Ignoring Junior VCs Is A Mistake
Jun 21, 2:00PM
Many first-time founders underestimate the value of junior VCs, which can be a costly mistake. Investors look for hungry founders because they have the grit to fight through sleepless nights, setbacks and roadblocks. Similarly, founders should be looking for hungry venture capitalists; they will find none hungrier than the junior VC on the team. Read More
Publishing's Kickstarter Moment
Jun 21, 11:08AM
First, some ranting: getting an Indie book reviewed is almost impossible. It took a publisher’s backing to make the The Martian a hit and Hugh Howey had to create his own publisher, Broad Reach to get official attention on the NYT bestseller rankings. In fact, the New York Times Book Review, arguably the only book review that matters these days, doesn’t publish… Read More

More Startup Funding Is Available, But Who's Getting It?
Jun 21, 4:00AM
Last year was fantastic for startup fundraising, continuing an upward trend with a dramatic increase to more than $47 billion (a 62 percent increase from 2013’s figures). On the surface, this is great news — more venture capitalists are pouring more money into startups, thereby increasing the amount of available resources for new ideas. Read More 
The Startup Illusion
Jun 20, 10:00PM
In 2005, Steve Jobs delivered his now-famous Stanford Commencement Speech, wherein he explained that attempting to attend a four-year university had been a poor choice. The school was astronomically expensive and “[he] had no idea what [he] wanted to do with [his] life and no idea how college was going to help [him] figure it out.” Read More 
In Internet Streaming, Goliath Needs David, And David Needs Goliath
Jun 20, 6:00PM
In screenwriter William Goldman’s famous words, “Nobody, nobody — not now, not ever — knows the least goddamn thing about what is or isn’t going to work at the box office.” To some extent, this statement still holds true. Many producers, directors and content creators rely on intuition to determine which television programming will prove successful with… Read More 
Vote Machine Learning For President!
Jun 20, 5:15PM
You have to hand it to American democracy. After many years of political back-and-forth, we have finally reached a consensus: government blows. Government can’t do anything, least of all build an HTML website with a form on it to collect health information. It’s popular these days to trash policy and policymakers, and certainly the politicians who watch over them. In contrast to… Read More

Here Come The Dannies
Jun 20, 1:00PM
Take a quick look, a sneak peek, into our not-so-distant future, courtesy of the great science-fiction writer Peter Watts(1), who writes in Aeon magazine: “You already know that we can run machines with our brainwaves. That’s been old news for almost a decade… But we’ve moved beyond merely thinking orders at machinery. Now we’re using that machinery to wire… Read More 
Snoop Dogg For CEO Of Twitter
Jun 20, 12:00PM
Snoop Dogg should become CEO of Twitter and I’m about to tell you why. But first, leave Dick Costolo, the outgoing CEO, alone. When Dick became CEO, Twitter was valued at about $3 billion (now it’s $26 billion). The site was constantly overloaded with traffic and would crash. Now it doesn’t crash. Twitter had 30 million active users a month and now has over 250 million… Read More 
Experimenting With Virtual Reality, Financial Services Enter The Matrix
Jun 20, 12:00AM
“You take the blue pill –- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -– you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Morpheus and The Matrix introduced virtual reality (VR) to a mass audience, and the technology — once largely the domain of the entertainment industry — is… Read More 
SEC Reg A+ Will Now Let You Crowdfund Equity
Jun 19, 11:49PM
Crowdfunding just got a little bit more interesting. According to SEC Regulation A+, as of today companies can secure funding via crowdfunding provided they are compliant with a set of very specific laws and standards. “These new rules provide an effective, workable path to raising capital that also provides strong investor protections,” said SEC Chair Mary Jo White in a release… Read More 
New Rules Allow Early Adopters to Become Early Investors
Jun 19, 11:30PM
Were you one of the first to identify Uber as a game changer? What about being one of the first to use Amazon or Google in the early days? If you had invested in Uber (now valued at $40B) in 2011, you would currently be sitting on a 600x return. Unfortunately, unless you were already very wealthy, securities laws would have prevented you from being able to invest in the these companies.… Read More 
WikiLeaks Unloads Second Batch Of Sony Files Into Its Database
Jun 19, 9:09PM
It seems like Sony just can’t catch a break. On Thursday, WikiLeaks added 276,394 more private documents, emails and financial files, leaked from the embattled tech and media giant, into its database. The files, which relate mostly to legal and financial documents (among stranger items), are the second massive release of files on the site from last November’s major data breach… Read More 
OneGo Will Offer Unlimited West Coast Flights For $1,500 A Month
Jun 19, 9:00PM
Here’s an unusual pricing plan for air travel — instead of paying for each trip, hand over a $1,500 monthly fee and fly as much as you want. That’s what startup OneGo is promising. Founder Paulius Grigas told me the idea came from his own needs as a business traveler. The service is aimed at small and medium businesses, particularly the ones where team members have to do a… Read More

This Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: E3, Yo!
Jun 19, 7:00PM
The E3 gaming conference was last week. We didn’t actually go, but we watched from afar and soaked up all the latest that the gaming world has to offer. John’s in Poland, but Greg, Matt and Darrell were all thrilled to chat up the new Oculus controllers, the latest games, and the future of VR gaming. I was thrilled to get work done while they chatted. This week’s episode… Read More 
Your Bank Should Be More Like Your Waiter And Less Like Your Landlord
Jun 19, 7:00PM
The financial services industry in America is locked into a business model of exploitation. For far too long, this has gone largely unchecked and unquestioned, even when advances in technology mean it doesn’t have to be so. Read More 
Reg A + Gives Women And Minority Founders Access To Startup Capital
Jun 19, 6:30PM
Reg A+ does not directly solve the ongoing dilemma of access to venture capital dollars for women and minorities. But it does disrupt the investor status quo and provides a much needed alternative to capital for those who need it most. Read More
