En Marche! Analyse de la 1ere startup politique accédant au pouvoir

Selon le Larousse, une startup est définie comme étant "une jeune entreprise, innovante, dans le secteur des nouvelles technologies". Remplacez "des nouvelles technologies" par "politique", vous obtiendrez une définition idoine du mouvement français En Marche! d'Emmanuel Macron. Pour comprendre pourquoi En Marche! s'inscrit dans ce courant des jeunes pousses du 21ème siècle, reprenons le cours de son histoire de manière chronologique.

Startups, you must raise this much to join the 1%

Today, we are finding out how much money a startup needs to raise to be counted among the best-capitalized new companies in its home state. Why bother with this?

Une intelligence artificielle pourrait comprendre la langue des dauphins d’ici 2021

Les intelligences artificielles sont déjà capables de comprendre les êtres humains — au risque d’hériter parfois de préjugés racistes ou sexistes. Or, le langage humain est loin d’être le seul champ d’exploration de l’IA pour le futur. Qu’en est-il du langage des animaux ? Pourrait-on imaginer qu’une machine parvienne un jour à les comprendre ? C’est en tout cas le projet porté par une startup suédoise, Gavagai AB, spécialisée dans les technologies d’apprentissage du langage. Elle a notamment développé une forme d’intelligence artificielle capable de traiter "des données linguistiques non structurées en grande quantité". Lire la suite sur Numerama

For Startups, The Arrival Of Amazon’s Echo Show Is A Reminder Of The Risks Of Partnering With A Giant

A couple of months ago, Nucleus cofounder Morley Ivers believed his smart intercom startup was enjoying a “real partnership” with Amazon. Nucleus had received a major investment from Amazon through the Alexa Fund, which helps propel companies that use its voice command services, and Nucleus reciprocated by giving Amazon insights into its hardware development and user behavior. The intercom was even going to be the first non-Amazon device with visualized responses from Alexa. Everything changed for Nucleus on Tuesday, when Amazon announced the Echo Show, a $230 smart-home device with a touchscreen, premium speakers, and a front-facing camera.

Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Alphabet, the parent company of Google, are not just the largest technology companies in the world. As I’ve argued repeatedly in my column, they are also becoming the most powerful companies of any kind, essentially inescapable for any consumer or business that wants to participate in the modern world. But which of the Frightful Five is most unavoidable? Lire la suite sur The New York Times

Why CEOs Should Share Their Anxiety About the Future

"Transparent management” is a term used to describe an approach to business leadership that entails being honest and open with team members. In my experience, it is discussed more than it is practiced. But I recently had a conversation on this topic with a founding CEO whom I respect. My friend’s company has had its ups and downs—and, like most startups I know, the management team has had to share bad news with employees at times. The CEO told me that her approach was to let her team in on her anxiety. Lire la suite sur le Wall Street Journal
