SO, are you going to share the candidates prior to the retreat?

Can we vote on people we feel should be there?

Can we see their submission videos?

This will be the new model for accelerators moving forward. Condense the most valuable interactions down to a few days and watch the magic happen. Cheaper, less time intensive, and more effective.

“Finally solving Physics?” Yikes.

Well I think it's clear that the Silicon Valley folks (rightly or wrongly) are getting frustrated by the focus on "incremental innovation" in technology and it sounds like this is one attempt to foster more ambitious innovation.

I see tremendous value in these efforts to enrich networks, but have no hope of getting through :( . All I see as answers to entry questions are sure not to give a pass.

Are there comparable venues for much larger sets of people? Those who can't brag about particularly nice answers to entry questions?

I personally like these questions together:

• If you could have the resume you want, what would it say?

• If you could write your eulogy, what would it say?

(As the company/manager/advisor: How can we help you to get there?)
