I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.----Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7----This video is for informational purposes only.

Martin Wolf, the 2024 author of “The crisis in Democratic Capitalism” does not believe that the crises can be “fixed”. Instead, he sees the need for them to be managed to avoid autocracy, plutocracy, or climate catastrophe. Professor Colin Mayer believes otherwise. His 2024 book is about “Capitalism and Crises: How to Fix them”. Shann Turnbull's, 1975 book on “Democratising the wealth of nations”, proposes a self-financing tax incentive (p. 90) to democratise and purify capitalism and democracy. But only for humans that may survive our ghastly future environmental degradation.

In this episode of Macrodose, guest host Isabelle Ferreras delves into the often-overlooked contradiction at the heart of modern democratic societies: while we live in democratic states, our workplaces are far from democratic. Isabelle explores the concept of "economic bicameralism" as a solution to bridge this gap and extend democratic principles into the workplace. She argues that if we truly value democracy, we must reconsider how power is distributed in the firms where we spend the majority of our lives.

In conversation with Tendai Shepherd Mbanje   In this  episode of the Africa Rights Talk podcast, Mr. Tendai Mbanje engaged in a thought-provoking conversation addressing critical issues related to South Africa's political landscape and democratic processes.  He noted that South Africa has witnessed declining voter registration and turnout due to disillusionment with politicians. Issues like corruption, poor service delivery, and unemployment have eroded public trust. He noted that to restore faith in the electoral process and governance, political parties must be transparent about their actions, decisions, and financial dealings, hold leaders accountable for their promises and actions, prioritise efficient service delivery to address citizens' needs, implement robust anti-corruption measures and engage with citizens.    Mr Mbanje emphasised the importance of attracting and mobilising  young voters. He iterated that the youth demographic plays a pivotal role in shaping South Africa's future and that political parties should Educate young voters about their rights, the electoral process, and the impact of their vote, and develop policies that resonate with youth concerns (e.g., education, employment, climate change) and most importantly,include young leaders in decision-making bodies. On the note of balancing ambitious promises and realism of political campaigns, parties should make specific commitments rather than vague promises, back promises with evidence and feasible plans and communicate limitations and challenges honestly. Mr Mbanje noted that the 2024 elections coincide with South Africa's 30th anniversary of democracy, therefore making it a unique election. And that the outcome will determine if it is a maturing democracy or a regressing democracy and may influence democratic norms in other African nations. Furthermore,  he commended the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and other various governmental and non-governmental institutions in combating disinformation and ensuring credible elections and highlighted  that South Africa's elections serves as a model due to its implementation of robust fact-checking mechanisms, education of citizens about discerning reliable information, transparent communication about electoral processes and her willingness tp collaborate globally to combat disinformation. In summary, Mr. Tendai Mbanje's insights underscore the importance of transparent, accountable, and youth-inclusive political processes in shaping South Africa's future and influencing democratic practices across the African continent.   Mr. Tendai Shepherd Mbanje is an accomplished scholar and advocate, and currently a Project Officer, at the Expression, Information and Digital Rights Unit (EIDR), Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria. He has made significant contributions to African governance and electoral processes. His research focuses on the critical role of Regional Economic Communities (RECs) within the African Union. Mr. Mbanje's work sheds light on credible and legitimate electoral practices, emphasising transparency, accountability, and youth engagement. His insights resonate beyond South Africa, influencing democratic norms and practices in neighbouring African nations, and exploring strategies to combat disinformation and ensure credible electoral outcomes.     This conversation was recorded on 19 March 2024.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc  limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

In this episode, Eric is joined by Raj Verma, CEO of SingleStore - a Series F startup that provides a cloud-native database built with speed and scale to power real-time applications.Raj speaks on their journey of finding the problem in their market. They saw how inefficient it is to navigate between multiple data platforms and that data is often too fragmented and spread between too many sources to ensure quality conclusions due to there being too many points of failure. Big tech has a huge data advantage over mid-market competitors due to the fact that leveraging data is super expensive. SingleStore is on a mission to democratize data utilization in smaller companies, which also reflects in their client base - SaaS companies between $10-300 million ARR see the most benefit from implementing SingleStore, and their best performing segment are go-to-market tools, which is a motion that historically doesn't rely on data as much as other parts of the business.Generative AI is changing the way companies utilize data. Raj mentions that in the digital age, generative AI has been in the making for decades. He sees AI being discussed in 3 buckets - first one being that it will help automate easy work, second being that hard tasks will become easy, and third being that the impossible will become possible. He predicts that 50% of software jobs will become automated. Raj is fascinated by what it means for the impossible to become possible. He believes that science will be the sector that will see the most growth from AI, and he speaks on how AI is changing the way we approach medicine. Tune into the full episode to learn more about how SingleStore is democratising data!HIGHLIGHTS:00:00 What does SingleStore do?02:06 The problem SingleStore saw in the market05:38 How agile teams suffer due to inefficient data tools09:21 What keeps incumbency in place? 12:47 How early stage startups can leverage their data16:42 How generative AI is changing the world21:40 AI implications in medicine Connect with Raj - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajvermaceo/ Don't forget to subscribe to the Chaos to Clarity Podcast for more invaluable episodes to help you grow your business and stay ahead of the curve!

