Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood

Happy Thursday,

Yesterday, we announced the eGames winners. 130+ students participated and 10 teams walked away with prizes that amounted to $100,000. Congrats to all the participants and the top winner Sani.

Thought of the day:

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less".

The Lineup:Top FiveEvents The Scoop

TOP FIVE

🚀Video / The team put together a quick recap video for the winners from eGames yesterday. Check it out.

🦄 Validation / The hardest thing for viable startups right now? Navigating remote hypotheses validation. Startup czar, Steve blank, came out with a relevant post that addresses some key points in "Customer Discovery In the Time Of the Covid-19 Virus".

🌵Trailblazing / I actually have no solid opinion about this "Silicon Valley Is Quietly Building Its Own Wall Street". If you do, give me a call or hit reply, virtual drinks on me.

👍Software / Does anyone actually use COBOL? Well, apparently the government. Read in "Our Government Runs on a 60-Year-Old Coding Language, and Now It’s Falling Apart".

🔢Bitcoin / Coming back to life. "Visa Teams With Startup Fold for Bitcoin Rewards on New Card". Still waiting on better wallet products, though.
