KillerStartups’ Mission is to help entrepreneurs achieve the next big thing. Our role is to connect you with founders you can help, and founders who can help you!
When we featured Uber in 2010, Founder Travis Kalanick might have still been your driver.
Uber raised their first $1.6MM three months after we featured them. $4.9B later, we are still proud to have discovered them.

30-Second News Picks
Feds Expand Tesla Investigation to Car Range - TechCrunch
Our 30-Second Summary:
As revealed in an official U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Tesla is again under scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ has issued subpoenas to Tesla, seeking information about various aspects of the company, including the accuracy of its electric vehicle (EV) range claims, personnel decisions, and personal benefits provided to CEO Elon Musk. This investigation into vehicle range exaggerations follows a Reuters report that exposed such overestimations and attributed the use of algorithms to enhance these figures to Musk.
Furthermore, the DOJ has shown interest in perks extended to Musk dating back to 2017, encompassing the construction of a glass house using company funds and investigating transactions between Tesla and Musk-associated entities.

Our 30-Second Summary:
Google Bard, the conversational AI chatbot, has faced a series of challenges since its March 2023 debut, including poor reviews and an issue where shared conversations appeared in Google Search results, which was later resolved. However, the latest controversy surrounds Bard's reluctance to respond to user queries concerning the ongoing crisis in Israel and Palestine, including the October 7 Hamas terror attacks and Israel's military response. It seems Bard refrains from answering any questions related to Israel or Palestine, even those unrelated to current events, like asking about the location of Israel.🚀 Submit Your Startup to Get Featured and More! - SUBMIT YOUR STARTUP

The problem with working on startups is that it literally changes your brain & you can never see the world in the same way again. You have less patience for bureaucracy, institutions, process, the status quo & incremental improvements.
