Welcome to the 1776 newsletter—your pulse on trends and startups innovating in industries that matter. Here you’ll find news on education, energy, health and cities, followed by events and classes where we hope to see you.
Two must-read articles this week are Michael Vidikan's article on how privacy attitudes impact companies large and small, as well as 1776 startup member Emmy Harbo's perspective on how much your privacy is really worth.
In Challenge Cup news, we just wrapped up in New York City and are headed out to Tel Aviv and Amman next. Don't forget to see if we're coming to your city in the next several months -- we'd love to see you!
There's a lot more to read this week on 1776, so keep scrolling!
