Fireside Chat & The Future of Cloud
summary
Microsoft Ventures announces an undisclosed seed investment in Skydraft, runs an accelerator that selects about 15 startups per cohort, limits hands‑on support to 25 at a time, takes no equity, and participates in follow‑on rounds (notably a 2010 investment in Waze). Panel claims cloud economics let companies cut marginal costs by a few percent (example: route optimization saves ~5% fuel), sees 5 billion devices today scaling toward 50 billion, and argues centralized cloud data processing outperforms fully distributed models.
