Avere Systems

Today, nine-year-old Pittsburgh-based data center storage company Avere Systems announces a new $14 million round of funding, with participation from its existing Silicon Valley venture investors...and from Google.

That's a little unusual, truth be told. Historically, when Google and its affiliated companies want to invest in startups, it's via CapitalG (formerly Google Capital) or GV (formerly Google Ventures), the dedicated venture capital arms of the Alphabet parent company. Читать дальше...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the original and the remake of "Beauty and the Beast."

Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" produced one of the best narcissistic villains in animated movie history — Gaston. During the film's climactic final battle, Gaston stabs the Beast from behind shortly before losing balance and falling off the edge of the castles' cliff side.

And as teams come to increasingly view running backs as interchangeable, teams are less likely to spend big money to keep or sign running backs.

Through the first weeks of free agency, the market has been desolate for running backs. Even with several big-name players available... Читать дальше...

Pinterest expects to make at least $500 million in ad revenue this year, according to Recode's Kurt Wagner.

That number would be a 67% increase from the $300 million in revenue Pinterest reported for 2016. And it would place Pinterest's business growth just behind Snapchat maker Snap Inc., which reported $404 million in revenue in 2016 and is expected by Goodwater Capital to make $1.1 billion in 2017.

Where Pinterest apparently doesn't plan to follow in Snap's footsteps is its plans for an initial public offering. Читать дальше...
