Legendary Stanford immunologist Dr. Ed Engleman helped create the foundations of modern cancer treatment. From early breakthroughs in immune-cell training to a brand-new discovery, Engleman explains how the immune system can now be switched on and off like circuitry, with implications for cancer, autoimmune disease, infections and more. He also breaks down his role at Vivo Capital, the global life-sciences venture firm where he evaluates and guides new biotech startups. Engleman describes how Vivo's more conservative, data-driven investment style matches his own approach: digging deep into the science, waiting for real clinical signals, and backing teams that can translate discoveries into actual drugs. A rare conversation with a scientist-founder-investor whose discoveries and companies have reshaped medicine — and who's still chasing the next breakthrough.

While there are now some notable Latin American “Unicorns,” the region has lagged behind others when it comes to developing a venture economy. Then still, within Latin America, Colombia has until recently punched below its weight in attracting venture dollars. This may be changing now, and some intrepid Venture Capital firms are betting on Colombian talent and the country's technology infrastructure to produce results.Htwenty Capital is one of those early stage venture firms. During a recent event organized by the City of Medellín's investment promotion agency, ACI Medellín, Loren Moss, executive editor of Finance Colombia and Cognitive Business News was able to spend some time with the investment fund's Platform Lead, Jimena Cortés to discuss the unique challenges—and opportunities that Colombia presents when it comes to funding and growing high potential startups.Read the full article on Finance Colombia: Jimena Cortés Shares Why HTwenty Capital is Placing Venture Bets in Colombia Despite Unique ChallengesSubscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-un...Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

What if uncertainty isn't something to fear… but one of the greatest advantages you have as a leader? In this episode of The BrainVault Podcast, Larry Olsen sits down with Scott Stirrett — best-selling author of The Uncertainty Advantage, founder of Venture for Canada, and a rising force in modern leadership.

This week at Venture, we welcomed Pastor Jared Ming from Higher Vision Church as he continued our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Ephesians 5. Pastor Jared teaches what it means to “be imitators of God” — that following Jesus is not just about believing, but about becoming more like our Father. Through humor, personal stories, and deep biblical insight, he unpacks two life-changing truths: 1. Walk in Love Love isn't just emotion — it's action, sacrifice, generosity, and self-control. Jared shows how true love is expressed through giving, and how it also means restraining the desires and behaviors that lead us away from God. 2. Walk in the Light We are called to leave the darkness behind. Jared challenges us to disconnect from anything that keeps us from God's best and to step fully into the light — through confession, truth, repentance, and following Jesus wholeheartedly. This message is practical, challenging, and full of moments that will help you grow closer to God and look more like Him in your daily life. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:06 – Drop your location in the comments00:20 – Service intro00:42 – Pastor Jared Ming takes the stage01:07 – Honoring Pastor Brandon, Pastor Di, and the team01:23 – About Higher Vision Church01:38 – Thanksgiving weekend humor02:03 – “Drumstick” joke02:24 – Diving into Ephesians 502:41 – Standing for the reading of God's Word02:57 – “Be imitators of God”03:31 – Opening prayer03:58 – What does it mean to imitate God?04:17 – Mimicking your Father in heaven04:42 – Family photo illustration05:19 – Do you resemble your Father spiritually?06:25 – What imitation really looks like06:49 – Encouraging the room07:16 – The call to “walk in love”07:56 – Love expressed through giving08:41 – God loved and gave09:05 – The five love languages09:27 – Gift illustration with Pastor Morgan10:51 – It's not love if there's no substance11:13 – Showing love through generosity