Green Rules The Day at the TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield

TechCrunch Startup Battlefield is an opportunity for early-stage startups to compete against one other on the same stage for a $50,000 prize, as well as media and investor attention. It’s kind of like The Hunger Games, but with more software stuff, and without the awkward executions ...

The ‘Dislike’ Button and the Many Faces of Facebook

It’s the year 2045. The robots are here. They do the chores but they also threaten to indenture the human race, so that sucks. Friends returning from Mars get your carpets all red and dusty. But that’s alright, the robots will take care of it. Not before reminding you of their plans of world ...

Breather Is Trying To Be The Uber Of Office Space

I’m a freelance copywriter, which means I spend an inordinate amount of time working in coffee shops. Usually this isn’t a problem. I pop in my headphones, crank up the tunes, and start dropping words like fat beats (I’ve been waiting to use that phrase all day). With a hefty dose of ...

The League of Our Own: ‘Tinder For Elites’ Dating App Going Strong

In November of 2014, Amanda Bradford launched a “curated” dating app called The League and unlike the current selection of more democratic dating apps, The League only accepts the most interesting and ambitious people.

No-Bullshit Startup Advice from Founders, Part 1: Tim Wootton of Rover

In the world of startups, there is no shortage of people dying to give you advice. To many narcissistic entrepreneurs the open ears of an eager audience are like the sweaty shins of a stranger to a horny dog. Their lofty approach is often as intolerable as their “bold” dress socks and their advice is usually reminiscent of a rambling, conceited professor, or a concussed hockey player spitting clichés between gaps in his teeth during a first intermission interview ...

Linkfire Is Keeping Music Marketers From Going Insane

Video killed the radio star. CD’s killed cassette tapes. MP3’s murdered CD’s. Now streaming music is the big, bad bull in the china shop (yes, that’s a mixed metaphor, but I quite like it). Few things have changed more in the past 15 years than the music industry ...

Hooked App Tries To Rescue Reading In The Snapchat Generation

Is reading fiction slowly dying? If young adult fiction like The Hunger Games and The Divergent Series are any indicator, kids these days still dig fiction (I’m 33, which means I’m allowed to use the phrase “Kids these days”). But there’s no denying that the digital revolution ...
