Just back from one of my favorite conferences: Reversing the Arrow at USD's Knauss School of Business
Leaving with a notebook full of new ideas about how #entrepreneurship shapes society, often in unexpected ways (and maybe a tan?).
Looking forward to being a part of this panel at @mitsloan.bsky.social with three amazing scholars - join if you can!

Great view of #institutions as “social technologies” that scale trust from small groups to nations by @jliep.bsky.social. Tl;dr - institutions reduce coordination problems to the task of managing small groups of "guardians". But they only work where #socialcapital is strong.

Strong ties are valuable, but how do we build them? Janice McCabe at @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social suggests strong ties form when your identity is shifting (new parent, new city, new passion) and others are, too. For deeper connections, find spaces that match who you’re becoming.

Had the incredible pleasure of joining the brilliant Anita McGahan for her Private Innovation in the Public Interest series with the Burnes Center at @northeasternu.bsky.social
We covered a ton of ground at the intersection of #socialcapital and #entrepreneurship. Links in the post below this one.
Studying #socialnetworks is hard: the #econometrics can get messy and the major breakthroughs happened decades ago. But here’s the thing: human minds evolved for social life. So, networks are the environments we inhabit, and they effect our well-being as such.

The biggest VC-backed capital infusion in history?
NVIDIA may invest up to $100B in OpenAI.
Beyond the number: compute is the new foundation for growth. As Sam Altman says: “Compute infrastructure will be the basis for the economy of the future.”

It was a great conference, @buildit.bsky.social. And, I got to see some of your joint work with Tim Ott. Really fascinating stuff - hopefully we'll cross paths somewhere soon!
