Peer-to-Peer car sharing service, Getaround, is making waves in the crowded sharing economy market, signing up over 10,000 cars in the last year. Before Getaround raised $13.9 million from VCs, such as Shervin Pishevar and Marissa Mayer, the startup was shot to Silicon Valley fame after winning TechCrunch Disrupt’s battlefield competition in 2011. Within 24 hours of winning the competition, Getaround saw an impressive 1,600 new users offering up their cars to rent the service, and we chatted with co-founder, Jessica Scorpio, to see how life on the fast-track has been since Disrupt (the transcript has been edited for brevity and clarity) TechCrunch: Take us through some of the highlights between Disrupt and now?

Virtual reality filmmaking is in its infancy, but for Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman, there are already too many rules. The press release for Invisible, a five-episode action series that officially premieres today, lists a whole string of guidelines it’s disregarded: don’t cut too much, don’t move the camera, place shots at a natural height for the viewer. For a VR series, Invisible is downright frenetic, complete with chase sequences, shots-within-shots, and frequent shifts in location, from a Haitian village to a Brooklyn restaurant. Invisible follows a rich family called the Ashlands, some of whom have the titular power of invisibility. When the Ashland patriarch dies mysteriously, his granddaughter Tatiana (The Night Of’s Sofia Black-D’elia) must uncover the plot behind his murder, while taking over his company herself.

This story is part of Road Trip 2019, profiles of the troublemakers and trailblazers who are designing our future. Craig Newmark is a man of quiet contradiction. Wrapped in a sweater the color of hot chocolate, the 66-year-old founder of Craigslist is painfully self-effacing, yet he started a wildly successful online marketplace emblazoned with his name. He deemphasizes his personal wealth, yet knows exactly how much he donated to his philanthropies last year (over $100 million). He speaks in vague terms about political "bad actors," yet specifically insists that a trustworthy press is "a matter of national security.""I'm a dull and uninteresting kind of guy," Newmark says from the wood-toned living room of his San Francisco home. He is anything but.You might expect Newmark to thump his chest about building the world's largest site for online classified ads from thin air. Or let slip his net worth, once estimated to be at least $1.3 billion. The privately owned Craigslist, is, … [Read more...] about Nerdy Craigslist founder wants to change the world — starting with your news

Although the game is set within Life is Strange’s world, Captain Spirit will be a self-contained story.
