Cloudflare

I joined Cloudflare in 2018, just in time to participate in its IPO process — a surreal experience that included researching and drafting several pages of Cloudflare s S-1, namely the customer case studies. (To be clear: I was writing about amazing work that other people on the team had been doing for many years before [ ] The post Cloudflare appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

Alfredo

Lyrics need a little work, but I m all about the guitars toward the end. The post Alfredo appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

Millennial.Website

I first created Millennial.Website on the eve of the 2016 election as a last-ditch GOTV effort, in the wake of the Comey Letter. No dice. Today well — perhaps it s best you look for yourself. The post Millennial.Website appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

Deciding Our f8

It feels in poor taste to criticize Mark Zuckerberg at this critical juncture. The man just stood before the world and painted a path forward, a way out, from this quagmire of chaos. By way of shouldering this burden, he has finally reckoned with his role in creating it. And crucially, he has given us [ ] The post Deciding Our f8 appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

OMG/JK

A tech-focused talk show I co-hosted with MG Siegler. MG is the eloquent and sharp Apple fanboy who has gone on to become a General Partner at GV (the firm formerly known as Google Ventures; maybe we should keep calling it that). Back to The post OMG/JK appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

TC Cribs

I was the host and co-creator of this series of startup office tours, featuring endearingly awkward geeks, ridiculous amenities, and great art. Emphasis on awkward; the following episode was recently recognized by Reddit’s taste-making community Cringe for “having it all”. Back to The post TC Cribs appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

Google Voice

Long ago, when the App Store was young, Apple did something crazy: it blocked a sexy new Google app. This was truly balls-out nuts because Apple and Google were BFF — eighteen months earlier, Steve Jobs had invited Google s CEO Eric Schmidt on stage to help launch the iPhone. And then Google launched Android, and [ ] The post Google Voice appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

Silicon Valley

I had the incredible experience of playing myself on HBO s Silicon Valley, as the emcee of TechCrunch Disrupt s Startup Battlefield. Here s what I said when TechCrunch asked me about the experience: It was totally surreal, like some kind of drug trip that gave me déjà vu every five minutes. They had the real Disrupt signs, [ ] The post Silicon Valley appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

TechCrunch

I fell into a job writing for TechCrunch at the tender age of 22. TechCrunch was a startup writing about startups. We worked out of the boss s house. It was nuts. It was grueling. It was great. I joined just as Apple s App Store launched and changed everything. Except it took years to change everything. [ ] The post TechCrunch appeared first on Jason Kincaid .

Sex, Bugs, and Evernote

For years I ve compulsively collected the ridiculous thoughts that flutter through my head. Many of these reside in Evernote, the Silicon Valley firm that raised over $200 million to become your second brain . This story begins in late 2013, when Evernote forgot one of my notes and the ensuing support process proved infuriating. I channeled [ ] The post Sex, Bugs, and Evernote appeared first on…
