Apr 29, 5:11PM
A few months ago, Marceau Michel met up with a fellow entrepreneur, Kathryn Brown of ScoutSavvy, to discuss their triumphs and tribulations of their time in the tech industry. That’s when the two discovered they were running into the same issue: lack of funding. Unfortunately, Michel, an African-American founder, is not alone. Just one percent […]

Sprint and T-Mobile, after years of going back and forth as to whether they are going to tie up two of the largest telecom providers in the U.S., have announced that the two companies have entered a merger agreement this morning.

Disney’s latest alarmingly star-packed Avengers entry is going to set another box-office record for its opening weekend, eclipsing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, according to Variety.

Giving up on 'diversity and inclusion'
Apr 29, 1:00PM
I went to see Arlan Hamilton of Backstage Capital speak this week. Her remarkable story is pretty well known by now — she “built a venture capital fund from the ground up, while homeless,” to quote Backstage’s site. She said several interesting things, but let’s start with this one: as of 2019, she will no […]
Is the world ready for the return of the PDA?
Apr 28, 7:47PM
I want to live in the Gemini's universe. It's one where the promise of on-demand hardware has been fulfilled. Where crowfunding, rapid prototyping, scalable manufacturing all of those good things have improved our lives by giving us the devices we both want and need. It's the utopian dream of 2011, fully realized. In the Gemini […]
Original Content podcast: 'The Handmaid's Tale' is even more intense in season two
Apr 28, 7:00PM
While streaming and bingeing seem increasingly synonymous, Hulu’s biggest hit The Handmaid’s Tale actually feels like an anti-binge. Some of that is just Hulu’s release strategy, where it doesn’t release an entire season at once, but instead comes out of the gate with a handful of new episodes (two this week for the launch of […]
Investing in frontier technology is (and isn't) cleantech all over again

>From dorm room to Starbucks, Rip Van Wafels is bringing Euro-inspired snack to the masses
Apr 28, 6:47PM
Rip Pruisken waffled in college (we got that pun safely out of the way for now). He was a student in the Ivy League at Brown University, and had focused on academics for much of his life. His parents were physicists, and "I thought I would study some sort of cookie-cutter path of studying something […]
Solving the affordability crisis one Chattanooga at a time
Apr 28, 5:36PM
We all know the success of America's leading startup hubs, cities like San Francisco, New York City, Boston and several others. Entrepreneurial talent, risk-seeking venture dollars, and dense human networks form an alchemy leading to wealth, jobs, and growth. The main streets and malls of the Midwest may be devastated, but you would never know […]

Emissary wants to make sales networking obsolete
Apr 28, 4:07PM
There is nothing meritocratic about sales. A startup may have the best product, the best vision, and the most compelling presentation, only to discover that their sales team is talking to the wrong decision-maker or not making the right kind of small talk. Unfortunately, that critical information — that network intelligence — isn't written down […]
Facebook's dark ads problem is systemic
Apr 28, 4:00PM
Facebook’s admission to the UK parliament this week that it had unearthed unquantified thousands of dark fake ads after investigating fakes bearing the face and name of well-known consumer advice personality, Martin Lewis, underscores the massive challenge for its platform on this front. Lewis is suing the company for defamation over its failure to stop bogus […]
This year's Tribeca Film Festival uses AR and VR to explore music-making and empathy
Apr 28, 3:52PM
Visiting the Immersive arcade at the Tribeca Film Festival is always challenging. Every year, there are way more virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to try out (not to mention creators to interview) than I can squeeze into just a couple of hours. This year, as always, I was only able to check out a […]

Apr 28, 4:20AM

Apr 27, 10:06PM
Apple has long been rumored to be working on a pair of augmented reality glasses, but a report today suggests that they’re looking to compete with Google, Microsoft and Facebook in the virtual reality space as well. CNET reports that Apple has its eye set on the 2020 release of a wireless headset that combines […]
Facebook shrinks fake news after warnings backfire
Apr 27, 10:04PM
Tell someone not to do something and sometimes they just want to do it more. That’s what happened when Facebook put red flags on debunked fake news. Users who wanted to believe the false stories had their fevers ignited and they actually shared the hoaxes more. That led Facebook to ditch the incendiary red flags in […]

Apr 27, 10:02PM
As more details emerge about the arrest of the man suspected to be the Golden State Killer, it’s clear that one of the most infamous unsolved cases of all time was cracked using a popular free online genealogy database. The site, known as GEDmatch, is a popular resource for people who have obtained their own […]
