Been quietly watching INSPIRED for a few months now and the thing that keeps standing out isn't the pitches — it's the middle conversations.
A regen systems strategist in Johannesburg arguing about externality pricing with a founder in Switzerland. A geospatial intelligence team in Brazil turning standing forests into a ledger line. A mobility startup in Paris working out how to get municipalities to say yes faster. Different problems, same underlying move: take something invisible in the system and make it legible enough to act on.
That's the actual plot of this platform.
We spend most of our time talking about AI and orchestration — but honestly, half the work is just watching operators, scientists, and founders from completely different domains converge on the same insight from different angles. That convergence is the signal. The tools are downstream.
Grateful to be in the room. More listening, less posturing, this week.