and forgiveness11:43 – Love is demonstrated through action12:27 – Love is expressed through self-control12:59 – Hard topics: sexual immorality13:28 – Why Paul addresses sexuality14:28 – Fornication explained15:08 – God's call to holiness16:01 – Coveting and desires16:35 – Desires become actions16:57 – God protects us through boundaries17:53 – Love restrains18:01 – Controlling your words18:27 – All communication matters19:15 – Every word is recorded19:44 – Our words justify or condemn20:06 – Life and death in the tongue20:52 – The power of confession21:34 – Your words shape your future22:11 – Speak life, not defeat22:37 – Don't be deceived by empty words23:21 – Cultural lies vs. biblical truth24:06 – Reaping the results of belief24:51 – Speak God's promises25:19 – “The best is yet to come”25:35 – Walk in love recap26:15 – Point 2: Walk in the light26:35 – Leaving darkness behind27:06 – Know what is acceptable to God27:42 – Why you need the Bible28:15 – Light reveals what darkness hides29:17 – Stop blaming darkness — turn on the light29:53 – Jesus is the light30:15 – Jesus wants followers, not fans30:38 – Disconnect from darkness31:26 – “No thank you” illustration from Elf32:47 – What fellowship with darkness looks like33:37 – Expose what's hidden34:18 – Painful but necessary healing34:45 – Story of the plantar wart36:22 – It can't heal until you reveal36:50 – Break fellowship with darkness37:22 – Time to walk in love and light37:41 – Salvation invitation38:29 – Call to repentance39:12 – Prayer of salvation40:12 – Prayer over the church40:45 – Pastor Di wraps up service41:27 – How to go deeper this week41:47 – Christmas season starts next week41:53 – Closing remarks42:00 – End

Episode overviewJohn Martinis, Nobel laureate and former head of Google's quantum hardware effort, joins Sebastian Hassinger on The New Quantum Era to trace the arc of superconducting quantum circuits—from the first demonstrations of macroscopic quantum tunneling in the 1980s to today's push for wafer-scale, manufacturable qubit processors. The episode weaves together the physics of “synthetic atoms” built from Josephson junctions, the engineering mindset needed to turn them into reliable computers, and what it will take for fabrication to unlock true large-scale quantum systems.Guest bioJohn M. Martinis is a physicist whose experiments on superconducting circuits with John Clarke and Michel Devoret at UC Berkeley established that a macroscopic electrical circuit can exhibit quantum tunneling and discrete energy levels, work recognized by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” He went on to lead the superconducting quantum computing effort at Google, where his team demonstrated large-scale, programmable transmon-based processors, and now heads Qolab (also referred to in the episode as CoLab), a startup focused on advanced fabrication and wafer-scale integration of superconducting qubits.Martinis's career sits at the intersection of precision instrumentation and systems engineering, drawing on a scientific “family tree” that runs from Cambridge through John Clarke's group at Berkeley, with strong theoretical influence from Michel Devoret and deep exposure to ion-trap work by Dave Wineland and Chris Monroe at NIST. Today his work emphasizes solving the hardest fabrication and wiring challenges—pursuing high-yield, monolithic, wafer-scale quantum processors that can ultimately host tens of thousands of reproducible qubits on a single 300 mm wafer.Key topicsMacroscopic quantum tunneling on a chip: How Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis used a current-biased Josephson junction to show that a macroscopic circuit variable obeys quantum mechanics, with microwave control revealing discrete energy levels and tunneling between states—laying the groundwork for superconducting qubits. The episode connects this early work directly to the Nobel committee's citation and to today's use of Josephson circuits as “synthetic atoms” for quantum computing.From DC devices to microwave qubits: Why early Josephson devices were treated as low-frequency, DC elements, and how failed experiments pushed Martinis and collaborators to re-engineer their setups with careful microwave filtering, impedance control, and dilution