As if the planet wanted to join the celebration by launching some spectacular party favors, the Calbuco volcano in southern Chile erupted on Earth Day this past Wednesday. A jaw-dropping lightening show followed the volcano’s first activity since 1972.
That was hardly the only surprise in the works the last few days. Elsewhere on this gorgeous rock, photo apps kept details partially hidden, a subscription service got menswear right, and founders saved money in the unlikeliest of areas. In case you missed the volcanic display, enjoy the KillerStartups weekly roundup.
