The world’s only high-speed cooler

Electric skateboard maker Onewheel and durable container brand Yeti have combined forces to create a cooler that you can ride anywhere. Well, maybe not anywhere. And you might fall. And there’s only one, because it’s a joke. But it works, and be honest — you already want one, right? The TC Top Picks program showcases…

      Naumen You dummy, a 44-year-old is not a boomer, I’m generation X! And I’m already retired, I retired at age 42! So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    Looks like it will hold 4 ice cubes and two drinks. Why spend that much for something like this?

    legit though, I can imagine this making real money: college, tailgating, golf, the beach. Put a speaker on it and you have the ultimate mobile party

      4 wheels might be safer and allow for more capacity though…

    I’d be a little worried about opening a beer can after 10 min ride in this cooler. Bottles seems not even an option. In my opinion, closing battery & electric engine in temp insulated container may cause a real problem to cooling effiency. Considering the price, which probably’s insanly high, I’d rather buy an electric bike and camping fridge :). Yeah, I’m old :D.

If one thing has become clear this season, finding the right talent for your team isn’t as easy as picking from a pile of resumes This week’s guest is Leah Solivan, the founder of Taskrabbit and now an early-stage investor who has seen that the power to change a homogenous startup exosystem comes from empowering diverse VCs to fund underrepresented founders who will hire the hidden tech talent.

From bootstrapping TaskRabbit on credit cards to scaling it into one of the defining companies of the gig economy, Leah learned firsthand that the hardest part of building a company isn’t the product, it’s selecting the right people to build it.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Leah unpack what it really takes to build diverse teams from day one and why most companies get it wrong by waiting too long. They also explore how the lack of diversity in venture capital directly shapes who gets funded, and ultimately, who gets hired.

Apply to Startup Battlefield: We are looking for early-stage companies that have an MVP. So nominate a founder (or yourself): techcrunch.com/apply. Be sure to say you heard about Startup Battlefield from the Build Mode podcast.

TechCrunch Disrupt: If you’re thinking about applying to Startup Battlefield, then October 13 to 15 in San Francisco, we’re back for TechCrunch Disrupt, where the Startup Battlefield 200 takes the stage. So if you want to cheer them on, or just network with 1000s of founders, VCs, and tech enthusiasts, then grab your tickets.
