879: Google Docs Creator Finds New Startup Success With Scalyr
Steve Newman is the Founder and Chairman of Scalyr. Steve learned to program at the age of eight and is a lifelong engineer and entrepreneur. Scalyr is the sixth company he has founded. His most recent company prior to Scalyr, Writely, was acquired by Google and turned into Google Docs and Google Drive, two mainstay products now used by 800 million people daily.
After four successful years at Google, he left the company to create Scalyr and tackle a problem that even the best minds at Google couldn't figure out how to solve. Scalyr is the unified observability & log management platform designed for modern application development & deployment.
Scalyr offers a cloud-based platform for high-speed log management and server monitoring. Founded by one of the creators of Google Docs, Scalyr brings the speed and ease of use normally found in consumer apps to an incredibly powerful server monitoring tool. 96% of all queries complete in under a second, and there's no need to learn a complex query language. Notable customers include OkCupid, Zalando, Grab, CareerBuilder and Wistia.
Steve Newman shares his path to success -- from getting acquired by Google to life after the tech giant. He also speaks passionately about his empathetic approach to leadership and innovation, including when he knew it was time to bring in a new CEO (former CISCO president). It's an issue technical founders grapple with all the time, but few talk openly about.

632-how-hurdl-pixl-led-wearables-are
Global brands recognize that live events are filled with potential customers, but often their approach to engagement involves techniques fraught with data and privacy concerns; facial recognition and biometric screening being two especially hot topics.
Direct-to-consumer marketing startup Hurdl has found a solution to this problem, using LED wearables to provide an opt-in experience with off-the-charts 1:1 engagement results. Hurdl is able to gather audience data by giving fans an LED wristband upon entering a venue, which attendees can choose to activate via SMS. On average, 67% of the audience will activate and 95% of those who do so will answer up to 5 survey questions.
In return they receive special offers, merch deals, and more as determined by the organizer, while their LED wristband allows them to be part of the light show at the event.
I invited Betsy McHugh, the Founder and CEO of Hurdl Enterprises back onto the show to learn how she is pioneering the de-anonymization of persons in event venues with a new kind of entertainment experience.
We also talk about how this wearable technology is bridging the gap between artist and audience while being both accessible and affordable.

401-why-nostalgia-iconic-food-is-the
I recently came across some mouth-watering pics on the internet that would give anyone a severe case of the munchies. But I quickly noticed many of the best photos on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter were from a company called Goldbely who call themselves a curated e-commerce food marketplace.
Goldbely finds America’s most unique, creative, and legendary foods from across the country, and ships them to your front door. It’s one of those moments where you see a video or picture of your friend eating something delicious, and you want to try it, except – you’re not in the same city as them. Goldbely solves this and creates a new revenue stream for small and local food shops.
For the first time, people are now able to connect with the foods they remember from childhood/their hometowns, give the gift of nostalgia, or experience the latest viral sensations or most popular food trends. Goldbely’s model is continuing to disrupt the supply chain and empower small shops to reach new audiences. By taking once obscure and artisanal products and making them available to everyone, Goldbely is uniquely positioned within the space, as it is among the first to offer regional/iconic food heroes with a new revenue stream.
After hearing how Goldbely also raised a $10M Series A to ship food from America’s most popular restaurants, I invited Joe Ariel, CEO, and CoFounder of Goldbely on to the show. We talk about the technology behind scaling local cuisine experiences to a national audience.

2069-the-gen-z-insights-startup
Gen Z is transforming the way we consume. With a keen eye toward sustainability, they are influencing older generations to prioritize sustainability in their purchasing decisions.
Raahish Kalara, CTO of Knit, joins me on Tech Talks Daily. The consumer insights startup appeared on my radar after learning it provides market data for Gen Z audiences and works with NASCAR, the Minnesota Twins, the San Antonio Spurs, and JBL Speakers, to name a few brands. Using the Knit platform, brands can upload questions and get 30-90 second "selfie" video responses from hundreds of Gen Z consumers in as quickly as a few hours. With their video analysis AI, brands can analyze hours of video feedback in minutes, helping larger brands rapidly learn more about what Gen Z audiences want. We discuss the three key 'takeaways' brands should keep in mind when looking to attract the attention of Gen Z'ers and what Gen Z data tell us about building thriving communities online.

