September 05, 2019

 


Hey Closers, did you miss us? We’ve been busy producing content for you guys in San Francisco at the Singularity University Global Summit (check out a video preview of what we experienced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okOZLgbB3Cg). While Ryan was away on vacation in Spain (we missed you!), Kevin and Becca tag-teamed at the Silicon Valley conference and recorded interviews with major entrepreneurs in the tech and innovation space.


This episode features Prukalpa Sankar, a major authority in the world of data. She has co-founded two data platform startups (SocialCopsAtlan), given a TED talk, and landed her name on many prestigious lists like Forbes 30 under 30 Asia, all by the age of……27.


Tune in to learn about:



  • how Prukalpa plans to solve the world’s greatest issues through the use of data


  • her argument as to why data is a good thing, in a world where we fear data and compromising internet privacy


  • why she believes that age doesn’t matter


  • what we need to do to get more women working in the STEM industry


  • which house Prukalpa thinks she would be in at Hogwarts
