This was my first email update to about 20 people …
Hello! From very humble beginnings, the Accelerator is starting to take shape. This week, the excitement has grown significantly and I am energized by conversations with investors, entrepreneurs and a significant potential sponsor. Many additional connections are being made in the days to come. The redesign of the Accelerator space is done and construction could start in the next two weeks. The website (to be built) is briia.io.
As you know, the accelerator will be focused on data science – including artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, big data, natural language processing and deep learning. These domains are producing daily breakthroughs in some of humanity’s toughest problems, from disease detection to making our cities smarter.
One of the questions I get a lot is: how can I help? I’m always honored by the question and in awe of the willingness of people to contribute to the success of this emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem.
But since you asked, I’ve put together a list of things I could use help with in the attached pdf. The idea is that if you see something therein that inspires you to say “I can do that!” please drop me an email, text or phone call and let me know of your interest. I’ll try to coordinate things a bit just so we don’t have multiple people doing the same thing or working at cross purposes on any of these items.
Feel free to pass this update on to entrepreneurs, data scientists, investors, etc. who may be interested in getting connected to the BRIIA project. For the benefit of the community, its important that information flow easily and rapidly.
And, in the spirit of the ecosystem, if there’s anything I can do for you, please let me know!
