But in 2013, Rundell started working for a powerful client: Eric Schmidt, a longtime former Google CEO who was then the tech giant’s executive chair. Init

After Thursday night’s presidential debate, the prospects of another Donald Trump administration seem, well…inevitable. (Don’t shoot the messenger!) For tech folks, that heralds a friendlier regulatory regime toward crypto for sure and probably also toward tech M&A, given the freeze imposed on even the tiniest of deals by President Joe Biden’s antitrust crew. Indeed, the business-friendly impact of the first Trump administration can be seen in Supreme Court rulings on... Read more ›

A year ago, Character.AI had the wind at its back. Founded by two artificial intelligence pioneers from Google, the startup had launched AI chatbots that offered what its far larger rivals hadn’t yet provided: something fun. Millions of people had signed up for its website and apps, intrigued by the chance to text with facsimiles of anime characters, TV personalities and historical figures in hyper-realistic roleplay. Executives discussed raising additional... Read more ›

While the expected move will help Amazon offer prices that are more competitive with its ascendant rivals, it’s also likely to thrust Amazon into the center of heated political debate around...

I’m at VidCon, where the Anaheim Convention Center is bustling and the mood is upbeat, even though it feels like brands and social apps shelled out less money for splashy pop up experiences and lounges than in the past.

Early last year, venture capitalist Tom Loverro offered a grim prediction. He wrote that a mass extinction event was coming for startups that would make the 2008 financial crisis “look quaint.” At the time, he told companies to reduce expenses through layoffs and focus on survival rather than keeping their valuations high.
