In 2020, before I joined the Technical.ly newsroom, I made the RealLIST Connectors list in Baltimore. It is how Techncial.ly honors the most connective community members in our markets. Here is our list in Baltimore from last year: https://lnkd.in/eVUnPYCT Know someone who runs an accelerator, is advancing policy changes, holds sway within government IT, connects young technologists to jobs, hosts a meetup, or just knows about all the cool tech events and always tells you? Nominate them! My colleague Kaela Roeder is looking for folks in DC too. Here's how to nominate a person or company for the RealLIST Startups, RealLIST Connectors or, RealLIST Engineers, any time: https://lnkd.in/eDPnSXkT

At this stage in MindPsy’s journey, it’s about getting out there, keeping an ear to the ground and learning from those who have gone before us. The value of events that bring together a network of inspiring people who lead businesses from the ‘just getting started’ up to unicorn status is incredible. Connecting with people who are facing the same challenges, or who have been there and can help us to navigate, is exactly what will help fulfill the mission that Kath Easthope and Phill Robinson set out to achieve when they set up Boardwave to move Europe to an equal footing with the US when it comes to tech growth. We heard about the less than straight lines to success, and the advice and mindset required to get through what can sometimes feel like chasms between the peaks with Vin Murria OBE DBA Elona Mortimer-Zhika and Martin Ott We understood the most fertile environment for tech growth in the UK is a compost of supportive policy and regulation, ecosystem collaboration and competition, and the opportunity to disrupt incumbents. We learned How Ai can accelerate that growth, when used in specific and specialist verticals rather than generalist ways, and had the opportunity to learn from two leaders Joaquim Lecha and Rich Waterworth about how they found successful market share and growth in an already dominated market. I was also given the opportunity for a great mentoring session with Nick Black who helped me to prioritise the challenges and focus on our differentiation. All in all, an inspirational day curated by two mission driven founders whose passion shone through the entire day, and whose ethics were clear to see through the impact partners they support and work with (and who i had the pleasure to meet) Cure Parkinson's Maths4Girls. Well done Boardwave team! And last but certainly not least, we were treated to how Ai can integrate with the arts where Move AI created a live (real time) avatar through motion capture (without the suit) - video below to enjoy!

Success is a journey with its fair share of challenges and growth opportunities, made easier when guided by the best. Dr. Fin Williams shared invaluable insights at the Broadwave event, which I found three key takeaways: 1. Networking is Key: Connecting with experienced entrepreneurs offers vital insights, guidance, and connections crucial for overcoming challenges. 2. UK's Tech Growth: Thriving in tech demands more than innovation; it thrives in a supportive ecosystem of policies, competition, and collaboration, and AI can be a game-changer. 3. Mentorship Matters: Mentorship plays a pivotal role in defining priorities and highlighting what sets a business apart. These events serve as a platform to unite individuals and foster growth. #TechGrowth #FutureHealth #MentorshipMatters #AIInnovation #Entrepreneurship

Last week I attended the DC Start Up and Tech Week. 🎉 Seema Alexander, Rachel Koretsky and their team created an event that exceeded my expectations with a prolific and engaging cache of panels, fireside chats and keynotes that got me amped up and helped me rethink some of my future plans. Super exciting!

My axiom for startups working to navigate The Media Mosaic — our highly fractured media environment — is to find the niches that move the needle. The people who will actually drive growth and improve the health of the business, directly and indirectly, often represent a tiny, miniscule, nigh infinitesimal sliver of the overall population. The latest from Eleanor Hawkins of Axios aligns with my take. 🔗 for my essay, The Media Mosaic: https://bit.ly/3VOGRDT 🔗 for Axios: https://bit.ly/3VQhNwj

Technology and policy intersect in more ways than you might imagine, influencing everything from startup innovation to global regulation. With the election approaching and big tech under the microscope, the future may seem uncertain. But for savvy founders and investors, this unpredictability leads to opportunity. We're just days away from NY TECH WEEK by a16z! Join Bradley Tusk, Joseph Connor, and Alexandra Sternlicht as they dive into The Politics of Innovation.

Young entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders (ages 15-24) are redefining professional language. Forget "circling back" or "thinking outside the box" – think "𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘻" and "𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺." 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤: Even though we could barely understand each other, Gen Z founders blew me away with their innovative ideas and maturity at Tech Week NYC! (Also, despite AI buzz, many young Americans aren't even using it daily.) So grab your Urban Dictionary and follow along as the evolving tech dialogue and generational gap converges.
