Pull Up a Chair: A Daily Coffee Salon on What It Would Take to Actually Fix Tech
The media hysteria frames a fight between Robot and Human, and the industry is happy to oblige.
It's easier to have a conversation on "right vs wrong" than to admit the fundamentals are broken: skills, accountability, and the will to hold the industry to a higher standard.
We don't have a technology problem. We have a discipline problem.
In this Coffee Salon Series, join an intimate & facilitated discussion around what it takes to move past the bizarre and intrusive to achieve the economic and social outcomes it touts.
In Tuesday's daily thinking collaboration with special guest Brett Topche of Red and Blue Ventures, we will look at:
What it costs when failure is more performative than a realistic reckoning
Whether we fund solutions to real problems people will pay for, or just fund charisma
Why the obsession with speed is the industry's own kind of substance problem, and how the pressure VCs apply is part of the problem
Brett has seen firsthand what actually happens when vision meets reality, and this conversation is about getting real.
If you're an experienced practitioner or industry stakeholder who enjoys honest conversation and despises charlatans, please join.