refrigerators—turning noisy circuits into clean, quantized systems suitable for qubits. This shift to microwave control and readout becomes the through-line from macroscopic tunneling experiments to modern transmon qubits and multi-qubit gates.Synthetic atoms vs natural atoms: The contrast between macroscopic “synthetic atoms” built from capacitors, inductors, and Josephson junctions and natural atomic systems used in ion-trap and neutral-atom experiments by groups such as Wineland and Monroe at NIST, where single-atom control made the quantum nature more obvious. The conversation highlights how both approaches converged on single-particle control, but with very different technological paths and community cultures.Ten-year learning curve for devices: How roughly a decade of experiments on quantum noise, energy levels, and escape rates in superconducting devices built confidence that these circuits were “clean enough” to support serious qubit experiments, just as early demonstrations such as Yasunobu Nakamura's single-Cooper-pair box showed clear two-level behavior. This foundational work set the stage for the modern era of superconducting quantum computing across academia and industry.Surface code and systems thinking: Why Martinis immersed himself in the surface code, co-authoring a widely cited tutorial-style paper “Surface codes: Towards practical large-scale quantum computation” (Austin G. Fowler, Matteo Mariantoni, John M. Martinis, Andrew N. Cleland, Phys. Rev. A 86, 032324, 2012; arXiv:1208.0928), to translate error-correction theory into something experimentalists could build. He describes this as a turning point that reframed his work at UC Santa Barbara and Google around full-system design rather than isolated device physics.Fabrication as the new frontier: Martinis argues that the physics of decent transmon-style qubits is now well understood and that the real bottleneck is industrial-grade fabrication and wiring, not inventing ever more qubit variants. His company's roadmap targets wafer-scale integration—e.g., ~100-qubit test chips scaling toward ~20,000 qubits on a 300 mm wafer—with a focus on yield, junction reproducibility, and integrated escape wiring rather than current approaches that tile many 100-qubit dies into larger systems.From lab racks of cables to true integrated circuits: The episode contrasts today's dilution-refrigerator setups—dominated by bulky wiring and discrete microwave components—with the vision of a highly integrated superconducting “IC” where most of that wiring is brought on-chip. Martinis likens the current state to pre-IC TTL logic full of hand-wired boards and sees monolithic quantum chips as the necessary analog of CMOS integration for classical computing.Venture timelines vs physics timelines: A candid discussion of the mismatch between typical three-to-five-year venture capital expectations and the multi-decade arc of foundational technologies like CMOS and, now, quantum computing. Martinis suggests that the most transformative work—such as radically improved junction fabrication—looks slow and uncompetitive in the short term but can yield step-change advantages once it matures.Physics vs systems-engineering mindsets: How Martinis's “instrumentation family tree” and exposure to both American “build first, then understand” and French “analyze first, then build” traditions shaped his approach, and how system engineering often pushes him to challenge ideas that don't scale. He frames this dual mindset as both a superpower and a source of tension when working in large organizations used to more incremental science-driven projects.Collaboration, competition, and pre-competitive science: Reflections on the early years when groups at Berkeley, Saclay, UCSB, NIST, and elsewhere shared results openly, pushing the field forward without cut-throat scooping, before activity moved into more corporate settings around 2010. Martinis emphasizes that many of the hardest scaling problems—especially in materials and fabrication—would benefit from deeper cross-organization collaboration, even as current business constraints limit what can be shared.Papers and research discussed“Energy-Level Quantization in the Zero-Voltage State of a Current-Biased Josephson Junction” – John M.

