Predictions On The Future Of Digital Media
Jan 11, 1:00AM
It’s pundit time — this time, digital media style. Last year I predicted challenges to YouTube’s dominance in online video, a beginning of cord cutting and the unbundling of video services, and an explosion in short form video content. This year the media landscape will continue to shift as VR grows up and consolidation takes over. Read More
Aerodrome Is The First Commercial Airport For Drones
Jan 10, 11:00PM
Aerodrome is working with the City of Boulder, Nevada, to launch the first commercial drone airport — the Eldorado Droneport. It’s one of only a handful of FAA-appointed UAS test sites in the United States. The plan is to offer training, maintenance and other support functions for the commercial drone industry, as well as for individual drone pilots. The company already… Read MoreWhat's Your Customer's Online Personality?
Jan 10, 11:00PM
In the retail world we live in today, it’s hard to know who your customers are. Unlike in the days of brick and mortar stores, customers in today’s online shopping marketplace are cloaked in layers of anonymity, their wants, desires and specific shopping styles all filtered out by keyboards and IP addresses. This presents a major marketing problem for many web enterprises. How do… Read MoreThe Industrialist's Dilemma
Jan 10, 11:00PM
Ford made headlines at CES this week when it announced a major partnership that will integrate Amazon’s technology into its cars, also following rumors that the company is working with Google to develop and manufacture self-driving cars. Even a couple of years ago, these combinations would have seemed shockingly strange, but today the only thing remotely surprising is that it took… Read MoreA Visit from Chelsea Handler, And A Nervous Wait Afterward
Jan 10, 10:21PM
As you may have heard, brash comic Chelsea Handler is set to host a new series on Netflix entitled “Chelsea Does…” in which she’ll explore a range of issues, including a universe still foreign to many outside of it: Silicon Valley. Now, as the series debut approaches on Saturday, January 23rd , at least one venture firm –- Foundation Capital — is waiting on… Read MoreThe Less Sporty Side Of E-Sports
Jan 10, 9:00PM
The e-sports industry is getting big. Really big. More people watch Twitch than CNN. Riot, Valve, Activision-Blizzard and EA all have e-sports initiatives. The largest tournaments attract tens of millions of viewers and offer multi-million dollar prize pools for the best players in games like League of Legends and Dota 2. However, when taking a closer look at the economics of e-sports and… Read MoreSix Transformations From 2015 That Will Reshape The World
Jan 10, 8:30PM
A broad range of technologies reached a tipping point, from science projects or objects of convenience for the rich, to inventions that will transform humanity. We haven’t seen anything of this magnitude since the invention of the printing press in the 1400s. And this is just the beginning. Read MoreApple Music Surpasses 10 Million Subscribers
Jan 10, 7:48PM
Apple Music has surpassed 10 million subscribers, according to a report from the Financial Times. Showcasing rapid growth, the number is a 50% increase from the 6.5 million paid subscribers that CEO Tim Cook claimed in October. Apple launched its music streaming service last June, offering free three-month trials (Apple Music for Android launched in November). Those who didn’t cancel… Read MoreWhy Bitcoin Can't Help The Poorest – Yet
Jan 10, 7:05PM
The term “financial inclusion” is a new buzzword in the fintech space. With the rise of services like Abra and MPesa, we are convinced that bitcoin is the solution to the problems of the unbanked. With bitcoin, we say, the house cleaner in Dubai can get her money home and the refugee can get his money over the border into a safer place. I’m even known to wax poetic about… Read MoreLedger Wallet Is One Of The Most Secure Bitcoin Wallets You Can Get
Jan 10, 6:36PM
You can call Ledger Wallet CEO Eric Larchevêque the Winklevoss of France given that he stores around 1,000 bitcoins on his bitcoin wallet — that’s around $450,000 as of today. But it also shows how secure the company’s wallet is. I interviewed him on our stage at CES. Read More
A Vegas Drone Rodeo In The Rain
Jan 10, 6:00PM
Just like last year, we paid a visit to the annual Drone Rodeo in the Nevada desert ahead of the first day of CES this year. Unlike last year, though, the weather was horrible. As we arrived at the Clark County Shooting Complex (and no, drone shooting wasn’t on the program), it was already windy and miserably cold. After about ten minutes, it started raining. Unsurprisingly, drones… Read MoreTop Tech For Kids At CES
Jan 10, 5:30PM
If this year’s CES Kids and Technology Marketplace is the pulse of where we are today, it’s clear that developers, investors and brands need to pay closer attention to kids as a valuable vertical. The market – and the trade floors – are filled with clunky watches that are both an eye sore and cumbersome for a little wrist and pointless screen-based toys. However,… Read MoreReimagining Internet.org
Jan 10, 4:00PM
In the wake of the recent suspension and growing calls for permanently banning Internet.org’s app (called Free Basics) in India, it seems a course-correction is now unavoidable for the initiative. A step in the right direction was announcing the Internet.org developer platform in May 2015, allowing developers to submit their web apps for consideration. Read MoreSaudi Arabian Startup NOMADD Looks To Clean Up Solar Energy Production
Jan 10, 4:00PM
In Saudi Arabia, a country known more for its vast oil reserves than its commitment to renewable energy, a small startup called NOMADD Desert Solar Solutions has developed a new way to clean up the process of solar energy production — literally. Even the Saudi kingdom realizes that despite the attractively low prices of fossil fuels, solar energy is gaining momentum. Solar panels are… Read MoreRocket Internet-Backed Easy Taxi Confirms Asia Exit, Doubles Down On Latin America
Jan 10, 4:20AM
Easy Taxi, the Uber and GrabTaxi rival backed by Rocket Internet and among other investors, has confirmed that it has exited Asia in order to focus on the ride on-demand market in its native South America. Read MoreHow Startups Are Solving A Decades-Old Problem In Education
Jan 10, 4:00AM
In 1984, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published research on a new method of teaching, commonly called Bloom’s 2 Sigma Problem. The term “2 Sigma” comes from the results of the study, which showed that students who were provisioned with a combination of one-on-one mentorship and mastery learning performed two standard deviations (“sigma”) higher than… Read MoreNest's Smart Home Apps Are Back Online Following Outages
Jan 10, 1:22AM
Nest users who depend on their connected products to monitor their homes experienced a hiccup in connectivity Saturday that left users scrambling to figure out what was happening. In the absence of any initial details from Nest, many users flocked to Twitter to vent their frustrations with the company’s products, and also reflect on the risks inherent to trusting connected devices… Read MoreC-Way Is An Apple Watch For Kids
Jan 10, 12:05AM
While wandering the Eureka Park floor at CES, we ran into C-Way, a cool French startup that is making GPS-enabled smart watches for kids. So what exactly does a smart watch for kids do? Well first off, it helps parents keep track of their kid’s location. By embedding a GPS sensor in the device, parents can open C-Way’s app and see where your child is at all times, thanks to a… Read MoreWhat To Know Before You Co-Invest
Jan 10, 12:00AM
One of my investors candidly asked me recently, “Shelly, if I have an opportunity to invest with people I’ve just met, how do I avoid getting screwed over?” This is a good question; for most investors interested in startups, co-investing is the de facto way to invest. Just like you scrutinize the entrepreneur, the technology and the market opportunity before investing, you… Read MoreBonaverde Plans To Reinvent The Way You Drink Coffee
Jan 09, 11:29PM
Bonaverde co-founder Hans Stier took the stage this week at CES to give us an update on his company. As a reminder, Bonaverde raised nearly $700,000 on Kickstarter a few years ago for a coffee machine that roasts, grinds and brews coffee in fifteen minutes. Read More
