On this week's Silicon Valley Insider, Keith has returning guest Jedidiah Yueh, Founder and Chairman of Silicon Valley Data Management company Delphix. Jed is well known in Silcon Valley for starting software companies with billions of USD in revenue including Avamar (a company acquired by EMC in the mid 2000s) and now as the author of best-selling book on innoviation "Disrupt or Die - What the World needs to Learn from the Silicon Valley to Survive"
Keith and Jed discussed Jed's concept of "Thin Tech" and how it relates to the challenge large companies have with "Turning the Titanic" (i.e. why is it so hard to innovate in large organizations). Jed gives very practical advice for companies to be able to innovate.
Jed states: "There's a powerful paradox at work in the world today. It's getting easier every year to invent a product that can disrupt a longstanding industry, a phenomenon I call "thin tech." And yet, legacy enterprises are finding it harder than ever to innovate. Stop chasing shiny tech objects (e.g. blockchain, AI, etc.) and find your "what"--the product that will help you take control of the future of your industry."
On an earlier episode of SVIN "Disrupt or Die" https://omny.fm/shows/the-silicon-valley-insider-show/svi-3-16-18-podcast-disrupt-or-die-with-jedidiah-y Jed discussed how many of the followed innovation books and models don't always work or yield the expected results.

On this week's Silicon Valley Insider, host Keith Koo sits down with Swati Chaturvedi who is the Co-Founder and CEO of Propel(x) an angel investment platform and community that is "Democratizing Angel Investing" by bringing startups, investors and subject matter experts together to make breakthrough investments. in Deep Technology.
Swati explains: "Propel(x) is an online angel investing platform focused on the niche of “deep technology” startups – that is, startups that are founded on a true technological innovation or scientific discovery. One of the key challenges for deep technology companies— which can be found in a diverse range of fields including computer science; energy and clean tech; telecom; life sciences; and, materials —is that they’re complex enough that you have to put in some effort to understand them properly. So there is a diligence aspect that’s required which we’re also providing on our platform."
Listen to how Swati and her co-founder Lisheng Wang got their start with the MIT Alumni Angel Investment group and how they found a need to provide an investment platform for "Deep Technology" and the challenges that very bright people (academics, scientists and engineers) have when trying to explain their ideas and products to lay people. That's where the due diligence using industry experts comes in.
Swati and Keith also explain how Propel(x) has unique benefits and how they have made angel investing accessible to investors of all sizes making Propel(x) a great platform to fundraise.
