Tech to Reduce Human Suffering: Learn and Mastermind with Investor Bo Shao
SEE EVENT DETAILS
For the past few decades, technology has been create to make our lives simpler, and easier, and yet suffering, depression, and anxiety has continued to rise during this time.
This week we have Bo Shao, founder of Matrix Partners and Evolve Foundation, speaking about how technology can be used to help reduce human suffering and increase human well-being. You'll learn from someone who not only has an incredible personal story and journey through consciousness, but is also funding entreprenuers and startups with multiple funds (his newest $100million fund is going toward a Conscious Accelerator).
After Bo's talk we want audience members to lead breakout groups, which can include delving deeper into specific conversation topics, brainstorming app ideas, design masterminding, or just to get to know one another. Invite your entrepreneur friends or friends who are looking to do good in the tech world!
