PREPARE FOR THE

BEAR!

Welcome to Startup Grind Princeton. Tonight I want to talk about what I think is the most important thing happening in the world right now — and what it means for all of us in this room. The title is Prepare for the bear! That's not hyperbole. The bear is real, it's moving fast, and it doesn't care how smart you are. Let's get into it.��I likely used Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI tools for various parts of this presentation.

***

Two campers and a bear.��Two campers are walking through the woods when a huge brown bear suddenly appears in the clearing in front of them. The bear sees the campers and begins to head towards them.

The first camper drops their backpack, digs out a pair of joggers, and frantically begins to put them on.

The second camper says: “What are you doing? Joggers won’t help you outrun that bear.”

“I don’t need to outrun the bear,” the first replies. “I just need to outrun you.”
