Brian Chau: noticing with technology + investigative journalism

Special Note: Palladium Magazine will host a talk on September 10th in the Bay on my piece The Native Americans Before the Native Americans. Reserve your seats!On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Brian Chau. A graduate of the University of Waterloo and former software engineer with a background in pure mathematics, today Chau is CEO of Effort.News. He was previously with The Alliance for the Future.Most of this conversation is around why it took so long to put together something like Effort.News, and what they’ve discovered (e.g., “The 19th-century Family Fortunes Funding Degrowth”). Chau also discusses their recruitment and capital needs as a seed-stage startup. This is a public episode.
