Some nice momentum for Barcelona based Red Points which has closed a $12M Series B, led by Northzone. Previous investors Mangrove and Sabadell Venture Capital also participated in the round. Read MoreHey Crypto Valley! Come to the TechCrunch Zug Meetup, January 29th
Jan 09, 10:53AM
I guess it had to happen sooner or later. TechCrunch has decided to get to the bottom of the Crypto and Blockchain boom by heading to one of its main geographical centers. Since welcoming the regulation of Initial Coin Offerings with open arms, Zug, the Swiss Canton just outside of Zurich, has come to be known as “Crypto Valley”. So… that’s where you’ll find a team… Read MoreFrance probes Apple over iPhone planned obsolescence complaint
Jan 09, 9:49AM
French authorities are investigating whether Apple deliberately slows down older iPhones in order to increase sales, AFP reports. Read MoreTechCrunch is back in Berlin January 15th
Jan 09, 9:00AM
We just could not stay away! In December, TechCrunch held Disrupt at the Berlin Arena. We were wowed by the Berlin startup scene and just couldn’t get enough. In fact, Germany’s own Blik became the 2017 runner-up of Startup Battlefield Berlin. Well now we are back, and we want to meet more of your startups. TechCrunch is holding an informal Startup Battlefield meet and greet… Read MoreLibratone's new wireless earbuds automatically adapt their noise cancellation based on the sounds around you
Jan 09, 9:00AM
Libratone has been around for almost ten years, but for the longest time, the company was mostly known for its Bluetooth speakers. With the launch of the Pixel 2, Google chose Libratone as one of its first “Made for Google” headset partners, which gave the company’s headset lineup a bit of a boost. Now, at CES, the company is launching its latest headset,… Read MoreDidi Chuxing declares war on China's bike-sharing startups
Jan 09, 8:52AM
Fresh from its first international expansion following the acquisition of Brazil’s 99 last week, Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing announced another significant move by revealing plans for its own bike-sharing platform. The platform will integrate Ofo — the company that counts Didi as an investor — as well as financially stricken service Bluegogo — which Didi… Read MoreAlkami raises $70 million for mobile banking software
Jan 09, 8:45AM
There’s a startup in Texas that’s been quietly building the technology that powers mobile banking apps. Plano-based Alkami has developed a white label service that credit unions and banks use across digital platforms. And Alkami’s 4.5 million users have generated enough revenue for the company to justify a $70 million Series D round, led by General Atlantic. Existing investors… Read MoreWonderschool gets $2.1M to bring its early childhood programs to New York City
Jan 09, 5:47AM
Wonderschool, a network of in-home daycare and preschools, plans to open 150 programs in New York City after raising $2.1 million in new funding.

Jan 09, 5:24AM
It’s hard to know what to make of ElliQ at first glance. Maybe it’s the face that I just spent a chunk of the night staring into the longing puppy dog eyes of Sony’s new Aibo robot dog. Whatever the case, it’s a strange looking thing — a social robot that mimics human movements, but looks more like a desk lamp than your run-of-the-mill humanoid robot. The… Read MoreSamsung forecasts record fourth-quarter profit, but still misses analysts' expectations

Sony's new Aibo robot just melted the hearts of a room full of jaded tech bloggers
Jan 09, 3:55AM
Sony’s CES press conference was a big ole bag of nothing, even by Sony CES press conference standards. But one little bit toward the end did manage to impress — even managing to elicit an audible “awww” from a room full of jaded tech bloggers eagerly waiting behind a thin rope line. All it took was a pair of adorable, fresh faced robotic dogs —the long awaited… Read MoreWatch Intel's drones play the piano and dance in the air
Jan 09, 3:48AM
Forget drone delivery. Intel made drones play the piano. Using a system very similar to the one used by Lady Gaga in the Super Bowl, drones took center stage at Intel’s CES keynote and played a piano like Tom Hanks did in Big. It was fantastic. The show starts out with band called Algorithm and Blues. Fast forward if you must, but their performance was fun too. You want to see the… Read MoreIntel shows off its new Loihi AI chip and a new 49-qubit quantum chip
Jan 09, 3:45AM

Jan 09, 3:29AM
Attic Labs, the creator of Noms, an open-source decentralized database, announced today that is being acquired by Salesforce. Terms of the deal, Salesforce’s first acquisition of 2018, were undisclosed. Last year, the company only bought digital creative agency Sequence, according to Crunchbase, taking a break from an acquisition spree in 2016 when it snapped up a dozen companies. Read MoreNokia introduces a new sleep sensor that works with IFTTT

It was a… Read MoreLimeBike unveils pedal assist e-bikes
Jan 09, 3:00AM
On the heels of Motivate’s announcement that it’s launching an e-bike pilot program in San Francisco, startup LimeBike is essentially doing the same, but sooner. At CES, LimeBike unveiled its new electric pedal assist bikes, which use electric power to give your pedaling a boost and make riding up hills a breeze. While Motivate is rolling out its e-bikes for the Ford GoBikes system… Read MoreIntel and Mobileye partner with China's SAIC on self-driving
Jan 09, 3:00AM
Intel is making strides with its China business in the automotive and autonomous driving industry, with new partnerships announced today at CES 2018 with Chinese automaker SAIC, and also with the leading navigational map player in China, called Navinfo to integrate and localize REM data.

Jan 09, 3:00AM

Located in soundstage 25 of the MBS Media Campus in Manhattan Beach, Intel’s Immersive… Read MoreGlowforge is making materials that its laser cutters can automatically recognize
Jan 09, 3:00AM
Laser cutting is fun. A lot of fun. You’re putting a thing into a box and firing friggin’ lasers at it to cut or etch whatever your heart desires. It’s a wonderful Venn diagram of science and fire that, if all goes well, ends up with you making something neat. With that said, it can be a bit challenging, particularly when you’re working with a new material for the… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
