Reference excerpt

Keith Teare (born 27 August 1954, in Scarborough, North Riding of Yorkshire) is an English-American technology entrepreneur.

Career Keith Teare has founded or co-founded several IT companies since the early 1980s. He is credited with being part of:

Cyberia, the UK's first internet cafe; Easynet, Europe's first consumer Internet Service Provider; RealNames, the first multi-lingual addressing system for the Internet; Archimedes Ventures LLC, a vehicle for his incubation, investments and consulting service; TechCrunch, a technology blog; Just.me, an instant messaging service; chat.center, a web to mobile SaaS messaging service; Accelerated Digital Ventures.; SignalRank, an Index of top private companies In 2017, Teare joined Oldham blockchain company Energy Mine.

Controversy In 2018, TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington published a blog post alleging that Teare had misrepresented his role in TechCrunch's founding. Arrington asserted that Teare had initially dismissed the idea for the site and later sought to associate himself with its creation despite not having contributed to its launch or early development. Teare rejected these claims, stating that he had never presented himself as a founder of TechCrunch. He maintained that Arrington established the publication in 2005 while both were partners in an LLC called Archimedes Ventures, and that his involvement consisted of providing support during the blog’s formative period rather than participating in its editorial or operational setup.

Works Tompson, Keith (1988). Under Siege: Racism and Violence in Britain Today. London: Penguin Books. ISBN 9780140523911. Keith Tompson is a pen name for Silicon Valley entrepreneur Keith Teare. He was active in anti-racist campaigns in the UK between 1979 and 1996. This book was written at a time when extreme right wing groups were targeting activists, hence the use of a pen name to protect his identity.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Keith Teare

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Keith Teare claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Keith Teare before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Keith Teare ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Keith Teare

In research: Keith Teare appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Keith Teare in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Keith Teare is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1954 births, Internet stubs, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Keith Teare outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
