Edward Lando is a co-founder of Horizons, the first coding bootcamp for college students.
I am frustrated. By all definitions, I am an entrepreneur. I work for myself, I have no boss, and I make enough money to earn a living — in other words, it’s not a hobby. I’ve been in business for myself for several years, so this isn’t a fly by night operation. I use Quickbooks, pay…

When is a start-up no longer a start-up? We’d suggest it’s when you have locations in six major metropolitan markets, $123,000,000 in seed money raised and a Street valuation of about $800M. Not bad for a real estate/tech hybrid that started in one of it’s co-founders…

What is the Internet of Things? There is no single definition of IOT and everyone you ask will have a different opinion. The best way to understand something is to ask questions. So I decided to interview a handful of IOT companies and ask them what they…
Snapchat wants you to send animated images or short summaries of short videos. If you have to type, you can do so within the borders of your phone screen, once. Two text boxes are not allowed, I think. I am 31 years old so don’t quote me on that. But I did attempt to write…

The Future of Work
How many of us can say, with surety, what jobs we would choose if we were kids today? The pace of technological revolution witnessed in the time I’ve been in work is only a shadow of what we will see over the next 15 to 20 years.

Wonderful article! I’m completely aligned with your description of the problems with startups. The whole unicorn idea creates only a very few “winners” and hundreds of thousands of losers.
