Accelerating the global eco system
1711_ 4/20/15 - Seven years ago, Larry interviewed David Cohen and his partner, David Brown. They had a very unique idea, the question in our minds was, would it work? Today we're talking with David Cohen, Founder/Chairman, TechStars and he said, "Well, in 20 years we'll know. We've got 13 more to go. It seems like it's working, but with venture capital you never know." Ah, but we know they're doing fantastic and growing all the time. TechStars has built a great team. David says, "That's one of the things I'm most proud of. We're up to about 70 people now. People, people, people. That's what makes any startup work, and I think that's what makes TechStars work. It's an honor to work with so many amazing people across the world. Today we're running 18 different accelerator programs a year. So the footprint is pretty extensive now, all across America, in Berlin and London... starting to expand internationally. We think there is a lot of opportunity there." TechStars mantra, 'Give first, try to be helpful to everybody!

Mobile devices are starting to talk to each other
1703_ 4/6/15 - We are back with Doyle Albee, president, Metzger Albee PR "...And that brings us to another favorite area to talk about in 2015. And that's being called the 'Internet of Things' ... So we're putting all these different devices on the internet and these devices are not only talking to the internet and talking to me, but they're starting to talk to each other. So not only is that an Internet of Things, but it's also really exciting when we think of all the things we can do and learn. If we could take this data and put it into data sets, what can we learn about cancer, or traffic patterns and how to make that better if we have so much data to look at. So anytime we can get these devices to talk to us, in a secure and appropriate way, without sacrificing privacy that we don't want to sacrifice, it's just an exciting time. We're kind of at that early stage of the internet"...
