During its history, Red Herring has gone from being an iconic paper, read throughout the world, to a vestige of a bygone era, and now attempts to supplement other forms of editorial content with its unique global point of view on technology. But the story features the same actors, entrepreneurs, disruptors, naysayers, established incumbents, money-makers, losers, venture capitalists and idealists. In this issue, you will read about all of the above. We put the spotlight on people who are changing the mobile environment, revolutionizing the enterprise world with better security, storage, We put the spotlight cloud, analytics and data, or just embracing social causes with a new approach.

By 2015 we will have social causes exceeded the magic 1.0 ratio of subscriber per human on this planet. with a new approach.

Recovery has been slow or non-existent in some countries and conditions for THE MOST PROMISING AND INNOVATIVE entrepreneurism could barely be tougher. That’s why this year’s IRed Herring 2013 Top 100 Europe winners fully deserve all the TECHNOLOGY STARTUPS IN 2013 plaudits coming their way. In times of recession and austerity, cash can be hard to come by and great ideas can be squandered as funding becomes sparse. But these 100 companies made it anyway. What Europe lacks in funding, it more than makes up for in talent. The whole continent is awash with great minds and universities such as those in Dublin, Paris Delft and many others act as conveyor belts for exciting new entrepreneurs, ready to take the market by storm. As the U.S. frets over the possibility of another tech bubble, those in Europe know that, because of the debt crisis and looming deflation problem, only the best of the best will make it. And the cream of that crop is displayed in the winners this year. But there is hope for the 28 members of the European Union. November forecasts by the European Commission suggest that although GDP across the EU will stagnate this year, it will expand by 1.4% in 2014. There is also expected to be signs of recovery in the 17 countries tied to the Euro. The European Commission estimated a 1.1% increase in GDP in 2014, after a 0.4% dip this year. With a vague hint of hope on the horizon, entrepreneurs in Europe can go into the New Year with even more confidence, that their products, services and technology will be even more successful in a recovering economy. Many of the Top 100 companies work in essential markets where brilliant new innovations cannot fail, such as biosciences. Others concentrate on making business easier, through financial, payment and funding assistance. Yet more attack a new wave of industries such as the internet of things. The Red Herring 2013 Top 100 Europe winners are a standout group of companies, and share not just talent, innovation and huge potential, but also a steely reserve built up from the testing surroundings in which they have prospered.

  • Snapshot of Progress 2012-2013
    SNAPSHOT OF PROGRESS 2012-2013 1101 New York Avenue NW, #620 Washington, cDC,urem 20009elanoma.org It’s been a year of exciting collaborations that connect multiple research programs with critical investments. The Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA), a unique foundation launched by Debra and Leon Black under the auspices of the Milken Institute, works to accelerate scientific discovery to eliminate death and suffering due to melanoma. Over the past year, MRA has worked tirelessly to achieve this goal, aided by scientific researchers, funders, corporate and non- profit allies, and volunteers. To date, MRA has awarded more than $49 million in funding to 118 innovative, translational research programs led by 171 Principal Investigators at 80 institutions in 14 countries. In August 2013, MRA released its latest Request for Proposals with plans to award at least $8 million (in the spring of 2014) including its first regional special opportunity. A key component of MRA’s unique research program emphasizes collaboration within and across sectors. The melanoma landscape is evolving quickly, and the foundation has been laid for new, more successful approaches to treat this deadly cancer. As a result, there is unprecedented opportunity for transformational progress on behalf of patients, and all who are at risk, with more than 100 new melanoma compounds in the pipeline and nearly 300 clinical trials underway. MRA also runs multiple awareness campaigns to promote sun safety and encourage early melanoma detection. The work of our allies plays a key role in new prevention and early detection efforts, amplifying our message. With all of these diverse stakeholders committed to fighting melanoma on multiple fronts, we are optimistic that the day when no one will suffer or die from melanoma is within reach.

  • Through Afterschool Development
    CREATING COMMUNITIES THROUGH AFTERSCHOOL DEVELOPMENT 2016 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION The All Stars Project transforms the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults. OUR VISION By 2020, the All Stars Project will be recognized as America’s action and thought leader in Afterschool Development, a new way of engaging poverty. OUR VALUES Integrity and trust Partnership with the poor Building community Radically inclusive Imagining possibility Improving the world Dear Friends, At a moment when people across the country and the world are working to overcome deep divisions, I am so proud to be joining with people of all ages and from all walks of life to grow a national development community filled with possibility and hope. The All Stars began working in poor neighborhoods 36 years ago, and we never left — we continue to stand on street corners, knock on doors in housing projects and walk the halls of struggling schools to offer thousands of young people and families an opportunity to be part of creating something new in their lives. Across America, All Stars' mission and vision are being championed and shaped by forward-looking and committed partners who are passionate about opening up pathways of opportunity for inner- city youth. Privately funded from the start, last year the All Stars Project raised over $9.7 million from more than 3,500 donors who are dedicated to partnering with youth and finding new ways to strengthen our American community. With this support, we have launched a campaign to establish our third Center for Afterschool Development — this one in Chicago’s downtown Loop.

  • Alumni Career Paths
    ABs to CVs: Government Alumni Career Paths Academia Business Education Government Jack of All Trades Law Media Medicine Military Academia Dara L. Sosulski, ‘03: I had always harbored substantially wide-ranging academic interests, so when I arrived at Harvard, I was unsure about which concentration to choose—I had serious interests in political philosophy, biology, literature, and writing. Ultimately, I decided to pursue a degree in Government, because the concentration gave me the opportunity to study all of the aforementioned—some within the confines of my concentration requirements, and some within the generous time the government concentration allows for elective courses. I am now a Ph.D candidate in the department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia University, doing my thesis research in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Richard Axel, MD. My studies in government gave me a solid footing in the analytical reading and clear, direct writing skills critical for a successful career in science, and I will always be grateful to the government program for giving me the opportunity to sample many courses from other departments as well. Alex Kuo, ’01: After graduation I worked for one year as a Junior Fellow for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, DC. During my time in DC I decided to apply to doctoral programs in political science. I am currently working towards a PhD at Stanford University, researching and writing my dissertation. I enjoyed being a Government concentrator, and through classes and friendships I became exposed to a wide variety of possible career and job choices. Ragan Buckley, ’00: I am following a career path that’s probably not very typical for a Government graduate – I’m working on my Ph.D.

  • November 14, 2017 the Honorable Orrin Hatch Chairman Senate
    November 14, 2017 The Honorable Orrin Hatch Chairman Senate Finance Committee 104 Hart Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Hatch: We are a group of startups, investors, and innovators deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the taxation of non-qualified deferred compensation plans in Section III(H)(1) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This shift would have profound negative consequences for technology start-ups by, among other things, undermining their ability to compete with large incumbents for employees. Section III(H)(1) would require both tax assessment and payment on stock options and other stock-based incentive compensation upon vesting instead of exercise, distribution, or any other liquidity event. The current law, embodied in Section 409A of the Tax Code, enshrines the common-sense notion that employees should pay taxes on income that they actually receive. By making the mere vesting of a stock option a taxable event, an employee would have to pay a tax based upon a hypothetical gain that could take years to become liquid and may never materialize into cash. This would transform stock-based incentive programs from benefits to liabilities overnight and would effectively bar startups from offering this form of compensation. We cannot overemphasize how essential stock-based compensation is to a startup’s ability to recruit and retain talent. Startups do not have the ability to compete with larger firms based upon cash compensation. A startup’s ability to issue stock options levels the playing field by giving potential employees something unique: the ability to share in the company’s rewards as well as its risks and participate in the upside of a new and exciting venture.
