TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 is finally here and we’re back in San Francisco! 📢 If you’re here, come and say hi to our Yatta teammates at booth N27, in the West Hall on the 2nd Floor, or catch us around the conference. With some 10,000 tech innovators, startup founders, VC leaders, and over 250 industry experts, inspiration and opportunity are all around. On our first day of Disrupt, we’re keen to hear Martin Casado of Andreessen Horowitz speak about ‘Why AI Regulation is Every Startup's Business’ and then later what technologist Vinod Khosla reveals as he ‘Looks into the Past to See the Future of AI’. Both talks should be thought-provoking—we’ll report back. 🖋️ #TechCrunchDisrupt2024 #StartupInnovation #AIRegulation #MeetYatta #FutureOfAI

What a blast! 🌞 We had a wonderful summer party at Loft1 in Frankfurt's Osthafen. Family and friends, video and photo booths, 🍦 ice cream and 🎮 games, BBQ and a bouncy castle made this a night to remember—one or two drinks might’ve been involved, too. 🍸 😇 After Johannes’ opening speech, Ramon Vullings gave a keynote on cross-industry innovation. He showed us how to become true ideaDJs 🎧 —and to use human curiosity as a superpower. 💪 Then the Yatta band “42 Hot Sauce” performed, rocking the stage. 🔥 🤗 Thanks everyone for coming! #summerparty #team #familyandfriends #superpower

Given recent developments in the EV-AV field, we've updated our Thoughts on “How Apple could disrupt the automotive industry within a decade”. 🤓 At Tesla’s 2024 Annual Shareholder Meeting, Elon Musk described how autonomous driving could change the company’s business model into “a combination of Airbnb and Uber”. Elon predicts that Tesla owners will be able to opt-in to share their car with the user community in the future so that “it would make money for you while you’re gone”. We predicted something similar for a future Apple Car! 🚘 Read more on Yatta Thoughts 👇 #apple #tesla #autonomousvehicles #selfdrivingcars #automotiveindustry

How does the VC market look right now? And why should we invest properly in AI safety? 🧠 When more than 40,000 people from the tech industry converged in Toronto last week for Collision Conf 2024, these were just some of the questions on their minds. Getting to see sessions with Annie Lamont, Geoffrey Hinton & Vinod Khosla was a real treat for our teammates! We put our takeaways together and would like to share them with you... 👇 #Startups #Investors #AI #Conference #VC

Let's celebrate Collision Conf, one of the world's largest tech conferences! See you in tech powerhouse Toronto... 🚀 Collision 2024 showcases startups and business heavyweights, featuring more than 800 speakers and hosting tens of thousands of attendees. It’s a prime location to get just the right kind of inspiration: whether you're listening in on Google’s strategy and operations leader for research, Maya Kulycky, to learn about building cooperations and strategic partnerships, or getting new inputs from Mike Schroepfer, former Meta CTO, who scaled products for billions, shipped millions of hardware units, and spearheaded AI breakthroughs, e.g. AutoML, the infrastructure that allows engineers to optimize new AI models using existing AI. 🧠 And it’s not every day you can hear Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of AI, speak. Beyond his individual contributions, he put the University of Toronto on the machine learning map! Those are just the things we can plan for—who knows what might come of a spontaneous chat... 💭 👋 Our teammates Frederic, Artur and Benjamin look forward to meeting you at Collision! #Startups #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DigitalTransformation #Tech #Community #Networking
