so… are Tech Trek alums a thing? if so, I think I just became one 🫣 final blog post is up, bittersweet feeling reflecting on the semester but couldn’t have asked for a better experience in #BCSTT!

@BFalkenhayn I am so surprised by this!! Seems like quite the transition but his energy will be transformational no matter the organization #BCSTT

@sophiaacassidy 🤭🫶 - I wonder how long it takes to make a new emoji / how they decide which ones make the final cut #BCSTT

@christielee22 @RicElias @brian_wassersug One of if not the best speaker this semester. His advice and perspective on life gave me chills at some points. I will never forget that conversation #BCSTT

Has anyone heard of Truth Social / used it before?? I just checked and it is still ranked above Twitter following TikTok and Google Maps. With such a high ranking I’m curious about their marketing / target audience as I have never heard of it before #BCSTT

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Truth Social is currently beating Twitter & TikTok on the Apple Store

read this thread! I think it highlights all of our #BCSTT speakers’ best advice so far👇

Everyone wants to tell you what to do.

Not me.

I'm going to tell you what NOT to do.

@Anabel_Stav Great post Anabel!! My best friend at home uses ring cameras around her house, and through her family’s experience living in a city it is clear they are a great tech application in home security #BCSTT

after WIN’s Female Founders Panel tonight our two amazing speakers confirmed that fellow founders are the best mentors #BCSTT

check your weekly screen time report then read my blog post to see how your screens could be messing with your sleep 😴 #BCSTT

Interesting article about how tech is breaking into the TV industry, just as it did with music and books- read more to learn how & why 👇 #BCSTT

@CharlesWork13 great blog post! I definitely notice the difference brought by 5G. I feel like my phone is never really slow or lagging anymore but it’s only a matter of time until 6G will be needed #BCSTT

@reganhayes_ Doesn’t Hulu do this already? I’m surprised Netflix hasn’t offered this as short ads clearly do not prevent users from engaging with platforms such as Hulu or YouTube #BCSTT

thankful for the opportunity to participate in the Amity Ventures Sourcing Case Competition, run by Peter Bell and @bcvcpe!

AI is really being applied to all aspects of our lives (and after lives?) … read more to see how you can make an avatar of your loved ones #BCSTT

[Madeline Renbarger @maddierenbarger]

I spoke with 9 founders of "death tech" startups who are looking to shake up the end-of-life industry with products like AI chatbots of your loved ones and cremation into diamonds or memory stones. Check it out in @BusinessInsider https://t.co/Z9N9veEQsy

As a big shark tank fan, it was so cool to hear little bits about Doug Mack’s personal experience with Mr Wonderful- “You have to make money, if you dont make money it's a hobby not a business” I feel like Bernard Kim would agree too. #BCSTT

[abby soja @soja_abby]

@AlisonBreen4 I agree!! I think a CEO is necessary to keep some order and stability but other than that, trial and error drives a startup and with too many defined roles, people might not take as many risks. #BCSTT

[abby soja @soja_abby]

@franhodg i love m&ms but its feels a bit odd trying to determine how a candy scores on trust and community impact #BCSTT

[abby soja @soja_abby]

As I pick my classes for next semester l, the #BCSTT speakers have been a huge help in reminding me to follow what I am interested in not what I think a job requires. Their mix of degrees proves these classes are not going to determine my career 🙌 #BCSTT

[abby soja @soja_abby]

Got amazing advice from Peter Bell during the @amityventures sourcing case comp workshop. One big takeaway: if a founder recommends another founder, drop everything and look into that company. A rec from a founder is most valuable. #BCSTT
