Getting Schooled in Starting-up

Available for over a year

What does it take to start and grow a tech venture? We get educated by our special guest Kevin Hale, partner at the seed funding outfit Y-Combinator, who is in London for their event Startup School Europe. Also, do Facebook's financial results this week tell us that the company has found a profitable way to present advertising without annoying users of its service? We hear from Facebook director of product management Will Cathcart. Apple this week indicated a surge in the sale of desktop computers, and a slowing in tablet sales. So are predictions of the death of the desktop computer premature? We speak to Simon Segars, chief executive of the leading microprocessor designer ARM Holdings, whose creations power many mobile devices. Also Adi Tatarko, co-founder of the interior design and architecture portal Houzz, talks about being a female tech entrepreneur and why she thinks juggling a family life with work makes for a better leader. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with Kim Gittleson and Leo Kelion from the BBC Online technology desk.
