🔮 Excited to share the Annual Hannah Grey VC Cultural Vibrations Journal: Shifting Ground 2025! Link to download the content in the comments below.
The 2025 Cultural Vibrations Journal explores the speed of technological advancement and its collective impact. We’re thrilled to introduce the Vibrations Index, tracking cultural readiness for emerging technologies through proprietary longitudinal research on shifting perceptions and interests. This research-driven approach includes a growing pool of 275+ data points that uncover early demand, interest shifts, and potential adoption curves.
As AI acceptance grows, how will we evolve—personally, professionally, and as a society—in response to ambitions and concerns around emerging technologies? This is not a time for conventional thinking; societies and cultures are shape-shifting before our eyes. It’s our collective responsibility to manage our relationship with the algorithm and determine how we harness innovation for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our businesses.
As an early-stage venture capital firm, our team explored these tensions to understand the ripple effects and sharpen our lens as investors. The result: 62 pages of thought-provoking content about how technology is rewiring everyday potential. We are excited to debut this year’s lineup of exclusive commentary, plus interviews and perspectives from these incredible contributors:
