I am taking the day off from Uncertainty Wednesday because today is our portfolio company summit. It is a day I look forward to every year where many of the founders and CEO of our portfolio companies come together.
We have been holding this unconference style for many years. The day maximizes the room for small group conversations around topics that have been generated by the participants. The net result is a high quality and open exchange of experiences and opinions, which contributes to strong relationships that last through the year. One of the key messages we want people to take away from is that they are not alone but have a strong peer group they can access any time.
There will also be a couple of topics that we will dig into with the entire group. Two years ago we covered blockchain. Last year we had an extensive discussion about privacy. This year we will talk about building organizations that foster grit. We will also spend time on the importance of Machine Learning for all companies, not just those that are offering a Machine Learning product or service.
P.S. Uncertainty Wednesday will resume next Wednesday. We will look at how to measure uncertainty.
