Today’s LA#itself features a conversation with Dennis Crowley, the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Foursquare. Foursquare is so much more than the check-in social media app we know from the late naughts. Today Foursquare comprises a host of consumer and enterprise products, all of which emerged from a single idea over ten years ago. “How can I get my friends together more easily in New York?” A Jane Jacobs fan, Crowley tells us about how he sees tech companies working to make our city lives both easier and more fun, and how the best tech innovations arise when people build solutions, not apps.
