GTM14 - Preparing for the Future, with Steve Brown, Futurist, Author and previous Evangelist at Intel

Notion Capital - enterprise tech startups

For this season finale, we invited Steve Brown to embark on the journey of what's next.

Via his fathers job as a Physics lecturer, Steve was introduced to science and technology at a very early age - and that sense of magic has never left him. After studying how to make a computer, he went on to have a fascinating career with the one and only Intel, avoiding the well trodden traditional career trajectory, opting instead to move through marketing, events, planning and labs, before finally becoming an Intel Futurist. This inspired Steve to become an independent Futurist, helping companies and organisations think through the digital challenges they were facing, and how new and emerging technologies could influence their own futures. As a well respected speakers and author, it’s fascinating to hear Steve talk through the technologies he sees making an impact, use cases from companies using them and how emerging technologies could be very disruptive. Now, as a Portland native, he talks through the local investing scene, and what he likes to see in a company before he considers investing. A great listen for those thinking about where to go next in their company and personal journeys.

Highlights:
- History shows companies that invest in tech will outperform their peers
- We’re moving from work-life balance to work-life fusion
- Industry 5.0 brings the Humans back to life

- The role of 5G in enabling IoT
