We covered Databeat last week & here are a couple of interesting talks we filmed.
The balance of keeping data both flowing & protected. Mobile devices have become the ultimate data collecting equipment. What are the right ways to leverage this & create profitable data platforms with a sustainable user contract? What impact does the more holistic approach of gathering data about not only things but the processes between which things play? What does this demand of regulations & approaches? Opportunities in data as currency, as authentication token or even ways to refine governance, as well as its risks this explosive material can represent.

Jalak Jobanputra, Future Perfect Ventures: Women Startups and Venture Capitalists
I interviewed Jalak Jobanputra this week regarding women startups. Jalak has over 16 years experience in venture capital, media and technology, most recently with the NYC Investment Fund. She spearheaded the formation of NYCSeed in 2008, a seed fund dedicated to funding early stage tech entrepreneurs in NYC. She was previously a principal at New Venture Partners, a $300 million early stage venture fund that incubated technology at corporate labs. Prior to that, she was at Intel Capital in Silicon Valley and was on the launch team of online financial information startup Horsesmouth in 1997, during which time she first discovered the NYC sample sale scene in Nolita. You can find her on Twitter and her blog NothingVentured.
