Greg Adams was a Special Forces Team Leader in western Afghanistan.  He was responsible for coordinating with multiple types of organizations - from government to NGO to business - from US to Afghanistan to NATO partners.  He needed a common operating picture - to support a Common Operating Environment - particularly for keeping people safe.  He decided to build it.

In 2015, Greg along with his classmate from West Point Military Academy and Harvard School of Business, Chris Hurst, created Stabilitas. Obris invested in the seed round of funding, and we have been pleased with the development of Stabilitas ever since.

Given their significant growth, the success of our investment so far, and the unique solution they provide in global security, we believe that our viewers and listeners will be intrigued by an interview with Greg.

When I first met Brandon two years ago, he had just finished his undergrad degree in Neuroscience at Pitzer College. He was destined for medical school. Inspired by entrepreneurship and the emerging world of crypto, Brandon put med school on hold. He started investing in crypto while at university stemming from a fascination with Etherium.

In the months that followed, he wrote and published “The Satoshi Sequence,” a seminal book that discusses how blockchain technology will continue to evolve. I read The Satoshi Sequence shortly after it was published, and continue to rate is as an outstanding overview of blockchain.

In early 2018, Brandon started building a crypto mining operation. He also started a blockchain consulting business called BlockHash, which has evolved into the BlockHash Podcast that he now hosts. Visit the link to learn more: https://www.block-hash.io/podcast.html

Aly Moore joins us today. Aly is the co-founder of Entopian Capital, the first large scale VC fund that seeks to identify the winners in the insect as food and feed industry.

Aly's story is fascinating. After studying public health at Yale, Aly searched for a way to address the challenges to nutritiously feed our growing world population. She started the blog Bugible.com to support the growing insect agriculture industry and slowly grew a cult following on Instagram. To reach broader audiences, Aly created Eat Bugs Events, which as it sounds promotes insects as food through Bug & Wine Pairings, Bug Dinners & Bug Cooking Classes. 

Listen to the podcast to learn about Aly, her passion for bugs, and how she and the Entopian team are funding this cutting edge industry.
