About this Episode

Welcome to the Scinary Information Nexus! This week, fueled by our friends at Southern Roots Brewing and AdiraNow, we're on camera to pull back the curtain on one of the tech world's most powerful and misunderstood forces: Venture Capital.

Join CEO Richard Martin, SOC Managers Mario Ortiz and Joseph Hamilton, and Director of Strategic Initiatives Brazos Wortham as we dissect the high-stakes world of VC funding.

We expose:

  • The VC Gamble
  • Is Your Pension at Risk?
  • The TikTok Ban Hypocrisy
  • Hype Over Diligence
  • Exit Strategy Over Everything
  • The Transparency Black Hole

Is the tech industry built on a foundation of responsible innovation or just a high-stakes casino game played with other people's money? Join the discussion.
