Jupiter, Zesty and Discord

This week we feature Jupiter, a San Mateo startup that  hopes to reduce future devastation caused by floods and severe weather by helping developers and cities predict where the problem areas could be. We also discuss Square's purchase of Zesty and recent developments at Discord, a chat tool popular with gamers, that has received an extra $50 million in funding to make it easier for friends to talk online. The company also just teamed up with Microsoft’s Xbox. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
