Shepherd to Lost Sheep
Hi there,
People get very sensitive when folks are critical of startup founders.
But, sometimes it is warranted.
To help you understand when it is and when it is not acceptable to be critical of startup founders, we used AI-infused blockchain to develop the Walkie-Talkie Magic Matrix.

The future of Walmart
Walmart's been on a buying spree, acquiring companies from e-commerce platforms to outdoor apparel retailers. Since the retail giant announced plans to continue snapping up startups, we took a data-driven look at 11 possible targets.
Paypal Mafia in the house
The Future of Fintech is June 19-21st 2018 at Lincoln Center.
Like the last 2 years, the speaker lineup will be insanely good.
Today, I'm excited to announce that we'll be hosting the "consigliere” of the PayPal mafia, Max Levchin, at this year's Future of Fintech.
After selling PayPal to eBay, Levchin served on a few boards (Evernote, Yelp, and Yahoo!) before eventually founding Affirm (rumored valuation of $1.5-2B). The company allows you to make purchases online using a line of credit rather than a credit card.
Join us as we talk with Max about the future of credit and consumer power. Get your ticket today with the early-bird rate.

Given the hype around all things artificial intelligence, we took a look at the increasing trend of companies using ".ai" in their URLs.

Take a look in the mirror
A new patent from Google details how your bathroom mirror could monitor your health, with "optical sensors" embedded in everyday objects capable of assessing cardiovascular function to help users improve heart health.
