Greetings from Ann Arbor!
At the latest 21 Hats Live event, there are no speakers -- only participants.
Good Morning!
Here are today’s highlights:
Lou Mosca says entrepreneurs are always optimistic, but uncertainty is a killer.
Renewable energy has been booming in Texas (until now).
Whitney Wolfe Herd has been behind two big innovations in dating apps. She’s shooting for another.
WISH YOU WERE HERE
This impressive group of entrepreneurs has been hanging out in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this week, comparing notes, getting inspired, and eating a lot of good food courtesy of the nice folks at Zingerman’s. Thursday we took a tour of Nawal Motawi’s tile-making operation, talked through a slew of AI use cases, and compared notes on marketing strategies. We also recorded the first of two podcasts. More to come!
Feeling some FOMO? Well then, be sure to save the date. Next year’s 21 Hats Live event will run from May 13 to May 15. Details to come.
