Recently leaders from TiVo joined founders of WXR Accelerator cohort three to discuss what start-ups should be asking about patents to understand the nuances and complexities of Intellectual Property and Patent filing.

Last week The WXR Fund welcomed start-ups that applied to the third WXR Accelerator cohort to meet with other entrepreneurs, investors and corporate partners at the Verizon 5G Labs in the Alley, Palo Alto.

The fireside chat with Laura Hertzfeld, Director of Yahoo News XR Partner Program at Verizon Media dove into the change in journalism with the advent of immersive technologies and the impact of 5G on spatial computing and artificial intelligence.

Special thanks to the founders that demoed that night, enabling guests to experience a wide variety of immersive experiences.

Being a founder isn’t easy. Being a founder in emerging industries like VR, AR, or AI? This presents its own set of challenges! Behind early stage startup successes are a lot of no’s, pivots, and convincing others that new technology, while not yet mainstream, has the potential to make a big impact in areas like healthcare, education, and entertainment.
