culture, it’s a huge pain in the pass. The work is long. The lows are low. Showering? Good luck with that. One of the worst parts about being an early-stage founder, however, is realizing just how little you really know about the broader ecosystem that you’re supposed to navigate your way through — and… Read MoreMatterHackers Releases A Tablet That Lets You Design 3D Prints On The Go

You may have heard the rumors that Apple might be doing away with the headphone jack on the iPhone to push forward the wonderful world of wireless listening. Awesome, right? Well, hold on.

Jan 08, 4:00PM
In 2015, the virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) industry was widely heralded as the next tectonic shift in computing.