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon continues our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Ephesians 4 — a chapter filled with practical instructions for how believers should live as part of God's family. Using the illustration of “family rules,” Pastor Brandon teaches that when we become followers of Jesus, we're adopted into God's household — and with that comes a new identity, a new way of living, and new expectations. We are no longer who we used to be. We represent Jesus. We represent our church. And the Gospel should transform the way we think, speak, work, and respond to others. From Paul's call to “live a life worthy of your calling” to practical warnings against lying, anger, bitterness, unwholesome talk, and idleness, this message challenges us to live differently — because we are different. If you want to grow in spiritual maturity and understand what it means to truly reflect Christ in your daily life, this message will encourage and challenge you. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Online Campus welcome00:12 – Welcome from Pastor Brandon00:44 – Parenting stories and family expectations01:49 – “In our house, we do hard things”02:14 – We don't quit — teaching perseverance03:12 – Following through with commitments03:34 – Working hard and having jobs growing up04:10 – College expectations and values05:48 – “Our family goes to church”06:43 – You represent your family07:20 – Transition to Ephesians 408:08 – Live a life worthy of your calling08:57 – Old Testament vs. New Testament obedience09:24 – Expectations for believers, not seekers10:01 – “Don't live like the Gentiles do”10:31 – Who you were vs. who you are now11:23 – Hardened hearts and transformation12:08 – We represent Jesus in everything we do12:40 – “We are Venture”13:13 – Making Jesus famous14:01 – Grace should change how we live14:43 – Putting off your old self15:14 – The symbolism of baptism15:42 – New mind, new life, new identity16:25 – Faith should change your values and worldview17:12 – Chapters 1–3 vs. chapters 4–617:40 – “Take off your grave clothes”18:50 – Expectations for God's family19:26 – Five things we don't do in God's house20:11 – #1 We don't lie21:12 – Truth-telling vs. the enemy's lies22:14 – Speaking the truth in love23:21 – Accountability and honesty in the church24:11 – #2 We control our anger25:28 – How anger becomes sin26:57 – Don't let anger smolder27:27 – The danger of wrath and malice27:52 – #3 We don't steal — we work28:36 – The expectation that believers work29:53 – Psychological benefits of working31:06 – Pastor Brandon's upbringing and work ethic32:09 – First job stories32:16 – #4 Think before you speak32:54 – No unwholesome or corrupt talk33:21 – How Jesus changed our speech34:08 – Gossip, slander, corrupt communication34:40 – #5 We don't let bitterness control us35:19 – Bitterness grieves the Holy Spirit35:59 – The danger of harboring bitterness36:49 – The journey of transformation37:16 – We represent our Father37:40 – Summing it up: Be kind, compassionate, forgiving38:11 – Closing prayer39:12 – Service close and announcements

S4:E198 David gives The Venture Update, then Paul joins with a special segment on Tokenization of Real World Assets. Paul and I thought we'd spice up your Thanksgiving with a technical challenge: Tokenization. This is a rapidly developing innovation in FinTech that is likely to touch all investors in the future, particularly younger investors. It offers investors the promise of maximum liquidity, ROI on tokens held and near instant transaction settlement, all recorded on the block chain. We warm up the topic to help you start a good argument over Turkey. (discussion recorded 11.21.25)Follow David on X at https://x.com/DGRollingSouth Connect On LinkedIn with David at https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgrisell/ Follow Paul on X at https://x.com/PalmettoAngel Connect On LinkedIn with Paul at https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulclarkprivateequity/ We invite your feedback and suggestions at www.ventureinthesouth.com or email david@ventureinthesouth.com.

