| We get our first look at the new Gmail, ESPN launches its subscription streaming service and Cambridge University hits back at Facebook. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for April 12, 2018. 1. Here's what the new Gmail looks like Google told G Suite customers yesterday that there's a new version of Gmail coming. Now we have screenshots. Existing Gmail users will probably still feel at home, but there are interesting new features like the ability to snooze emails so that they reappear in your inbox hours or days later, plus a column on the right side of the screen for other integration with apps like Google Calendar. 
2. ESPN launches its streaming service ESPN+ The service will cost $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. But you won't get the big games you get on linear ESPN. 3. Cambridge University hits back at Zuckerberg's shade During Mark Zuckerberg's congressional testimony, he talked about Facebook's need "to understand whether there is something bad going on at Cambridge University overall." So the university responded: "We would be surprised if Mr Zuckerberg was only now aware of research at the University of Cambridge looking at what an individual's Facebook data says about them." 4. Instagram will let you download your content after criticism about portability The company says that soon, you'll be able to download a copy of everything you've shared on Instagram, including your photos, videos and messages. 5. All Raise taps Stitch Fix's Katrina Lake and others to mentor female founders Currently, female founders receive just 15 percent of all venture funding, according to All Raise. The nonprofit wants to increase that number to 25 percent within the next five years. 6. Luminar puts its lidar tech into production through acquisitions and smart engineering We take a deep dive into Luminar's lidar. 7. Billie, which wants to eliminate the "pink tax," closes a $6M seed round for its razor subscription service While many services and products aimed at women are often more expensive than similar goods marketed to men, razors and dry cleaning are "the two worst offenders," according to Billie's founders.
