The latest Silicon Valley DIGIGRAM is out:
Disruption can hit from corners unknown – TikTok users just did it! Two additional marks of disruption:
3. Disrupt those who are not looking! You just cannot afford to not look out.
4. Don’t automate, obliterate! New technology is an opportunity, not a threat.
And I don’t buy the reason Amazon gave for buying Zoox.
- What’s tops? Starts with a P and we can fix it.
- What’s not? Starts with a C and keeps me inside (still).

The latest Silicon Valley DIGIGRAM is out:
Disruption is not kind! And not over. What are marks of disruption?
1. Too comfy. Like the Swiss watchmakers. Now Apple sells more watches than them.
2. Disrupt yourself before others do it for you. Now YouTube sells more advertising than ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC together.
What’s tops? Starts with a T and almost makes money.
What’s not? Starts with a C and keeps me inside.

Let’s do something against plastic pollution. Join my class and develop solutions with companies like Danone and Faurecia. At UC Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship

Plastic is a big problem. World plastic production totaled 359 million tons in 2018, and production levels have grown steadily since 1950. It is estimated that 3-4% of plastic enters the ocean eventually creating ocean garbage patches such as the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is now tw...