ako Europa baš i nema neke šanse dostići SAD po investicijama, mogla bi imati AI kompaniju poput OpenAI-ja ili Anthropica. Doduše, s time se ne slažu svi gosti našeg podcasta Slažem se, ne. Složni su, međutim, kako europskim i hrvatskim startupima nedostaje ambicije, neutažive gladi koja vodi startup do onih najviših razvojnih faza kakve obično gledamo na američkom tlu.Povodom objave Atomicovog izvještaja o stanju u europskom techu 2025. ugostili smo u našem podcastu Vedrana Blagusa, managing partner u Feelsgoodu, Vedrana Bajera, generalnog menadžera Adriatic regije u AI startupu Wonderful i Andreja Božića, suosnivača startupa codenamecode i predstavnika IT udruge Unit Croatia._______________0:00 Uvod7:18 Europska tech scena će nadjačati američku10:32 Europa će imati AI kompaniju kalibra OpenAI-ja ili Anthropica11:32 Najveći problem Europe nisu talenti ni regulative, nego premale ambicije.18:47 Europski VC još uvijek ne razumije kako financirati scaleup fazu.21:15 Hrvatska nema dovoljno senior talenata za ozbiljan scaleup.24:20 Hrvatska je dosegnula privremeni plafon kad je riječ o VC investicijama.27:03 Najuspješniji hrvatski startupovi su u praksi više nisu "hrvatski".29:25 Hrvatska ima potencijalna tri nova jednoroga.32:25 Najveći hrvatski startupovi budućnosti još uvijek ne postoje.33:45 VC zima još nije gotova, tek dolazi najteža godina za fundraising.37:45 Hrvatski startupovi u 2026. prikupit će manje investicija nego u 2025.38:50 Venture debt će u Europi postati važniji od equityja, a to će se preliti i na Hrvatsku.40:15 Mirovinski fondovi u Hrvatskoj će promijeniti mišljenje o ulaganjima u fondove rizičnog kapitala.41:35 Corporate bi uskoro mogao postati glavni izvor kapitala za hrvatske startupe.46:20 Europa ima bolje AI talente od SAD-a, ali ih ne zna zadržati.50:55 AI će stvoriti više startupa nego ikad, ali većina će trajati manje od godinu dana.53:50 Europska AI regulacija je najveći promašaj desetljeća.58:25 Hrvatska u budućnosti ima važno mjesto u europskom techu._______________

Most founders think VCs want a pitch deck full of market numbers, a roadmap, and a feel-good story about the future. Hoxton Ventures Partner Payton Dobbs isn't looking for any of that. He wants to know if you actually understand the game you're trying to play. In this conversation, Payton breaks down the tactical stuff founders almost always get wrong: why TAM slides don't matter how to define your real market what early signals prove you have a painkiller and not a vitamin and why most technical founders fail their first go-to-market quiz before the conversation even begins. He also talks about category creation, how to hire in the U.S. if you're coming from Europe, why pricing is a strategic weapon, and the number-one question he asks every founder — the one that quietly decides whether you're playing at venture scale or not. If you're an early-stage builder, this episode will help you level up before you start meeting with VCs.

In dieser Folge gibt es eine Sonderausgabe im Rahmen des Sockenkalenders 2025 – und damit eine besondere Konstellation. Robin hat sich dafür Caspar Schlenk als Gast-Co-Host an die Seite geholt. Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden mit Christian Knott, Partner bei Capnamic. Sie schauen darauf, wie sich der Venture-Capital-Markt aktuell entwickelt: welche Rolle KI wirklich spielt, wie Capnamic auf frühe europäische Tech-Wertschöpfung blickt und warum viele KI-Modelle mit schnellen „Zero-Integration“-Versprechen in den kommenden Jahren harte Konsolidierungsphasen erleben dürften. Christian erklärt, welche Impulse er sich aus den USA holt, wie er die Abhängigkeiten zwischen OpenAI, Microsoft und Nvidia einordnet und wo er echte, nachhaltige KI-Use-Cases sieht. Außerdem geht es um Private Markets und die Frage, wie sinnvoll es ist, Retail-Investoren Zugang zu Venture-ähnlichen Produkten zu geben. Die drei sprechen über ELTIF-Strukturen, Tokenisierung, Illiquidität über 10–15 Jahre und warum finanzielle Bildung für diesen Bereich essenziell ist. Dazu kommt der Blick auf Deutschlands niedrige Aktienquote, kulturelle Risikoaversion und die Rolle von FinEdu-Ansätzen wie BeatVest. Eine besondere Sockenkalender-Folge mit Robin, Caspar und Christian – über KI-Narrative und Venture-Mechaniken 2025. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

One bold mission: bring whiskey to a new generation - and a new audience.In this episode of The Whiskey Hue, we sit down with AnnaAxster and Wendelin von Schroder, founders of Lodestar Whiskey, who went from filmmakers turned accidental music execs - running their own label and touring America - to building a whiskey brand that's rewriting the rules.They share how green-room pours with country starsturned into a full-blown love affair with the craft: from the viscosity and sweetness of their high-rye bourbon and single-malt blend, to why color, flavor, and texture aren't accidents.We dive deep into what it takes to source barrels, launch in Southern California, and build community before chasing sales.And we talk representation - why it's time whiskey spoke to women who've been left out of the conversation for far too long. It's smooth. It's fiery. It's full of heart - just like the whiskey itself.Pour a glass, hit play, and discover how these two arelighting a new path in the world of spirits.EPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intros04:30 Lodestar Quick Intro06:12 But First!