For the 95% of publishers who haven't yet adopted AI, identifying a use case they can start with is usually the biggest roadblock. But the tools also need to be available for publishers to be able to support their unique revenue streams. This is the latest in our Media Briefs series of short, sharp sponsored episodes - just 10 to 15 minutes - with a senior executive from a vendor working with publishers to make their businesses better. In this episode, Peter speaks with Maanas Mediratta, CEO at Bridged Media, about how and why making AI tools more accessible to publishers will help the whole ecosystem. Much of the AI innovation is being driven by big tech companies and industries like eCommerce, fashion and finance. But publishers have such a diversity of business models, even tools designed for media companies often won't satisfy individual companies' goals and needs.

Charles Black has been a space enthusiast since childhood and it's been his dream to build a space television network that films in space.   Charles envisioned a space-centric platform back in the 1990s when the world wasn't quite ready for such a revolutionary concept—no internet, no social media.   Despite the technological constraints, Charles, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit cultivated since age 16, navigated a diverse career path. Throughout this journey, he held steadfast to his cosmic dream.   Charles' intriguing encounter with a four-leaf clover, was a serendipitous sign that solidified his commitment and purpose in pursuing his dream.   Fast forward to today, Charles has launched his life-long dream of space TV by streaming real-time videos from space for the benefit of all humanity.   As he extends his reach to the Moon and beyond, Charles envisions an independent media for humanity, shaping our collective understanding of the cosmos and its profound impact on our lives.

The full transcript of this episode is available here.You've probably heard of Groww. It is a financial services platform, last valued at $3 billion. This year, the Groww team travelled to a bunch of tier-2 and tier-3 cities in South India to talk to users of its products. In fact, so far, they've been to 100 such cities.In this conversation with Rohin, Lalit—the co-founder and CEO of Groww—describes what typically happens during these visits.Take a city like Indore, for example. Hundreds of Groww users travel really long distances just to talk to the Groww team. They want to know things like how to use the app for something as simple as investing in an SIP that has actually changed their lives.Lalit tells Rohin how the same people have told so many of their friends and family members about Groww. They're excited, grateful and most importantly, emotional, says Lalit.And then he says there's just one word that can describe what's happening between Groww and its users…and it is love.Love for customers, love for the product, and love for good financial services…You'll see how this is a recurring theme in this conversation. Customers are at the centre of Groww. Customer obsession, Lalit says, with no uncertainty, is the thing that will make an employee succeed at Groww.Lalit is a man who is sure of many things—like he's good at hiring or how to build an effective direct-to-consumer product. He knows the first principles for solving complex problems like the back of his hand.And what he's unsure of, he's not too worried about. He tells Rohin how he was raised in a way that makes him a bit different from other founders.Everything will pass, he says. Every problem will be solved. And he explains how this keeps him going, keeps Groww going.In his stoic, cool manner, he goes on to talk about:Why financial services is a basic necessityHow to create delight with your productUnderstanding the difference between what your customer wants and what they will useWhy "discipline is overrated"A simple process that Lalit uses to hire the right people_____________Chapters: 03:01 - What we talk about when we talk about financial services07:19 - Democratising financial services09:41 - Supply and demand of financial services10:51  - How Groww grew 16:33 - How to find future customers today?20:09 - The one metric Groww watches22:21 - What customers say is not what customers do30:37 - What makes people love a financial services brand?35:16 - Lalit's career ladder40:08 - The seeds for Groww46:31 - “Not old & wise enough to give advice, but if there was one thing…”53:14 - Cracking delayed monetisation55:28 - The only thing that guides Groww1:02:31 - “Discipline is overrated”1:05:38 - A simple process to hire the right people1:08:23 - What does Lalit read?1:14:36 - A weekday in Lalit's life1:16:25 - What kind of people succeed at Groww?_____________Also, tune in to the latest episode of Daybreak—The Ken's podcast which breaks down one significant business story thrice a week—to learn about the talent exodus at Niti Aayog on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts!The Ken is India's first subscriber-only business journalism platform.

