Last Friday, I spoke at Alleycon - Columbia Business School’s tech, startup, VC conference - in NYC 💻 We discussed what the future of urban cities would look like with how we’ve been evolving and the new innovations being created. Each of the panelists had a unique perspective since we’re working on important pieces that are necessary for a civilized and healthier society, such as #sustainability, technology, environment, #healthcare, consumables, and investment. Here’s some takeaways: 🏙️ Public and private sector partnerships will be critical in order to maintain the built environment and foster growth to more efficient living. 🏙️ Most new innovations are adopted steadily rather than at a steep curve. 🏙️ Pure technology won’t fix everything. The best technological solutions are the ones that are connected to making the physical world and interactions easier. Shoutout to Gary Hao and his team for organizing an incredible event! #startupecosystem #startupjourney #startupfounder #healthtech