Watch us on YouTube!Ed and Paul dive deep into OpenAI's massive long-term compute commitments and what it means for the company's economics, competitive positioning, and the broader AI arms race. They break down the tension between explosive revenue growth and unprecedented spending, the venture-logic behind “land-grab” behavior, and the risks these commitments pose to both vendors and competitors. In the second half, the conversation turns to Microsoft Teams, the EU's antitrust ruling, and the messy realities of bundling, competition, and predatory pricing — all served with classic Results Junkies candor, startup-operator logic, and more than a few cheeseburger metaphors. Topics & Timestamps 00:05 – Opening banter & travel logistics Ed and Paul compare time zones, Vegas scenery, and the eternal quest for a cheeseburger. 01:04 – Housekeeping Where to find Ed and Paul online; quick reminders for Results Junkies listeners. 01:20 – OpenAI's staggering compute spend Discussing the article outlining OpenAI's commitment to tens of billions in annual compute spending — and why the math seems wild compared to current revenue. 03:20 – Revenue vs. spend: does the model scale? How OpenAI reportedly moved from $1.7B to $12B annualized revenue in ~18 months — and whether that trajectory justifies a $60B/year commitment. 04:40 – Venture-style land-grab logic Why this looks like a classic “spend now, dominate later” strategy — just at an unprecedented scale. 06:00 – What happens if OpenAI misses the commitment? Exploring the vendor-risk problem: what does a partner do when they're left $10–20B short? 07:27 – Founders vs. investors: who's really risking what? Why downside risk isn't shared equally — especially when founders have little capital invested. 08:04 – Barriers to competition increase dramatically The larger these commitments get, the harder it becomes for smaller AI startups to realistically compete. 08:35 – Capacity lock-up strategies Why monopolizing vendor resources may be a conscious competitive tactic. 09:17 – Transition to Microsoft Teams & Slack's EU complaint Ed outlines the EU's ruling requiring Microsoft to unbundle Teams and adjust pricing. 10:58 – Is this really a European-only issue? A look at how bundling plays out in the US market as well. 11:36 – The role of precedent Can EU regulatory pressure spill into US practice? 12:22 – Government-mandated pricing: tricky territory Paul reacts to the idea of regulators dictating price gaps — and why it feels risky through a startup-operator lens. 14:01 – Is Teams effectively a “free burger”? Ed argues that bundling Teams at near-zero cost resembles predatory pricing designed to box out Slack. 15:49 – Revisiting antitrust basics Where's the line between aggressive competition and anti-competitive behavior? 17:33 – Airline analogy: when incumbents crush challengers Ed recounts how United Airlines once priced a regional competitor out of existence — and why the dynamic resembles the Microsoft–Slack situation. 18:59 – Could giants always “out-capacity” challengers? Why big players can add supply and out-discount smaller competitors indefinitely. 20:01 – Independence Air and the Dulles example A real-world case study in predatory pricing and market power. 22:12 – The free-market debate A nuanced discussion on where regulators should intervene. 23:01 – US vs. Microsoft (2000s) Why the landmark browser-bundling case still matters today. 25:17 – How defaults create de-facto monopolies Browsers then; team-collaboration suites now. 27:01 – Why Teams frustrates so many users Ed's legendary rant: stability issues, UX complaints, and cross-platform challenges. 28:29 – The cheeseburger episode idea A running joke about turning Results Junkies into a Bourdain-style food-and-business hybrid. 28:48 – More Vegas talk & logistics Travel schedule, long hotel stays, and construction-trip life. 30:07 – How Vegas won over Dana Why today's Vegas is more dining and convenience than chaos. 30:30 – Cheeseburger Day, store openings & invites Future events, potential travel, and family logistics. We'd love it if you'd leave us a rating.  It takes less than a minute and really helps us out.  Just click here!If you've got a comment or question for the show, you can e-mail us at show@resultsjunkies.com.  