The Next Big Opportunity for Tech Entrepreneurs? 'Smart' Homes

The role of technology in the home has changed drastically in recent years. We've come a long way from the kitchen wall phone and desktop computer, in an era when smartphones, tablets and wearables dominate the scene. The newest wave comes from the internet of things (IoT), and today's offerings are raising the bar on what makes a device "smart." Increasingly, "smart" means safe, in terms of security and health. Joe Colistra, architect at the Center for Design Research at the University of Kansas, was  recently profiled  in  The Atlantic  on his vision for a smart home that safeguards occupants' well-being. Such updates include motion-sensing walls and force-detecting floors that notice walking problems in senior citizens. Another update: "smart toilets" that analyze biochemistry and report to doctors on the user's health. With technology redefining home life in these ways, now seems like a ripe time for entrepreneurs to get in on...

The People, Products and Brands We've Lost This Year

It’s pretty early in the year and we’re already saying goodbye. At the end of 2016, Twitter announced it was shutting down its video service Vine -- devastating thousands with the news. YouTube personality and filmmaker Casey Neistat closed the gates of his social video app Beme too when he sold it to CNN in the fall of 2016. On top of companies making their exits, we’ve seen some of our favorite and most inspirational leaders pass away. The Queen of Carbon, Mildred Dresselhaus, died in February this year, as well as iconic actress Mary Tyler Moore. Here are some of the people, products and brands we’ve lost this year.

Beyond Brand Building: When You Are Your Brand

We are seeing a shift in what it means to be a brand and how to build your brand. From about 2007 or 2008 -- alongside the rise of social media as a mainstream technology -- we cultivated a mindset around building our  personal brands  (where the winners were the ones shouting the loudest). This in turn led us to reimagine business brands where the focus was on humanizing those brands. Brands evolved beyond the words and visuals to describe them and manifested more as “what we do, is our brand.” In recent times, this evolution has continued as brand building has focused on greater authenticity, transparency and empathy. This evolution has been  inspired  by consumers who have become more demanding of the businesses that supply them of products and services. Gone are the days where branding was considered a marketing activity purely for the benefit of the company doing it. Not sharing your why? It’s time to start. Today  branding  is about being ...

How Fiverr's Culture Created a Company of CEOs

Editor’s Note: In the new podcast  Masters of Scale , LinkedIn co-founder and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman explores his philosophy on how to scale a business -- and at Entrepreneur.com, entrepreneurs are responding with their own ideas and experiences on our  hub . This week, we’re discussing Hoffman’s theory: the smartest companies don't tell their employees how to innovate, they manage the chaos. Listen to this week's episode  here .  Just like how an ecosystem impacts the life that develops in it, culture impacts how a company grows. It becomes the lens everything within the company is seen through. When we think of consistently  successful companies , a “cultural commitment” is often referenced as one reason for their ongoing success. When a  company struggles , a "broken culture” too often becomes the key culprit for organizational failures. Culture impacts who you choose to hire and how you choose to utilize those team members. Simply put, cultur...
