Most exciting #startup of 2020 for me is, without question, @hypothes_is, built by @dwhly and team. We don’t invest even remotely enough in edtech, but #COVID19 is changing perspectives, needs, and priorities.

At least, now, #cybersecurity is exciting and dangerous (almost) like in the movies.
When I was in the field, 20y ago, it was significantly less glamorous.

In more seriousness, I think we haven’t seen anything yet. Wait for the adoption of #AI techniques to adapt attacks otg

More on the “Think strategically, but act tactically” slippery slope. This is a must-read example of how the first trillion dollar company shapes its next steps.

Think about it when you reassess if it’s worth bothering with a long-term roadmap:
