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.

Using a framework called
Secure Dev Ops
1710_ 4/20/15 - Going back a number of years when we heard about security threats, few understood the consequence, many thought it was just a sales pitch… But we've all learned it's much more - Effective security is a life saver. Applied Trust solves hard IT problems and they do that using a framework called 'Secure Dev Ops'. At the highest level Secure Dev Ops is at least two things. The unification of development and operations. Those two parts of a traditional IT organization - we add the third leg, security. Often times we say security has been the pariah of IT, tucked off in a corner in its own little department - and maybe a little bit of conflict between the rest of the business. The reality is we are in a space where we have to bring those together in an extraordinarily integrated way. Today we can apply the dev ops principles to any business, no matter what size - if they use software this helps - and is relevant from the startup to the SMB to the enterprise... Listen for more...

We've snatched Gary Seaber, CEO/Founder of IT Liquidators for a little chat. We asked Gary to tell our listeners about IT Liquidators. "We've been in business for 12 years this June. We buy excess technology from companies that are in transition. So as they upgrade to new equipment or downsize, whether they merge or consolidate. We're actually interested in buying from companies, their older technology. We bring that older equipment into our refurbishment center in Denver, upgrade and resell it online. We want to help companies create a sustainable model of reuse instead of just sending it to a recycler who charges you 35-cents a pound to take it away, I want to pay them for their remarket-able equipment. We also insure that any data left on that equipment is wiped to DOD standards, and...
