A Founder’s Exponential Toolset with Azeem Azhar & James Currier
In this episode, Azeem Azhar and James Currier discuss exponential growth in technology, the Internet's role in accelerating advancements, and the societal implications. They also delve into the concept of regulatory innovation, the impact of fast-paced tech development, health data sharing, and the integration of crypto in various industries.
Visionary Founders, instead of solving market failures or fixing problems that are clear, push market evolution. They commit to pushing society to the upward bend of the exponential technology curve.
Today, our friend Azeem Azhar, former VC-backed Founder, creator of The Exponential View blog, and author of the new book The Exponential Age, gives Founders specific hooks and non-obvious ways of explaining how quickly something’s going to change — right before it does.
For Founders, market needs are often a lagging indicator of technological progress. In many cases, like the iPhone, we didn’t even know that we needed a thing, until the thing made us want it.
