A kid held up a sign with his Venmo ID on ESPN and thousands of people sent him money
Sep 11, 6:36AM
Each Saturday during the college football season ESPN hosts College GameDay, an pre-game show with a bunch of football experts and hundreds of screaming college kids in the background. Today one of those screaming college kids was Sam Crowder, a student who brilliantly decided to hold up a sign with his Venmo username asking his mom to send him beer money. Cue the Internet, and instead of… Read MoreWhy I'm giving my company Election Day off
Sep 11, 5:00AM
This year’s U.S. presidential election is confusing for everyone. The popularity contest that has become the election is diluting our time, attention and ability to think critically. Which is ironic, given that we are more connected to information than we have ever been before, and the computation necessary to model problems has never been cheaper. Read MoreSlowly but surely, Congress will join us in the 21st century
Sep 11, 3:00AM
With Congress’ approval ratings in the single digits, and in the midst of an ugly political season, our legislature might not appear as a hopeful place to start putting U.S. democracy back on track. Shows that depict Congress as sinister and conspiratorial don’t help its dismal reputation. The truth is less dystopian, if not as entertaining: Congress isn’t organized enough to… Read MoreFacebook isn't just fighting ad blockers, it's fighting the underlying causes of blocking
Sep 11, 12:00AM
Many have interpreted Facebook’s move to “block the blockers” as a sign that Facebook is prioritizing its relationship to advertisers over users. It’s actually far more subtle. Facebook is trying to find — and own — the middle ground that neither advertisers nor publishers have been able to inhabit successfully. Read MoreWhen's the best time to share on Facebook?
Sep 10, 10:00PM
There’s all manner of advice and guidance on the web for online publishers looking to optimize their social media efforts: CoSchedule, Fast Company, HubSpot, ShortStack, Forbes, Hootsuite, QuickSprout and others all claim to have the answer. However, many of the strategies used by publishers for optimizing engagement and boosting referral traffic from social are flawed. Read MoreAfter more than a decade, the fire still burns for Box CEO Aaron Levie
Sep 10, 8:51PM
Box CEO Aaron Levie has been at it for more than a decade. For a guy barely past 30, that means it’s all he’s done professionally for his entire adult life. You could forgive him if he were thinking about another challenge, but even after all this time, the fire still clearly burns for Levie. When I asked him about possibly getting bored in an in-person interview this week at… Read MoreApp platform Kinetise aims to bring app building to the enterprise
Sep 10, 6:58PM
Kinetise, an app building platform and Disrupt hackathon favorite, aims to democratize the the the process of creating native mobile apps for iOS and Android in the enterprise. Using a drag-and-drop interface, the system essentially lets you build and deploy native apps, visually. In this way, non-developers are able to create and deploy mobile apps. The company originally focused on selling… Read MoreAt Amazon the Flywheel Effect drives innovation
Sep 10, 6:45PM
When Amazon CTO Werner Vogels talks about his company’s philosophy around innovation, it’s probably a good idea to listen. Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos has always found a way to capitalize on technology trends, whether being an early online retailer, seeing the future of cloud computing and forming Amazon Web Services, or developing delivery drones and commercial… Read MoreGillmor Gang: The Enterprise Show
Sep 10, 5:00PM
The Enterprise Gang — Paul Greenberg, Esteban Kolsky, Brent Leary, Denis Pombriant, and Steve Gillmor. This enterprise-focused show features leading independent analysts discussing the changing nature of industry influencers, thought leaders, and the media. Realtime social networks are changing the nature of television, politics, and business as mobile intersects with the digital economy. Read MoreCamorama records 360-degree 4K video for your VR pleasure
Sep 10, 4:22PM
While the Camorama promo video is a bit, shall we say, racy I think the product is pretty solid. It’s basically a 4K action cam that doubles as a 360-degree camera. This means you can record 360-degree videos for a mere $239 for early birds. Who would want such witchcraft? 360-degree video is pretty cool stuff and it could mean that we can expect more VR video on Youtube and other services. Read MoreThe Beginning Of Protest
Sep 10, 1:00PM
The most provocative book I’ve read this year is The End Of Protest, by Micah White, one of the two initiators of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Remember Occupy? Those crazy days when, giddy with the apparent success of the previous year’s Arab Spring, independent, decentralized groups of protestors, connected by cell phones and social media, seized public spaces across… Read MoreMilitary veterans provide a new competitive advantage for tech companies
Sep 10, 4:00AM
Ask any Silicon Valley CEO what some of their biggest challenges are and you likely will hear “finding and retaining great people.” Tech is booming, yet it remains incredibly hard to attract and keep talent amid a competitive ecosystem. A few companies, however, have figured out a competitive advantage through a relatively untapped source of talent: military veterans. Read MoreCrunch Report | Who will buy The Honest Company?

Five lessons for founders
Sep 10, 3:31AM
Fundraising is something all of us as entrepreneurs worry about constantly and discuss pretty much whenever we meet. A lot of people think you should meet for the first time with a VC or a potential investor with your pitch in hand, ready to start the process. I disagree. Raise Long Before You Raise Scrap around and find a way to get warm intros early. It’s like picking a partner for… Read MoreThe drone race is off and running, with Israel in the lead
Sep 10, 3:00AM
Audiences around the globe enjoyed all the action of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games thanks in large part to the drones hovering above the events (or below them), capturing every movement, from every angle. Athletes and spectators didn’t give a second thought to the presence of these drones — which shows how rapidly they’ve become commonplace. Indeed, drones can be found in… Read MoreRoku lands its first streaming deal in Asia with Philippines-based PLDT tie-up
Sep 10, 1:18AM
Roku, the streaming media company, has netted its first deal with an operator in Asia after it announced an agreement with Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). Read MoreEvery single part of this camera is 3D printed
Sep 10, 1:01AM
We’ve seen 3D printed cameras before, but they always include some prefabricated part: a hinge, a spring, or more complicated bits like shutters and iris mechanisms. But designer Amos Dudley has done what I’ve always hoped someone would do: make a camera entirely out of 3D printed parts — yes, including the lens. Read MorePayPal brushes-off request from Palestinian tech firms to access the platform
Sep 10, 12:58AM
Some people might be wondering why a hashtag to do with Paypal has been blowing up on twitter in the last two days. The #PayPal4Palestine hashtag has been making waves on social media after 43 companies and organizations in Palestine published an open letter to Paypal asking for the payment platform to work there. The move came only after PayPal ignored their requests for a formal meeting.… Read MoreJudge a book through its cover with this terahertz camera setup
Sep 10, 12:11AM
What do you do if you want to peek inside a book, but you’re pretty sure it’ll crumble into dust if you even crack the cover a little bit? Well, nothing: Opening a book is a critical step in finding out what’s inside. Or at least it was until someone at MIT decided that shouldn’t be the case. Read MoreThe progressive case for replacing the welfare state with basic income
Sep 10, 12:00AM
It appears some establishment voices have picked up on a way of opposing the idea of the monthly citizen dividend of about $1,000 per month, known as universal basic income (UBI), in a way that successfully leaves some progressively minded people afraid.