In this conversation we discuss both the changing nature of demand for alternative assets as well as their supply. Matt explains how CAIS is creating the bridge between the alternative investment firms and the wealth management community, whose portfolio allocations to these investments are a fraction of their institutional counterparts. Matt discusses the size of the market opportunity, how technology is enabling this rapid transition, and helping solve the problem of unequal access to alternatives. He talks about branding within this space, competition, regulation and how Mercers are providing core due diligence to introduce independence to the arena. The discussion then moves to how investors are re-appraising the traditional 60/40 allocation to bonds and stocks, to incorporate a wider portfolio including alternative investments.

In this episode of the DeFi Download, Tommy Johnson, Core Contributor of PsyFi, joins Piers Ridyard to discuss their two-sided DeFi marketplace for structured products, which allows users to earn yield on their assets and traders to hedge or leverage their portfolio.SummaryPsyFi offers products such as covered calls, secured puts, and spread structured products, which PsyFi wraps up and tokenizes. The PsyFi team is developing a market-making vault product where users can deposit two-sided liquidity and earn fees based on participating in and providing liquidity for trades.Piers and Tommy explain what a structured product is and use covered calls as an example to discuss how the PsyFi platform works. They discuss the risks and rewards of PsyFi's covered call options compared to over-collateralized borrow-lending products like Aave. They also discuss the market need for a riskier product like PsyFi and the usefulness of buying covered calls or secured puts for market actors who have a directional view or want to hedge their positions.Key takeawaysPsyFi is a decentralised finance platform that allows users to trade options on Solana.A covered call is a selling strategy in which the user sells calls week-to-week, taking the position that the price of the underlying asset will not cross the strike price by the expiration date of the call.PsyFi's covered call options provide a 0.35% weekly return and 12% APY but can result in users making lots of money or suddenly losing money depending on the volatility of the asset. They are riskier than over-collateralized borrow-lending products like Aave.PsyFi's structured products provide an opportunity for people to earn impressive yields on their assets, but they require a directional view and are not a leave-it-and-see-what-happens kind of product.Buyers of PsyFi's structured products include speculators with market opinions and more institutional market makers who may be hedging across their book.Chapters[01:07] The definition of structured products[02:15] How a covered call works on the PsyFi platform[04:42] Does the trader's profit from a PsyFi covered call come from the user's Solana?[05:22] Selling volatility and making money through covered calls on PsyFi[06:21] What is the expected return on a two-week covered call on Solana?[06:50] The risks and rewards of PsyFi's covered call options compared to Aave's over-collateralized borrow-lending products[08:02] Why does the market need a riskier product like PsyFi?[09:20] What functionalities do buyers of covered calls or secured puts need, and why are these products necessary?[10:50] Using covered call options for asset exposure and risk hedging in DeFi[14:03] Are people primarily using the PsyFi protocol for hedging or speculation? [15:41] How does collateralization work in PsyFi's covered call scenario, even if a portion of assets have been sold?[17:20] Capital efficiency in options markets and borrow-lend protocols[20:12] How a high-interest rate environment has affected the market for structured products in decentralised finance[21:34] How has PsyFi responded to the higher yield environment created by the Fed?[24:23] Democratising market maker returns in DeFi with a delta-neutral vault[26:11] How does PsyFi evaluate market makers before granting access to capital?[27:43] PsyFi's launch date[28:03] Where to find out more about PsyFiFurther resourcesWebsite: psyfi.io Twitter: @PsyOptionsDocumentation: docs.psyfi.io

