Risks from malevolent actors

Abstract

This episode of The Deep End podcast features Ben Kuhn, CTO of Wave, a mobile payment company aiming to make Africa the first cashless continent. Topics discussed include how going cashless can alleviate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, the distinction between social enterprises and tech companies, and the importance of focusing innovation efforts on core business problems. Ben argues that startups should use “boring” solutions for non-essential aspects and reserve “innovation points” for addressing challenges directly related to the business’s mission. – AI-generated abstract.