You can find Paul and Ed  online @paulsingh and @pizzainmotion.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Stephen Brittain, co-founder of InsurTech Gateway, a pioneering venture builder focused on bringing early-stage startups into the heart of the insurance world – a regulated industry that typically moves at glacial speed. Over the past decade, Stephen has helped launch and scale ventures inside one of the most regulated, risk-averse business sectors on the planet: the insurance space. He has been the spark for innovation inside large insurance corporates and the strategic partner for founders who wanted to navigate the labyrinth of regulation, procurement and distribution at scale. In other words: he has been solving the archetypal “how to innovate inside a large enterprise” question while keeping the spirit of a startup alive. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was a product /service designer, and I found myself – through building bigger and bigger products – coming up against risk, and I saw risk as a constraint. I knew that if I could only understand risk better that I might be able to do bigger and bolder and better projects. That's how I outgrew product design and moved into insurance. InsurTech Gateway's original intention was to find amazing founders and fast-track them into market with enough creative energy to survive, adapt and evolve in an environment where your first idea had to be your fixed idea. Today we give founders greater agility to learn and evolve, because no one ever knows what to do when they first start, it's a learning journey. The upside, the enthusiasm, the opportunity framing of entrepreneurialism and venturing gets everybody started, rallies people together. But, an a bad day, the downside view is actually the long-term sustainability of any new category. VCs and insurers have never sat round the table together. BEST MOMENTS  ‘The opportunity was not to make insurance sexy, it was to look at the secret powers of insurance to create mutual models to work at scale, to unlock lending and put trust into ecosystems that didn't exist before.'  ‘One of the biggest challenges in InsurTech is; to get a successful outcome from something that looked great on day 1 but didn't evolve into the opportunity.' ‘Pattern recognition has never been higher and the cost to entry and experimentation has never been lower. We recognise what works and what doesn't much better, but can we validate it with an insurer and get them onside? I think we still need to work out the connectivity.' ‘If you can work with innovators, and you understand risk, and you can help unlock that innovation, you can make it sustainable.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Stephen Brittain is the Co-Founder of InsurTech Gateway, the world's first authorised venture builder and fund focused on insurtech. A true pioneer at the intersection of innovation, investment, and impact, Stephen has spent the past decade turning bold ideas into scalable ventures that redefine how insurance and technology collide. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures. Sabine is the co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, a top 50 Women in Tech, a FinTech and InsurTech Influencer, an investor & multi-award winner.

Andrew Yang traces his path from failed entrepreneur to 2020 presidential candidate driven by a single realization: automation has already destroyed millions of American jobs, and the next wave will be exponentially worse. Through his work with Venture for America, he witnessed firsthand the economic devastation in Detroit, Ohio, and the Midwest—where automated manufacturing jobs created the conditions that elected Donald Trump. Yang argues that artificial intelligence will soon eliminate truck driving, retail, call centers, and even white-collar professions like law and accounting. His solution is Universal Basic Income—a $1,000 monthly Freedom Dividend for every American adult, funded by a Value Added Tax on tech companies. He dismantles objections about affordability and work ethic, revealing how the policy would grow GDP by $2.5 trillion, create 4.5 million jobs, and transform America into a human-centered economy before technological displacement pushes society off a cliff.
