最佳与最差:硅谷科技初创公司CEO评点2013

JP Mangalindan 2014-01-02
2013年即将过去。回首这一年,科技界有哪些亮点和不足?从Box公司的亚伦•列维到Lookout公司的约翰•海林,这些身在科技行业第一线的初创公司CEO们对今年的科技界动向进行了总结。

亚伦•列维

CEO,Box公司

公司业务(非官方信息):企业在线文件存储

最佳:今年,围绕科技的讨论,第一次从比特和字节变成雄心勃勃的“改变世界”的话题。亚马逊(Amazon)的无人机送货计划虽然没有推出实质性的产品,但却引起了激烈讨论。此外,还有埃隆•穆斯克的Hyperloop超级高铁和谷歌(Google)的健康科技公司Calico。这些公告、产品发布和计划都非常有趣,我认为它们代表了一个令人兴奋的未来愿景:科技不仅仅是在帮助我们进行沟通,也不只是让我们变得更为社交化。实际上,科技将改变我们的生活方式、工作方式和出行方式。今年,很多不同的公司都在向我们描绘这样一种生态系统,这还是首次出现这样的现象。它非常具有启发性,也是我们最初决定进入这个行业的原因之一。

最差:我尝试过谷歌眼镜,它让我有些失望。这款产品还有许多地方需要完善。

Aaron Levie

CEO, Box

The company's 411: Online file storage for the enterprise.

Best: This is the first year really where the conversation around technology turned from being about bits and bytes to aspirational, "change-the-world" topics. With drone delivery, Amazon (AMZN) announced more of a conversation than a product. You have also Elon Musk's Hyperloop and Google's (GOOG) Calico. This is a very interesting set of announcements, launches, and initiatives that I think all represent a very exciting vision for the future: Technology isn't just going to help us communicate and become more social. It's actually going to change how we live, how we work, and where we travel to. This is the first year there was enough from different companies to show where this ecosystem is going. It's incredibly inspirational, and it's the reason we got into this industry in the first place.

Worst: When I tried Google Glass, it burst one of my bubbles. That product still needs a little bit of work.
