5 Key Takeaways

1. Innovation is a culture change first, not a technology implementation - organizations must develop a growth mindset before focusing on technological transformation.
2. "Rabbits" (Real Actual Businesses Built on Interesting Technology) are what VCs are seeking - focus on solving real customer problems with innovative technology in large, growing markets.
3. By 2116, AI is projected to take all human jobs according to expert forecasts, but this creates unprecedented opportunities for entrepreneurs to build new solutions today.
4. The key to building high-performing teams is hiring people better than yourself, setting clear expectations, and fighting to get them the resources they need to succeed.
5. Everyone can innovate - it's simply introducing something new that solves a problem, and West believes making innovation education widely available can revitalize economies and democracy.
