Topic #1: Advancing Human Connectivity. We are behind computers more than we are in front of other humans. As we connect digitally, we are losing emotional connections. How can computers and technology advance in ways that support emotional connectivity? Go beyond dating and relationships.
Topic #2: General Philanthropic Business Venture. It doesn’t need to be a B-Corp business. Tell us how you’ll create a business that aligns with the “good” advancement of the human species?
