Now that the whirlwind that was London Tech Week has subsided, I find myself drawing valuable insights from the event. It was a fusion of AI, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, all of which are integral to my work and the enterprises I'm involved in. The event was a bustling hub for three days straight, from 10th to 12th June. However, with all the engaging follow-up meetings, it extended into a full week, and a rather busy one. I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse interactions with my peers from the finance and investment sectors, startup founders, co-founders, and individuals from a wide array of backgrounds. The enriching panel discussions, keynote speeches, and roundtable talks provided fresh perspectives that are crucial in our rapidly changing tech landscape. However, the event was not without its hiccups. The wifi, unfortunately, was a bit of a letdown. Here's hoping the organizers can rectify this in the upcoming edition. Going forward, I am excited to continue the meaningful dialogues sparked at the event. I am eagerly anticipating my upcoming meetings with some of my connections during my visits to the Middle East and Far East, and at the Collision Conf, including with @Hans Larsen, Chikako Kondo, Mark Hedley's team, Jayne Chan, among others. Here's to pushing boundaries in tech and innovation! #Innovation #Funding #Startups #Investment #AngelInvestor #Technology #PropTech #LondonTechWeek

Investment Week in LA was an eye-opener for me. I went in expecting to learn about new trends, but I came out with so much more. The people I met blew me away. From casual chats with AI researchers to in-depth discussions with VC partners, every conversation added a new layer to my understanding of where tech is headed. It wasn’t just about networking; I found myself forming genuine connections with folks who share my passion for innovation. What really struck me was the focus on AI, deep tech, and sustainable solutions. It’s clear these aren’t just buzzwords – they’re shaping the future of our industry. Listening to speakers like Bryan Johnson and Spencer Rascoff, I realized how these technologies are set to disrupt traditional sectors in ways we’re only beginning to grasp. The energy was infectious. Despite the challenges we face in tech – ethical concerns, regulatory hurdles – there was this overwhelming sense of optimism. People genuinely believe in technology’s power to solve big problems, and that enthusiasm is contagious. It’s not just about the next big app anymore; we’re talking about tech that could fundamentally change how we live and work. If you’re in tech or investments and feeling a bit lost in the rapid changes, events like this are invaluable. They’re not just about learning – they’re about finding your tribe, the people who get your vision and can help you refine it. I’m already looking forward to next year.In this fast-paced industry, staying connected and informed isn’t just helpful – it’s essential. And Investment Week? It’s definitely become a key part of how I plan to do that. STARTUPSTARTER see you at the next one! 🙌🏼🌴 #InvestmentWeek #TechInnovation #AItech #DeepTech #VentureCapital #Womenintech #FutureOfTech #StartupLife #TechCommunity #InvestorInsights #LAtech #TechDisruption #SustainableTech #InnovationMindset #TechOptimism

Wheels down. Wheels up again. Looking forward to spending time with the B21 Ventures and BOND.AI community and talk about my career path and the founding principles of Unconventional Ventures. How can we best leverage technology to level the playing field — to create a more just and digitally inclusive future for more, regardless of where they come from? How can we live and work together for the common good? Beyond profits, what are our collective responsibilities to the society? Access to healthcare and education should not be a privilege available only to those who can afford it. With Heart. Empathy. Passion. Focus. And You — our community. Let's rewrite the rules. And reframe the narrative. Because the future — our future — is worth fighting for. #Purpose #Impact #Innovation #RewriteTheRules | Uday Akkaraju |
