Fish consumption is on the rise, but the earth's exploitable fish supply is dwindling. And becoming more polluted. And expensive. Finless Foods is looking to solve this scarcity with biotechnology. CEO Mike Selden explains his clean fish, an affordable, healthy, sustainable seafood he's growing with cutting-edge cell culture tech. And Jason tastes it!

Today: two startups making a difference in the world. First, AID:Tech uses blockchain to prevent donation fraud by issuing digital identities to the undocumented -- thus combatting the 4.4 trillion dollars lost each year because of fraud corruption and lack of transparency. Jason talks to co-founder Naill Dennehy.  Second, RoboKind robots teach social & emotional skills to children with autism. This technology is very effective, as these children have trouble with traditional therapy; the robots' curriculum engage them 87% of the time, compared to 3% with therapists using the same curriculum. Co-founder Richard Margolin joins remotely with the robots to demo.

At LAUNCH SCALE 2017, Jason sits down with two leaders defining the future of investment. Chamath Palihapitiya, who grew Facebook and went on to found VC powerhouse Social Capital, sets us straight on the state of venture capital and markets today, and what we need to do to win. It’s a turbulent time to say the least; investors need to help founders hunker down and restructure how they’re spending money and get their business models working for escape velocity. (Hint: this does not include the use of ICOs, for which Chamath has many choice words….) Next is David Eun, President of Samsung NEXT who talks to Jason about his formidable work at AOL and Google, which led to him to Samsung and helping founders and startups. David nurtures innovation by meeting entrepreneurs wherever they are, a strategy that’s paying off with 23 (and counting) acquisitions in transformative software, including Smart Things leader in smart home. Exciting days.
