563: Next-Gen Aging: The Venture Capital Perspective with James Hueston

Sami is joined by James Hueston, venture investor at Primetime Partners, as they discuss technology’s failure to connect with the older generation. James explains how technology aimed at older people is often not fit for purpose, how the investment process for new startups is currently swamped with the same AI ideas, and Sami explores the idea of how AI can help improve loneliness in our modern world. — If you’d like to hear more about the importance of keeping accessibility at the forefront every project, check out Episode 559.
