Read MoreHere are some standouts from 500 Startups' 22nd demo day
Oct 25, 11:49PM
500 Startups is in somewhat of a weird spot, given that Dave McClure resigned as a GP from 500 Startups in July this year after admitting to “multiple” advances toward women and being a “creep.” Since then, there’s been a specter over the firm’s program, especially as it begins its demo day and starts to roll into the following class. That seemed truer… Read MoreMedbit is Zocdoc for Africa

Oct 25, 10:00PM
It’s not possible in the modern world to avoid the mobile platform, and we’ve famously seen the rise of mobile-only startups like Instagram, which for many years didn’t even have a website.
