Read MoreWith 10,000 smartscooters sold, Gogogo powers up a rental service with Bosch in Berlin
Aug 03, 7:00AM
Gogoro’s electric smartscooter is pretty snazzy… but unless you live in Taiwan, chances are you haven’t actually seen one in person. The scooters require a network of battery-swapping terminals to work as intended, so they’re shipping out one country at a time — and so far, “one country at a time” means “one country”: Taiwan. That changes… Read More

Aug 03, 4:42AM
Bitfinex, one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges online, has suffered a major hack. The company has posted a note on their website detailing the security breach, and while it doesn’t mention a total amount, one of their employees confirmed on Reddit that the total amount stolen was 119,756 bitcoins. That amount converts to about $77,000,000 based on a price of $650 USD… Read MoreNavigating mobile content with app streaming
Aug 03, 3:00AM
People are very comfortable streaming movies, TV, music, video games and more. However, the idea of streaming apps on mobile devices, for better or worse, has lagged far behind. Increasingly, however, people are becoming sick of downloading apps; they want content and services instantly. App streaming is relatively new, but has the potential to transform how we engage with mobile content. Read MoreCrunch Report | Instagram Launches Stories

Our favorite companies from 500 Startups' 17th batch
Aug 03, 12:25AM
500 Startups’ 17th round of its incubator is wrapping up, and a total of 42 companies presented at its demo day in Mountain View on Tuesday. It was quite an impressive batch. Companies that came on stage touted their growth and that they were already generating revenue from their operations. It kind of goes to show how the way startups are valued, and what the startups are focusing on… Read MoreReview: Leica T serves its purpose as a great artisan tool
Aug 03, 12:02AM
In reality, there are few reasons where you or I would want to have a Leica camera. After all, it’s not a necessity: fast-shooting, high megapixel and wide aperture touting cameras all exist from the likes of Sony, Nikon and Canon — all with unique traits that make them suited for different photography styles. Read MoreElizabeth Holmes quietly stepped down from Obama's business ambassador program
Aug 02, 11:38PM
Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of beset blood analysis startup Theranos, is no longer mentioned on the Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship (PAGE) website. Holmes announced she had joined the Obama administration’s entrepreneurial PAGE program, which notably includes AOL CEO Steve Case, Airbnb founder Brian Chesky and Stripe’s Patrick Collison,… Read MorePokémon Go tops $160M in global revenue, time spent in-app remains high
Aug 02, 11:32PM
I’m still trying to deal with losing Pokévision, too, but Niantic’s recent changes to the game don’t seem to be putting a damper on player appetite just yet — new data from analytics firm Sensor Tower reveals that users are still spending, on average, around 26 minutes per day in the app in the U.S., which is actually a slight increase compared to the average play… Read MoreGreen Commuter gets you to work in Tesla Model X
Aug 02, 11:19PM
A vanpool is like a carpool, but a van can take more people to work in one trip. It is also significantly less cool-looking. But vanpoolers in Los Angeles need no longer worry about the potential for being uncool during the ride to work: Green Commuter has launched in the city with a fleet of all-electric, zero-emissions Tesla Model X SUVs. Green Commuter is a cross between a vanpool and… Read MoreChina has actually built an elevated bus that travels above car traffic
Aug 02, 11:06PM
If you’ve ever been surfing through random videos on Facebook or another social media site you’ve probably seen the concept video of that Chinese train/bus hybrid thing that can travel over cars (and over traffic). But that was just a rendered concept. And, like me, you probably thought that even though it was an amazing idea, it would never actually move past the idea stage.… Read MoreTableau Software's Q2 earnings fall short of estimates
Aug 02, 10:55PM
Data analytics provider Tableau Software reported second quarter earnings after the bell today. The Seattle-based company posted a loss due to higher than expected expenses for the quarter, while still beating analyst’s expectations in terms of revenue. For the three months ended June 30, Tableau posted total revenue of $198.5 million and non-GAAP net earnings came in… Read MoreVideo distribution startup Zype raises $2M
Aug 02, 10:52PM
Zype has raised another $2 million as it helps publishers deliver (and make money from) video across devices. Added to the $1.6 million that Zype announced last year, this brings the New York City startup’s seed round to $3.6 million. The round was led by Revel Partners, with participation from Point Nine Capital, Alpine Meridian Ventures, Berlin Ventures, Entrepreneurs Investment Fund… Read MoreWatch wall-walking spiderbots weave 'impossible' structures with carbon fiber
Aug 02, 9:19PM
Normally, the notion of setting a pair of spiderbots free in your house would seem alarming. But if you knew that they were weaving you a strange and mathematical hammock while you were gone? Suddenly that fear turns to wonder — and eventually, a nap. Read MoreMIT creates video you can reach out and touch
Aug 02, 9:10PM
Strictly speaking, video isn’t an interactive medium, but a new research project from MIT aims to change that: The school’s CSAIL lab has come up with a technique through which viewers can reach out and “touch” objects in videos, manipulating them directly to achieve effects similar to what you’d expect if you were actually touching the object live in the real… Read MoreHigh-tech updates to the retail experience
Aug 02, 9:00PM
Once upon a time the milkman delivered milk directly to your home. The Avon and Tupperware ladies had private parties in the comfort of a neighbor’s house. The Hoover salesperson demonstrated the vacuum cleaner on your living room carpet. It was a high-touch, well-informed, personalized and customer-friendly experience. What changed all that? Read MoreThe new age of empathy
Aug 02, 8:59PM
I’ve been rolling past videos on Facebook and Twitter for a while now, wondering why social media is so fascinated by puppies being saved from floods, babies hearing for the first time and grandmothers who have something sassy and wise to say about body acceptance. And, recently, I’ve come to realize what is going on. Whether it seems like it or not, we are entering a new age of… Read MoreEtsy shows signs of life in Q2 earnings with merchant sales hitting $669.7 million
Aug 02, 8:28PM
If you’re an Etsy investor, you’re somewhere between ecstatic and off the rails after two days of gains totaling more than 23 percent. Fortunately for investors, the fun hasn’t stopped. The e-commerce site specializing in handmade goods posted its second quarter earnings just after the bell today. Investors reacted by trading shares in the company up in after-hours trading.
