I believe a video of the event might become available soon at the VentureLab website. I forgot to mention that this event was put on by the MIT/Stanford VentureLab.

As to your Recyclebank question, I believe Gonen said they have protection against competitors in a few ways: a) they sign five year agreements with the cities they operate in, b) they have IP on the chip technology and web software, and c) they have other revenue streams of possible monetization schemes due to their marketplace network and connections. So if a competitor emerged saying “instead of 50/50 split, we’ll take only 40/60″, Recyclebank wouldn’t be hurt that much.

Again, this is just what I recall, don’t quote me on it. :)

with regard recyclebank can you expand your article “he wards against competitors”, how?
