Highland Europe’s new €332 million fund promised to help fill the €10-30 million ‘growth gap’, and, true to its word, the VC firm’s latest invest sees it lead a €27 million ($30m) Series A round in London-based Condeco.

Read MoreThe next wave in software is open adoption software
Jun 20, 3:00AM
There’s a big shift happening in how enterprises buy and deploy software. In the last few years, open technology — software that is open to change and free to adopt — has gone from the exception to the rule for most enterprises. We’ve seen the IT stack redrawn atop powerful open-source projects, with developers opting for an “open-first” approach to… Read MoreIn defense of the Uber-ization of everything
Jun 19, 11:00PM
I recently posted on Facebook a short rant about digital transformation for established enterprises. The skinny is that there are endless amounts of why and barely no opining on the what or how when it comes to executing any kind of digital transformation of your business or industry. Not surprisingly, Uber got caught in the crossfire and became the subject of the comments. Folks declared how… Read MoreWhy a global threat sharing program is vital to protect global infrastructure
Jun 19, 10:30PM
We live in a time where the global sharing of threat intelligence is not only possible; it’s vital to the security of our global infrastructure, and the public and private sectors have been working tirelessly to create these programs. So far, the biggest challenges have revolved around technology, laws, and cost — but still, over the past year, there has been a major push… Read MoreINNOVATE2016: Candidate Erin Schrode harnesses tech and positivity for a new political generation
Jun 19, 8:30PM
Schrode’s campaign to become the youngest representative in Congress really caught fire on social media. Read MoreFinancial technology matures as government steps in
Jun 19, 7:00PM
You would be hard pressed to read the news and not know that fintech is seemingly at a crossroads. Indeed, some are already declaring financial technology dead as a space for the near-term. Not so fast. Read MoreBlue Origin launches, lands the same rocket for the fourth time
Jun 19, 4:04PM
Blue Origin has successfully completed the fourth launch and landing of their New Shepard rocket and crew capsule. With another nominal flight test, Jeff Bezos’ rocket company is marching toward their goal of becoming the first private company to send tourists into space. And along the way, they’re perfecting the ability to reuse suborbital rockets over and over again – a… Read MoreLondon-based Thriva offers a home finger-prick blood test to quantify your bad self
Jun 19, 3:46PM
When the ‘quantified self’ involves stabbing your little finger with a sharp object and collecting the resulting blood, it feels like the real deal. Enter Seedcamp-backed Thriva, a new London-startup that offers a home finger-prick blood test that lets you track a range of internal blood markers associated with good or bad health. Read MoreStartup spending guide: When freebies will do
Jun 19, 3:00PM
This is the second installment in the Startup Spending Guide series, where we are exploring how early-stage startups should spend their non-payroll money. In the first installment we enumerated areas where early-stage startups need to spend money. In this installment we’re going to cover areas where free tools are not only available, but preferred. In the final installment we’ll… Read MoreSigns point to a contraction, but no one's bursting venture capital's bubble
Jun 19, 2:30PM
Regardless of the economic climate, the real job of any investor is to help entrepreneurs build meaningful companies and technologies. The best investors that we know don’t try to time the market, and neither do the best entrepreneurs. We have to keep at it. Read MoreNo man is an island, which is why London's tech community needs Europe
Jun 19, 11:30AM
The EU is not the problem. The EU has shown that it can stand up to corporate giants like Google and Microsoft much better than our own government. They’ve stood up to big TelCo’s, prevented giant mergers (that our government wanted to wave through) and forced down tariffs. Let’s hope they keep at it. Read MoreAnnouncing the agenda for the TechCrunch Meetup in Tel Aviv
Jun 19, 9:00AM
It’s happening. The TechCrunch team landed in Tel Aviv and we’re in the starting blocks for the TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off in Tel Aviv on Wednesday June 22. And it’s going to be an awesome event. Read MoreFor more diversity in the workplace, start with technical roles
Jun 19, 3:00AM
The lack of diversity in terms of gender, race, ethnicity and age is well documented in the technology industry. Public data shared by major tech employers show that women only represent 25 to 45 percent of their entire workforce. The disparity gets worse in technical roles; for the past five years, women have been stuck at 21 percent of technical roles. Other underrepresented groups face… Read MoreVR skateboarding at E3
Jun 19, 12:30AM
I’ve been skateboarding for longer than I care mention, and I still had to hold onto the damn railings. I’m going to blame it on the screwy sense of orientation one experiences in virtual reality, but it probably owes just as much to my fear of falling off a mechanical skateboard simulator in the middle of the crowded E3 show floor. The exhibit was created by D-Box to promote… Read MoreContact CI's Exotendon system brings touch to VR
Jun 18, 11:29PM
Sometimes the coolest demos at a convention are tucked away in the back corners, far from the bright lights and big booths industry stalwarts. One of the hidden gems of this year’s E3 arrives courtesy Contact CI. The small Cincinnati-based startup was showing of its developer kit for the first time at the event, featuring a complex glove designed to offer more lifelike VR… Read MoreWill the next Siri be empathetic?
Jun 18, 10:00PM
Humans have forever personified their technologies. We engage emotionally, have expectations and establish a trust-based association with our technology. Technologies that are truly important to our well-being and happiness transcend their status as just “stuff.” If we have an emotional bond with our technology, wouldn’t it be smart to design systems that feel empathetic to… Read MoreFlipping the office telepresence model
Jun 18, 7:00PM
What if I told you that you could visit three continents in one day without leaving your office and truly feel like you were there in person? That you could move down a hallway or across a stage, make eye contact and feel, well, more like a human being than just a face on a screen?
