Lilium raises $90M Series B for all-electric flying taxi
Sep 05, 7:00AM
Imagine some time in the not-so-distant future. After making your way to the nearest “community landing strip,” you’ll pull out your phone, and, with a single tap, hail the nearest ‘air taxi’ to take you to your chosen destination. The experience will have Uber-like convenience but the mode of transport couldn’t be any more different. Read MoreMost of 2017's tech IPOs are performing well
Sep 05, 3:58AM
Blue Apron and Snap had disappointing debuts this year, but others have fared much better. Of the tech companies that have gone public this year, most are trading above their IPO price. But there haven’t been many of them, with just 15 tech companies debuting so far this year, making it the second slowest start since 2009, according to Dealogic. Although it isn’t quite as bad as the… Read MoreStartup Battlefield Australia Applications Extended to September 11
Sep 05, 1:39AM
All you procrastinators — fear not! Applications for Battlefield Australia have now been extended to September 11th at midnight AEST. Now you have an entire week to apply to pitch on the renowned Battlefield stage. For anyone who may be a little late to the game, Startup Battlefield is TechCrunch’s startup launch competition. Companies pitch on stage, provide a live demo and then… Read MoreProwler.io nabs $13M for its new approach to decision making in AI
Sep 04, 11:52PM
As we continue to see a wide proliferation of artificial intelligence-based startups come to market, one of the persistent and big questions has been is whether an AI system will ever be able to make decisions as well as a human can. A startup out of Cambridge called Prowler.io is developing a new kind of decision-making platform based on probabilistic modelling, reinforcement learning and… Read MoreIf a Hillary-endorsed media platform is tech's best solution for 'fake news' then we're screwed
Sep 04, 10:44PM
Social media sites have had a pretty interesting year when it comes to approaching filter bubbles and echo chambers and the real world effects that come when they effect something like a national election. Verrit is a fledgling media startup that’s aiming to provide a platform for Hillary supporters to look at infographics with quotes on them about stuff they agree with. Verrit got a… Read MoreAt Burning Man while your startup burns
Sep 04, 9:07PM
There’s a difference between clearing your head, and ditching your dying startup to do drugs in the desert. If your ship is sailing smoothly, a vacation full of solitary introspection and artful inspiration could help you improve your decision-making. But if you’re using time off to escape your responsibilities rather than prepare to fulfill them, you’re endangering your… Read MoreTen years later, 'Sunshine' remains one of the bleakest and most beautiful sci-fi movies ever made
Sep 04, 8:46PM
The first time I saw Sunshine, it was in a room full of men (in my memory, the audience was at least 90 percent male). Afterwards, my friend and I spent an extra 10 minutes on the floor, trying to find his misplaced glasses. Despite the sub-optimal screening conditions, I remember feeling genuinely thrilled by what I’d seen. Sunshine, it seemed to me, was pointing to a promising new… Read MoreTech's 'give back' moment
Sep 04, 7:58PM
We now exist an interesting interstitial moment, one defined by big corporations producing much of the innovation and some of the world’s richest companies – Apple, Amazon, Uber, Facebook – trying to solve big hairy problems. These are the problems that startups would have once solved but because they are so expensive – I’m talking about commercial VR,… Read MoreCryptocurrencies have crashed 20% in two days
Sep 04, 7:08PM
The cryptocurrency correction may have started. After months of unprecedented appreciation, almost every digital currency is seeing double digit losses over the last 48 hours. While a quick glance at the chart above or at coinmarketcap.com shows how bad things have been, you can get a sense of where things are by looking at losses in the two largest currencies: Bitcoin is down 16.5% over the… Read MoreKristoffer Lawson talks about a future where you zoom into work
Sep 04, 7:07PM
Kristoffer Lawson created one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while: Solu, the social computer. His tiny device uses a unique UI and UX to allow you to connect with friends and collaborate using an icon-based OS that lets you zoom in and out of work. Lawson and I spoke about the future of computing and how his ideas – and the ideas of other OS thinkers – will change the… Read MoreBeats brings adaptive noise canceling to its Studio 3 headphones
Sep 04, 6:00PM
Last year’s big Beats announcements revolved around the addition of the W1 chip, the first real collaborative addition to the hardware line since the company was picked up by Apple in 2014. The quick-syncing wireless chip is back for the newly announced Studio 3 over-ear headphones, but active noise canceling is the story the Beats is really looking to tell here. I had the opportunity… Read MoreAt Pear demo day, a who's who of VCs, and plenty of fresh ideas
Sep 04, 5:43PM
Pear, a popular seed-stage venture firm whose early bets include Guardant Health, Memebox, and Branch, hosted its fourth demo day in Woodside, Ca., last Thursday, and though it was a scorchingly hot afternoon at a largely outdoor venue, a veritable who’s who of VCs showed up: Bryan Schreier of Sequoia Capital was there. So was Brian O’Malley of Accel Partners, another frequent guest. Read MoreCan robots help the U.S. get its economic mojo back?
