Another hardware startup is sparking up in Finland. Helsinki-based startup Solu has taken in a $1.3 million seed round, ahead of a planned product launch this fall. Read More
We’re a day away, people. The TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off in NYC is going down in almost exactly 24 hours, and it simply wouldn’t be complete without you. Ten companies will have exactly sixty seconds to pitch their products to a panel of expert judges, including Foursquare product manager J Crowley and Greycroft partner Alan Patricof, among others. At the end of each pitch,… Read More
In a blog post to customers, secure P2P cloud storage service Wuala just announced that it is to shut down. Read More
It’s 3.30am in the featureless Singularity University meeting room I’m peering into via Skype and I’ve just asked Marita Cheng to take a photo of the buttons on her co-founder, Alberto Rizzoli’s, shirt. It’s definitely one of the stranger requests I’ve made of tech founders, at any time of day, but the pair don’t bat an eyelid — and in half a… Read More
Bringing down the cost of luxury goods through direct-to-consumer sales isn’t a new trend. We’ve seen companies like Warby Parker, Casper and more succeed in the space. But today, a new company is coming out of stealth to bring the D2C value proposition to the world of luggage. Away, founded by Jen Rubio and Stephanie Korey, is looking to bring a high-end portfolio of luggage… Read More
Twitter-owned mobile ad exchange MoPub is releasing some new numbers about the growth of native advertising. Native advertising is a fuzzy term, but it usually refers to ads that have been customized to resemble editorial or user content. MoPub allows publishers to create their own custom native ads, and although it’s been saying that the format is growing, it’s offered scant details. Read More

While other doctor-on-demand startups like Heal have existed for a while, Circle Medical’s goal is to provide a service that can used as a regular part of your life, not just in emergencies or last-minute situations. To achieve this, the startup focuses on… Read More
The U.K.’s MarketInvoice, which plays in the peer-to-peer lending space by enabling businesses to raise money from institutional investors and high net worth individuals by ‘selling’ outstanding invoices, has raised a further £6 million (~$10m) from existing investors Northzone, and the family offices of Paul Forster. It adds to a £5 million round the London-based… Read More
In a recent TechCrunch article I was quoted calling the one-time pad a “unicorn”. Inevitably, I was roundly criticized. But what none of the commenters (or myself) realized, however, was how appropriate the term “unicorn” was. The perfect security of the one-time pad, like a unicorn, is imaginary. Claude Shannon’s seminal proof of the perfect secrecy of… Read More
HappyFunCorp has been living up to its name, according to co-founder Ben Schippers — at least if you associate happiness and fun with profits, growth and acquisitions. Last year, I visited the design and engineering firm’s Brooklyn offices for the final episode of our Built in Brooklyn video series. Since then, Schippers said the company has continued to add new team members, with… Read More
Compass recently published its second report on the global startup ecosystem. The report is the result of more than 200 interviews with entrepreneurs from 25 different countries, 11,000 startup surveys and insight from data partners like CrunchBase, Deloitte and Dealroom, as well as more than 60 local partners. Our CEO, Ray Walia, was also quoted; he summarized Vancouver’s strengths in… Read More
Founding a startup is difficult anywhere in the world, but it’s especially hard in Gaza. Since the war one year ago, Gaza has been nominally peaceful — but the norm is Gaza is not easy: six hours of electricity, and therefore six hours of Internet, a day; a 43 percent unemployment rate, with youth unemployment at 60 percent according to the World Bank; an embargo from Israel… Read More
