At this year’s TED conference in Vancouver, Vinod Koshla started his speech by saying the following:
“Experts extrapolate the past… and do harm when people believe them!“
and
“Entrepreneurs, with passion for a vision, invent the future they want”
Over the last twelve to eighteen months and in light of the raise of AI, there have been a lot of discussions about who is going to drive innovation in the future – big corporates or agile venture businesses. With his two sentences, Vinod Koshla answered it to-the-point. Except for biotechnology, all major innovations over the last decades have been driven by entrepreneurs with a bold vision and idea. Google, Apple, Microsoft, WhatsApp, Tesla and most recently OpenAI started like that.
