So finally you are done with the 9-5 job and want to start your own business? Good idea. But hey do you know that 83% of the businesses fail in the first 5 years of the startup. But the question is why? What are the reasons that a startup or an Entrepreneur fail? Is it the surroundings? Or the idea itself.

"Our mission at YC is to enable as much innovation as we can. Mostly this means funding startups. But startups aren't ideal for some kinds of innovation-for example, work that requires a very long time horizon, seeks to answer very open-ended questions, or develops technology that shouldn't be owned by any one company."

For several decades, astronomers and cosmologists have been piling up data that indicates most of the matter in the Universe is dark, interacting only via gravity. As modified theories of gravity failed to account for observation, candidates for dark mater were winnowed down until one remained in favor: the weakly interactive massive particle, or WIMP. Over the past several years, potential signals of WIMPs have appeared in space and on Earth; that, combined with the startup of the LHC, has given the research community the sense that it's close to pinning down the identity of the WIMPs. But a review in this week's Nature considers what might happen if we fail.

"Our long-term goal is to democratize AI. We want to level the playing field for startups to ensure that innovation doesn't get locked up in large companies like Google or Facebook. If you're starting an AI company, we want to help you succeed. Apply here and mention this post in your application."

"The CoLaborator will be set up in an independent building of 800 square meters at the Bayer research campus in Berlin. There will be about 420 square meters of space for laboratories. Attractively designed laboratory and office modules and shared infrastructure such as a conference room offer ideal conditions for nascent companies - at manageable investment costs. A new home will be established for start-ups in life sciences whose ideas, developments and technology platforms are related to Bayer HealthCare's research interests."

"Vicarious is developing machine learning software based on the computational principles of the human brain. Our first technology is a visual perception system that interprets the contents of photographs and videos in a manner similar to humans. Powering this technology is a new computational paradigm we call the Recursive Cortical Network ™"
