Hi, I’m one of the (prospective) co-founders of TiloDB, a serverless “entity-resolution” technology. We built TiloDB as the tech team at a European consumer credit bureau when we were faced with the technical challenge of how to assemble hu

Not yet I am afraid. We need to make some work to make it available as OSS. If you sign up on the website we will let you know when it is released. Also happy to discuss your use cases in the meantime.

We were the tech team at a European consumer credit bureau. We could not find any technology that could handle our scale of data with the required speed, efficiency and cost. So we spent the last three years developing a new entity resoluti

I remember going to A16Z a few years ago, and everybody was called Partner. Looking at Connie's LinkedIn profile it looks like she too was "Partner" and then promoted to "General Partner". Does that mean the "P

I'm surprised there is no mention of the Rocket Internet investment. From what I heard it was the non-US part of Groupon (which was what Groupon acquired from Rocket) that partly dragged the company down.

That's not entirely true. Companies like BioMarin take advantage of the Orphan Drug Acts to make drugs for rare diseases. Then they get bashed for charging loads for these drugs. Damned if you do and damned if you don't!

I've got one too. I take most of my notes in notebooks but would end up with loads of notes that I would never refer to again and I couldn't be bothered uploading to Evernote. I got this 100% in the assumption that hand-writing re

Pretty - I want to point out I did tweet the guy to ask why he was not using you. Also I use Quaderno for my invoicing so: "hi" - great product you have there.

It was ok for me as I already had a UK domestic account and a UK address I could use, but I think from outside the UK this would be very difficult. I suspect your best bet would be HSBC as they operate an "international" model (su
