Dataminr CEO On Whether He Regrets That Giant Fidelity-Led Round
Jan 25, 1:30AM
On Friday, CEO Ted Bailey of Dataminr swung by our temporary studio set-up in Davos, where Bailey appeared to having a highly productive trip. As he told us then, he’d already met Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, enjoyed a one-on-one dinner with Cisco’s legendary former CEO John Chambers, and was on his way to meet for the first time with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. While we had… Read MoreSeedcamp's New Portfolio Analysis Maps Europe's Flourishing Tech Scene
Jan 25, 12:36AM
Back in September 2007 I attended a startup pitch event held in a London university lecture theatre. The surroundings weren’t plush. The slightly musty lecture theatre didn’t hint at the ambitions of the people present. But when Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of Skype walked in, and joined in a panel of other seasoned tech entrepreneurs, everyone knew something important was happening.

Jan 25, 12:36AM
Yet more personnel changes are afoot at Twitter. According to reports in Recode (here and here), the social media site is about to lose not just one but several senior executives as soon as tomorrow. Most immediately, Katie Jacobs Stanton, the company’s VP of global media; Kevin Weil, SVP of product; and SVP of engineering Alex Roetter are all set to depart Twitter, according to… Read MoreFacebook's Second European Data Center Is Coming Ireland
Jan 25, 12:00AM
Facebook today officially announced that it plans to open its second European data center in Clonee, Ireland. The town, which sits right outside of Dublin will play host to Facebook’s sixth data center overall. Construction will start soon and the new facility will go online sometime in late 2017 or early 2018. Facebook’s first European data center opened in Luela, Sweden back… Read MoreHow I Raised A $1 Million Seed Round When I Was 9 Months Pregnant
Jan 24, 11:00PM
The last time I needed a doctor’s note was in elementary school. That was, until last September — I needed a note from my OBGYN proving I was only 31-and-a-half weeks pregnant so I could board a plane to San Francisco with fair odds I wouldn’t give birth to a mile-high baby. I was in the middle of raising a $1 million seed round for my startup, Honey. I was excited about… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Verbal Hashtags

Jan 24, 4:30PM
There are more than 300 cybersecurity companies operating in Israel, making it an industry second only to the U.S. in size. In 2014, exports by Israeli cybersecurity companies reached $6B, equating to approximately 10% of the global cybersecurity market. In 2015, we expect that percentage to increase as the number of startups grew almost 25% over 2014, with 81 new cybersecurity startups founded. Read MoreThe Evolving Nature Of P2P Lending Marketplaces
Jan 24, 4:00PM
In March 2014, The Economist published Banking without banks, declaring that peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms were set to disrupt banks and other traditional sources of capital by directly connecting borrowers to individual lenders. In the past few years, the so-called P2P lending industry has certainly experienced tremendous growth, with origination volume doubling annually, reaching… Read MoreThe End Of The Big Venture Formula
Jan 24, 1:30PM
Well, do I have the deal of the century for you! Investors – the smartest investors in the world – are throwing billions at it! The price can only go up! People are flocking from around the globe to get their share! Time is very limited, so you have to act now! It’s so exciting, I even forgot how to use normal punctuation!!! Then there’s the crash and suddenly, the… Read MoreLiving Off Hackathons: The Possible Rise Of The Pro-Hacker
Jan 24, 12:00PM
Hackathon prize money keeps rising each year as organizations learn to take advantage of their value. Runner-up cash prizes are now in the thousands, and grand-prize payouts are as high as $1 million. There is now a compelling argument for ambitious programmers to live off hackathons: They can forget the long-term slog of building a startup and instead focus on the fun part — the first… Read MoreWhen Virtual Reality Meets Education
Jan 24, 3:00AM
Since the 1950s, virtual reality (VR) has been hovering on the periphery of technology without achieving accepted mainstream application or commercial adoption. Since 2012, VR startups have raised more than $1.46 billion in venture capital, including more than $100 million in funding during the last four consecutive quarters. In the abstract as well as the applied, modern education is poised… Read MoreThe Repeat Political Madness Of Never-Ending Crypto Wars
Jan 24, 1:00AM
What is it with politicians and encryption? There are now two bills in different U.S. states, one in California and one in New York, proposing that smartphones sold in the state must be able to be decrypted on demand by either their manufacturer or OS provider. Read MoreHow Solar Software Can Save The World
Jan 23, 11:00PM
VCs have avoided solar deals ever since Solyndra became a four-letter word. But while their attention has strayed, the industry has been on a tear. In 2010, U.S. solar installers hit a milestone of 1 GW per year. Five years later, they’re installing more than 1 GW per month. This tremendous growth has fed a swelling herd of solar unicorns populated by the likes of SolarCity, SunEdison… Read MoreGoogle Working On Its Own Consumer VR Hardware, Latest Job Postings Suggest
Jan 23, 10:55PM
Google appears to be doubling down on virtual reality as they look to begin building “multiple” consumer hardware devices, according to new VR job postings on their site. Google’s current consumer VR offerings are confined to its Google Cardboard program, which allows consumers to experience rudimentary virtual reality with a simple system involving cheap headsets attached… Read MoreBlue Origin Launches and Lands Recovered Rocket
Jan 23, 8:35PM
Without any notice, Blue Origin made history once again when they completed a successful launch and landing of a suborbital rocket yesterday. What made this flight particularly notable was that they used the same rocket that had been launched into space on a flight in November. The recovered New Shepard rocket launched from Blue Origin’s test site in West Texas, brought a capsule to… Read MoreIs VC The Right Money For Fintech?
Jan 23, 8:00PM
Financial technology has never been a more exciting or innovative category — especially in New York City. Oddly, tech is not the driving force in many of these ventures. The Blockchain and Bitcoin notwithstanding, most of what we’re seeing now is financial product evolution and the unbundling of the large bank. Most of these companies could have been built 20 years ago. Read MoreiAllocate Is A Robot That Helps You Invest Your Cash
Jan 23, 6:33PM
Robots are everywhere. They help lawyers make decisions, they sweep up after our parties, and now they can help you figure out how to invest your money. In fact, an Atlanta-based company called iAllocate is using artificial intelligence to suggest where you should be stashing your millions. “Currently, iAllocate.me provides investors of all levels a DIY set of tools to not only… Read MoreBitcoin Is Dead (Again), Long Live Bitcoin (Again)
Jan 23, 2:00PM
Oh, the drama, such drama. Last week, longtime Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn declared “the Bitcoin experiment…has failed,” and resigned from that community with a fusillade of verbal grenades (and a New York Times profile of his dissent.) This in turn provoked a whole torrent of hot takes and reactions, which mostly had one thing in common: contempt for all who disagree.
