Review: THE HIDDEN BRAIN by Shankar Vedantam is a fun read. It’s filled with stories about how our unconscious minds control much of what we do.
It’s similar to THINKING, FAST AND SLOW by Daniel Kahneman but less academic and more readable.
It’s filled with stories on how our subconscious can lead us to mistakes, when electing presidents, investing in stock markets, identifying criminals, and waging wars.

Larry Wang joined Founders Space as a mentor. He is the CTO of Information and Communications Labs with 1000 researchers for ICT technologies in Taiwan. This is a NGO research institute that works closely with the industry. He was also the founding CEO of Taiwan Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center which helped bring the best startups from Taiwan to Silicon Valley.
In the last 4 years, Larry has mentored over 100 startups (the majority in the seed and pre-seed stages) both in Silicon Valley and Taiwan, with 1/3 of the companies successfully raising funds. Based on his own personal entrepreneurial experience, he has mentored startups independently as well as in collaboration with tier-one accelerators in Silicon Valley. He places a strong emphasis on building a viable business model and gaining business traction. He is also keen on international collaborations, especially across the Pacific, and he works with many international startups.
In addition to collaborating with tier-one accelerators in Silicon Valley, he works closely with several VCs in both Silicon Valley and Taiwan, business consultants that help startups gain business traction, design houses, and ODMs that help startups with building MVP’s.
Review: I just read “The Sentient Machine” by Amir Husain. It’s an insightful and well-constructed overview of AI in today’s world. There’s no big idea, but it will give you a solid foundation for where things are headed. Husain is a computer scientist, but his writing is very readable, without a lot of jargon or technical terms.
Rating: ★★★★
This event is for startups, tech execs, engineers, angels, VCs, corporate and institutional investors, and tech professionals who need to understand investing and tech opportunities for blockchain, ICOs, tokens, bitcoins and crypto currency trends.