Sep 04, 5:30PM
We only have to look at the top three most competitive countries to understand what’s driving economic growth for their businesses and prosperity for their citizens; the common thread is aggressive adoption of automation. These countries consider robots the fuel that will ignite business growth, enable humans to do more productive and meaningful work, and expand overall economies. Read MoreThis is what diversity is like at trash startup Rubicon
Sep 04, 5:29PM
It’s rare to see a tech company report higher than a ten percent black employee population, but that’s what Atlanta-based Rubicon Global just did. The trash and recycling company, which has raised $220 million in venture funding, touts some above-average representation of black employees, reporting 25 percent of its employee base is black. Rubicon Global does not haul trash… Read MoreWhy you should be at the Disrupt SF Hackathon
Sep 04, 5:00PM
The hackathon at Disrupt SF 2017 is so close we can almost taste it. Soon, thousands of investors, founders and tech enthusiasts will flock to San Francisco’s Pier 48 for the best startup show in the Bay Area. We’re thrilled to announce that the next wave of tickets to the hackathon is available, and you can get your free hackathon ticket here. Read MoreTwitter's new random notifications are awful and I hate them
Sep 04, 4:45PM
About a month ago, Twitter rolled out a new feature that would show you a bunch of random shit in your notifications tab. For example, if a couple of people that you follow liked a tweet, it’d show up in your notifications tab. If someone followed someone else, boom! There it was in your notifications tab. If people you follow start tweeting about the same topic or article… well,… Read MoreHow the Essential Phone won me over completely
Sep 04, 3:49PM
Still, Essential saw something missing in the now very mature smartphone market, and led by Android creator Andy Rubin, set out to address that gap. The Essential Phone (PH-1 by technical model name) is the fruit of that labor, created by what seems like an impossibly small team, that number under 100 and for much of the device’s development, actually numbered far fewer. It’s an… Read MoreHealth startup Qventus partners with Sutter Health with the aim to reduce drug costs
Sep 04, 2:00PM
Hospital logistics aren’t sexy, but they’re necessary to keep the place humming along during emergencies and to reduce errors and other costly issues. Qventus, a startup with a predictive intelligence software platform, is joining up with one of the largest hospital systems in the U.S., Sutter Health, to see if it can expedite Sutter’s pharmacy operations and hopefully save… Read MoreGetAccept raises $1.6M to help companies close sales leads faster
Sep 04, 2:00PM
GetAccept co-founder Mathias Thulin is very familiar with a common problem sales representatives have: they have a great meeting with a potential customer, fire off an email to follow up on that deal and send a thank you note, and then hear nothing back. With all these leads going dark, Thulin and his co-founder Samir Smajic wanted to dig into the data to figure out what was happening. To do… Read MoreGoogle parent Alphabet forms holding company, XXVI, to complete 2015 corporate reorganization
Sep 04, 1:47PM
The company formerly known as Google — before it rebranded its “collection of companies” to Alphabet, in 2015, turning the main ad revenue business into a corporate unit wholly-owned by the parent entity — looks to have finally completed this process of business reorganization by forming a new holding company, called XXVI Holdings Inc.
