We talk a lot about what we're building. But what about why, and what kind of world it's actually creating? This session with Fred Destin, founder of Stride.VC and former GP at Accel and Accomplice, lifts the conversation to the systems level. Drawing on philosophy, Buddhism, and the simple act of paying attention, Fred will lead an honest exploration of our motivations, our state of mind, and what it really means to be building at this moment in history. Expect a different kind of conversation.

We are all passionate about innovation, entrepreneurship, and progress. But have you ever stopped to wonder about the kind of world we are actually building?
This session elevates the conversation to the systems level, while also diving into our own motivations and state of mind in this chaotic, fascinating world on the cusp of the singularity. Drawing on lessons from philosophy, Buddhism, psychedelics, and the simple act of paying attention, Fred will invite us into a deeper, more honest conversation about what we are all here to do.
