Summit, IBM supercomputer is our recent hero in the fight against Covid-19

The looming threat of Covid-19 and the grim reality of the toll that novel coronavirus takes on humankind, makes it imperative that we find a way to prevent the spread faster and with less cost.Currently nine out of ten drug therapies fail mostly between phase 1 trials and regulatory approval.

50 Entertainment Angel Investors

When it comes to funding entertainment there are a few ways to skin an allegorical cat. There are prerelease sales, crowdfunding, donations, funding grants, fiscal sponsors, business loans and sponsors. The trend term of the digital age is venture capital, VC, and the darlings of venture capitalists are Angel Investors.

“An angel investor is an individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity. Angel investors usually give support to start-ups at the initial moments and when most investors are not prepared to back them.” Wikipedia

There are too many blogs about how to get funding and probably most of them are clickbait by fake influences. Fake social media influencers and fake experts are a bigger problem than you think, but that is for another article. So instead I’ve compiled a list of Angel Investors mostly in Silicone Valley and San Francisco who are interested in financing entertainment projects.

Diversity on Boards

In 1995, when I began doing diversity training for employees at @IBM, there was often some resistance among corporations. Some felt that it was better to not “open a can of worms”. At IBM, a grand diversity initiative was started by Ted Childs Jr., who is widely recognized as the leading corporate diversity expert. 

At the core of the diversity training, we focused on how workplaces that become…