In today's episode, I sit down with Sipho Simela, the innovative Founder and CEO of Matrix Rental Solutions, a company revolutionizing the tenant-screening process using AI. With 34% of the U.S population living in rental housing, Sipho's mission to streamline the rental application process couldn't be more timely. Matrix Rental Solutions is leading the charge in tackling biases found in conventional applicant algorithms that often obstruct renters. With an AI that provides a holistic view of an applicant's financial stability, Matrix ensures deserving renters get a fair chance, showing that 89% of conditionally accepted applicants were able to make at least three consecutive on-time rental payments. Sipho shares insightful discussions on the measures Matrix has taken to mitigate fraud in the rental market, which has seen a significant increase during the pandemic. We delve into the importance of empowering consumers with control over their data and how Matrix's advanced tools detect fraudulent documents and identity theft. Our conversation also uncovers the limitations of the traditional tenant evaluation system, such as cumbersome paper-based applications and slow processing times. Sipho envisions a future with faster, more accurate tenant evaluations through the power of AI and other emerging technologies. We also discuss the necessity of industry-wide standardization through a Universal Rental Application, and how technology can shield tenants, realtors, and brokerages from housing discrimination cases. In a particularly heartening segment, Sipho shares his humbling personal journey that led to the birth of Matrix Rental Solutions. Despite the complexity of the tech world he navigates, Sipho's humility shines through, adding a layer of personal connection to our conversation. Join us as we explore the intersection of AI, real estate, and equity with Sipho Simela. Learn how Matrix Rental Solutions is forging a path for a fairer rental process, democratizing access to quality housing, and shaping the future of tenant screening processes.

Former McKinsey partner, co-founder of Happiness Squad and author, Ashish Kothari, is on a mission to “democratise happiness” and help a 1 billion unlock their full potential through integrating the art and science of happiness. In this episode, he predicts the crisis on stress, anxiety, and burnout in organizations will get a lot worse before it gets better in 2023, that organisations will continue to see suboptimal returns from and slow progress from ‘flourishing programs' unless we drastically change course, and that the rise in AI technologies will further cause the urgency and pull to elevate human consciousness and need to evolve our adult development. In order to thrive versus just survive, he shares a practical set of ideas that you can start to implement right away to unlock your full potential and live with more joy, health, love, and meaning. In his words, you can “ACHIEVE MORE” not by “DOING MORE” but by “BEING MORE”.

Clayton M. Christensen and Michael B. Horn's “Disrupting Class” is an unsettling title for a book about the schooling process. The title conveys multiple meanings. The principal message is that disruption can usefully frame why schools have struggled to improve and how to solve these problems.

YT version (with references): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxaTinmKxs0 Support us! https://www.patreon.com/mlst MLST Discord: https://discord.gg/aNPkGUQtc5 Carla Cremer and Igor Krawczuk argue that AI risk should be understood as an old problem of politics, power and control with known solutions, and that threat models should be driven by empirical work. The interaction between FTX and the Effective Altruism community has sparked a lot of discussion about the dangers of optimization, and Carla's Vox article highlights the need for an institutional turn when taking on a responsibility like risk management for humanity. Carla's “Democratizing Risk” paper found that certain types of risks fall through the cracks if they are just categorized into climate change or biological risks. Deliberative democracy has been found to be a better way to make decisions, and AI tools can be used to scale this type of democracy and be used for good, but the transparency of these algorithms to the citizens using the platform must be taken into consideration. Aggregating people's diverse ways of thinking about a problem and creating a risk-averse procedure gives a likely, highly probable outcome for having converged on the best policy. There needs to be a good reason to trust one organization with the risk management of humanity and all the different ways of thinking about risk must be taken into account. AI tools can help to scale this type of deliberative democracy, but the transparency of these algorithms must be taken into consideration. The ambition of the EA community and Altruism Inc. is to protect and do risk management for the whole of humanity and this requires an institutional turn in order to do it effectively. The dangers of optimization are real, and it is essential to ensure that the risk management of humanity is done properly and ethically. By understanding the importance of aggregating people's diverse ways of thinking about a problem, and creating a risk-averse procedure, it is possible to create a likely, highly probable outcome for having converged on the best policy.

Ryan is joined by the CEO and founder of Tint, Matheus Riolfi. Matheus talks about how to add margin to SaaS projects in a unique, yet simple way and explains how you can do this with your business too. He also talks about his journey to becoming a founder and how to gain funding early on in a start-up. Listen in to learn more including how Riolfi is using Tint to democratise the insurance industry through the power of AI. KEY TAKEAWAYS Direct, inbound sales are the secret to Tint's growth success. Work with tech and SaaS companies to create insurance products to protect customers and clients and therefore the company too. The concept of insurance in many companies is unknown. This allows Tint to educate and inspire businesses about their product. Once a client decides to work with Tint, they operate on a plug-and-play product. They work as a partnership with the business including great API to make the process seamless. Your customers will have problems, tap into these as much as possible, solving these issues and then base your core business around them; this will lead to exponential growth.
