    I get it.
    I not only need to simplify complex contexts and shorten them to modern tiktok sized attention spans, but I need to structure them like childrens book so my conversation partner doesn’t lose interest.

    Why are we all trying to become experts on manipulating the psyches of other humans and monopolizing their attention?

    There’s gotta be better things we can do with our collective wisdom.

    I always wonder about the people in the audience for these goofy don’t -deserve-to-be-Ted-Talks. Did they actually pay to watch this? Are they the parents and this is high school talent night? Did the “content” creators round up some strangers and promise them a coupon for some Chik-fil-A?

    The greatest stories take the most time. Leave it to a kid to simply not be old enough to understand that. Nothing against her but for God’s sake something is wrong with our world when everything one needs to communicate has to be done in less than 60 seconds. I hope she learns the beauty of going slow and patience.

      Eh, that’s the life of the west, always in a hurry for no good reason at all.

      Extra info: I think she may just be referring to “online” or “listening” style content, as “stories” don’t work at all irl, you start with a dumb question and I ain’t gonna listen at all, or maybe it’s a technique for Lower intellect to follow along? Not sure

  18. @Learner945

    February 19, 2025 at 10:11 pm

    Really? 60 seconds? Why? Its because people used to watch shorts, reels and reducing their imagination and attention span. Great stories require long time to narrate, establish the premise, background, conflict.

  19. @ImaginThat

    February 20, 2025 at 6:22 am

    After 21 or 22 cuts I stopped counting that’s in a 1 minute and 9 second video. Insane in the membrane, just stop adding useless words and get to the point. This is our future reducing everything down to less than 60 seconds. Can’t wait to see how well this works for legislation. This is all about social media. Learned in school through SEL, social emotional learning, introduced into the curriculum decades ago by the Shriver’s, yep the Kennedy clan folks. It all about feelings , OMG…

Investors want founders who understand the financial reality of their business. Messy data, misunderstood metrics, or waiting until you’re nearly out of cash to start fundraising can cost founders leverage, valuation, and even a term sheet.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Sasha Orloff, founder and CEO of Puzzle and Startup Battlefield alum, to talk about what he’s learned from building companies that have raised more than $1 billion collectively.

Sasha breaks down what investors look for during fundraising, which financial metrics founders should know by heart, and why VCs don’t expect your startup to be perfect—they expect you to understand its reality. He also shares how he nearly lost a term sheet because his data room wasn’t ready, how fundraising diligence changes as a startup grows, and why getting your financial house in order can help founders raise with more confidence and leverage.

They get into:
– What raising more than $1 billion across multiple companies taught Sasha about fundraising
– Why investors value founders who have a strong grasp of their company’s financial reality
– The financial metrics founders should know before pitching VCs
How investor expectations change from pre-seed and seed through Series A, B, and beyond
– Why revenue growth and the quality of that revenue are critical fundraising metrics
– How runway, margins, sales efficiency, and profitability factor into investor decisions
– Why waiting until you’re running out of cash can hurt your fundraising leverage
– How Sasha nearly lost a term sheet because his data room wasn’t ready
– Why financial organization and compliance can influence investor confidence and startup valuations
– What founders should have prepared for the due diligence process
– Why VCs don’t expect perfection—and why being honest about what isn’t working can make for a stronger pitch
– How Sasha’s own fundraising and finance frustrations ultimately led him to build Puzzle
– How AI could change the way startups manage accounting and understand their financial health

How Satellites and AI Can Protect the Planet | Robbie Schingler | TED

Space technologist Robbie Schingler cofounded a satellite company that images the whole planet every day, making visible changes on Earth.

Space technologist Robbie Schingler cofounded a satellite company that images the whole planet every day, making visible changes on Earth. He shows how pairing that data with AI creates a “planetary intelligence” we can use to spot emerging threats we might not have seen otherwise. Now he asks: Can we close the gap between seeing a crisis coming and actually stopping it? (Followed by a note from TED guest curators Divya Siddarth and Audrey Tang) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
