Matter.vc Demo Day
Now is the time for lots and lots of experiments
Matter V is six companies changing media for good
I want you to meet each other and do what we call creating intentional serendipity
Matter has now invested in nuzzel by Jonathan Abrams
We also put teams from media partners alongside our entrepreneur teams
Today I welcome to matter our 9th media partner, Tribune Publishing
Everything we've done to date has been with 2 full time people, but we are now a team of 5
These companies have been doing what I like to call the drunken walk of the entrepreneur
Let me introduce you to Ashley, a new mother who from her instagram feed looks like she has it down
Really, she thinks her baby has colic, she fears returning to work and feels alone
When Ashley finds http://www.mother.ly/ she finds a site ready for millennial mothers
Once she logs in she sees her personal bundle, articles tuned for her stage of motherhood and her place
While motherhood can feel like a lonely journey, it is a predictable process
This month the first digitally native cohort to become moms is poised for exponential growtg
In addition to our entrepreneurial experience we have six children under the age of four
2016 will be the year when live streaming explodes into the music space
Periscope is built for spontaneous news, not musicians, it's hard to plug instruments into iPhones
Twitch is built for gaming, not for music and the site feels wrong
Huzza is like a Twitch for live music
Devin from Seattle is here live now [allegedly]
Fans want authentic experiences from the artists they love, and that is what they want to pay for
Our site is live at huzza.io - sign up for our next live stream
It was 3am when we decided to take the plunge. Wevd drop out of Stanford, to sf for the future of storytelling
Verbatm is anew blogging platform with a mobile focus on storytelling
Verbatm makes it very easy to combine media with a simple pinch
I click post and it appears on my feed on verbatm
On verbatm you follow particular channels on a person's feed so you know what the theme is
You have your profile, where you organise your channels
You have your feed where you see what you have chosen to see, and you can share out to social media

Redivis brings together data and visualisation into a community
We are focusing on users who have access to data, researchers and academics
We will monetize private accounts, external embedding
We are about to experience the most radical shift in how we consume media since the birth of television b VR
Right now there is no dedicated platform to find our what is happening in the world and experience in vr
In metta Alexa can see the world and where stories are shown in the world
It's a whole new way to engage with the stories that matter
Metta is not just built for large organisations like the associated press and riot media, but individuals too
Today, we have an alpha launch at mettavr.com
We are about to see an explosion of user generated content on consumer 3d cameras
