Cabify plans to overtake Uber using company culture

This interview is part of our series of Growth Stories. We interviewed the founders and CEOs of 20 of the fastest growing startups in Europe. We asked them about their companies, their companies’ culture, and their lives, trying to understand how these three factors played a role in the achievement of such impressive growth. Ride-hailing is, like food delivery, one of the toughest industry to be in. There’s a particularly aggressive competition going on and no clear ruler has emerged yet. Even Uber, that certainly is the most famous company in this sector, is far from monopolistic control. It suffered from…

This GIF-enabled badge solves a problem no one has

Pins Collective, a Swedish company, has just launched Pin One, a badge that lets users display animated images. These GIFs are loaded onto the device from the app, in which you can either download or upload the images in question. The bigger question though is… why? CEO, inventor and founder of Pins Collective, Olof Sjöstedt, quit his day job to start the company. Talking with him, he said that once he “started to think about expressive displays, [he] couldn’t see a world without them.” So, of course, the next logical step was to create a GIF badge. “In my world,…

The problem was highlighted by Tim Ruffing in his presentation ‘A Tale of Zero Coins‘ at the Genesis Conference in London in February. Peter Todd tweeted in the aftermath that while ZCoin could prove that attackers can’t steal coins, but they couldn’t prove that attackers can’t destroy the coins they don’t own.

The Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS is the most expensive phone I’ve ever used (and I love it)

The Huawei P20 Pro is without a doubt the standout phone of 2018 so far. Nothing comes even remotely close — not even the much féted Samsung Galaxy 9. Alongside this premium handset, Huawei released the ultra-extravagant Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS, which starts at €1,695 (roughly $2,091)  and only gets pricier. On the inside, this is largely the same as the aforementioned P20 Pro, but with some gorgeous luxury touches that cements its appeal to the cashed-up few that’ll ultimately buy it. Huawei loaned TNW a review unit for four days, allowing us to road-test (pun absolutely intended) the…
