In this fast-paced hour, we'll distill their groundbreaking research on 'knowledge elites + creative destruction + institutional rule-bending' into a one-page canvas you can plug straight into your pitch deck. Walk away with tools to position your startup as inevitable to investors, not just another “better app”.
