While the concept of a smart, connected smoke detector isn’t necessarily new, Birdibrings a fresh spin to the idea: in addition to detecting harmful levels of smoke and alerting you, your family, and the local fire department, the device can also monitor air quality (including air pollution and pollen) as well as dangerous fumes like…
Joseph Turian: San Francisco
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? New York is where I was born, and to where I shall return. Many of tech + science friends are in San Francisco, and that’s where I choose to focus the next phase of my life. Describe your experience in SF and your experience in NYC….

Morgen Wolf: San Francisco
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I grew up in the Bay Area in the East Bay, but was always more connected to New York as a city growing up than San Francisco because my parents took me there frequently to visit. I first moved to NY for a summer in college…
Bitty Foods: San Francisco
What do crickets have to do with tech…or food, for that matter? Disrupting the food market (or the food chain, for that matter) is one of the newer trends to emerge from Silicon Valley – see Hampton Creek Foods, which is developing a plant-based egg replacement, or Rob Rhinehart’s Soylent food replacement. Bitty, a new…
Nate Kendall: San Francisco
Nate at the top of Mt. Aconcagua, Argentina. It’s the highest peak in the Americas and apparently a fine place to have a cup of coffee. What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I moved to NYC in 2006 with an ex-. She had gotten into Columbia’s PhD program, but I had vowed…
Fixed: San Francisco
Back in the good old days (OK, in 2006), it was cheaper to rack up a weekly street cleaning parking ticket than to pay for long-term parking at SFO. But oh, times have changed – SF’s DPT can hit you up for $100 if you leave your car in the same spot for 3 days…

Emily Gannett: San Francisco
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I really love both cities. I moved to NYC for college (NYU) and was working and living there until 2011 when more and more of IRL Productions’ clients were based in the Bay Area. At first I just came in for a week at a time for meetings but each time I…
Doorman: San Francisco
New Yorkers know the benefits of a good doorman, but it’s rare to find a staffed apartment building in San Francisco. For those packages that you can’t have delivered to your office (or the ones you don’t want to schlep home), Doorman offers a decent alternative. Instead of having your packages sent to your home…