958-aries-wang-co-founder-of-bibox
On today's tech podcast, Aries Wang, Co-Founder of Bibox sits down with me to talk about the digital asset exchange based on AI technology.
The top ten cryptocurrency exchange platform, Bibox, has officially launched in Europe with fiat-to-crypto currency trading of the Euro (EUR) with Bitcoin and Ethereum now open. But I wanted to dig a little bit deeper and learn more about the story behind the launch.
Looming economic uncertainty means that European citizens are increasingly looking for alternative investment opportunities and BiboxEurope appears to be meeting this challenge by offering access to new economic possibilities for retail and institutional investors looking to build their own digital asset portfolio.
Aries discusses why Europe's concise regulatory and legal framework for cryptocurrencies makes it a hotbed of development. We also discuss how the future of cryptocurrency trading and A.I will become inextricably linked as well as his experience as a partner for Blockwater Capital, a leading digital asset fund.
About Aries Wang
A serial crypto entrepreneur and seasoned investor in Blockchain, Aries (Wanlin) Wang is always on a fast-paced upswing. Within a year of co-founding Bibox digital asset exchange, Wang has led the team to bring the exchange to a top ten position on CoinMarketCap and the exchange now has become a staple of the crypto world.
In ten months, Bibox reached a stable daily trading volume of about US$200 million. With its delicate selection of tokens, the current valuation of the company is at an astounding US$50 million.
While developing Bibox exchange, Wang joined BlockWater Capital and went on investing in top-tier projects. BlockWater Capital is one of the largest blockchain funds in South Korea and Aries Wang is the only partner from outside of South Korea.
With the strong belief that the current disruption of crypto-economics and blockchain is only the beginning, BlockWater Capital developed a diversified high-quality portfolio, and was an early investor in Fusion (fusion.org) and Fantom (fantom.foundation).

2505-navigating-a-future-of-ai-driven
I sit down with Ranjit Bahia, the CEO of Cyferd, a next-generation digital transformation startup that is redefining how businesses approach low-code development and unified data processes in the cloud. This eye-opening conversation dives into the intricacies of AI-driven digital transformation and the far-reaching implications it has on the future of work, governmental policy, and the business landscape at large.
The episode begins with an engaging exploration of Cyferd's unique cloud-based data platform. Ranjit shares how their platform leverages artificial intelligence to streamline application development and unify disparate systems, setting the stage for more agile and efficient businesses. We delve into how this paradigm is especially vital in sectors like healthcare, where inefficiency can be costly both financially and in human terms.
As the conversation progresses, they discuss the transformative potential of AI. We address the common fears surrounding AI, demystifying the notion that AI will replace human workers. Instead, they emphasize the idea that AI can work alongside humans to enhance efficiency and reduce risks, serving as a tool for empowerment rather than replacement.
A particularly thought-provoking segment of the episode centers on the regulatory challenges of AI, especially within the United Kingdom. Ranjit offers a critical look at the lack of governmental support for fostering AI innovation and what it will take for the UK to become an AI superpower in the global landscape.
Toward the end of the episode, the focus shifts to practical applications of AI, featuring Cyferd's own product, Neural Genesis. This solution exemplifies how digital transformation can be achieved by leveraging AI and machine learning technologies for enhanced efficiency and growth.
This episode is a must-listen for those looking to understand the complex yet rewarding landscape of AI and digital transformation. Ranjit Bahia not only brings a wealth of experience but also a passionate viewpoint on how businesses, irrespective of size, can harness the transformative power of AI to pave the way for a more efficient and innovative future.
