The Next Great ThingLIVE from SXSW 2024: The Paradox of Loneliness and TechnologyTechnology connects us more than ever. Yet, we feel lonelier than ever. Worldwide, one in four adults (more than a billion people) feel lonely. And 36% of all Americans — including 61% of young adults aged 18-25 — feel “serious loneliness.” It’s gotten so bad that, in 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a health advisory about America’s loneliness epidemic, equating social disconnection to the physical health risks to that of drinking alcohol, obesity, physical inactivity, and even smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In this session from SXSW 2024, Andrew Greenstein, Co-Founder and CEO at SF AppWorks and host of ‘The Next Great Thi...2024-03-271h 04

The Next Great ThingMatteo Franceschetti, Co-Founder & CEO, Eight Sleep - The tech optimizing our sleep fitnessWe’re constantly looking for ways to track, goal-set, and optimize our physical fitness. Why don’t we do the same with sleep – something we spend one-third of our life doing and foundational to our health? This question was Matteo Franceschetti's "ah-ha" moment. A former competitive athlete, Matteo has had a lifelong obsession with optimizing recovery and personal performance. Sleep is not just rest, he realized; it's fitness.

Americans trash 11.3 million tons of textiles annually – a whopping 2,150 garments every second! The fashion industry, especially fast fashion, is also one of the world's biggest polluters, responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness each year. And yet, only about half of those who need mental health care receive it – often because of a lack of access to affordable, quality care. Increasingly, people are turning to technology to feel better. But, how do you design health tech to be as effective as traditional mental health care? And where does generative AI fit in? We explore these questions and more with Leslie Witt, Ch...2023-04-2533 min

The Next Great ThingBrennan Spellacy, Co-Founder & CEO, Patch - Simplifying Carbon Markets to Unite Climate ActionWe’re at a global climate tipping point. Along with policymakers, public-private partnerships, and political will, technology is central to solving our planet's biggest existential threat. One solution that’s gaining momentum: buying and selling carbon credits. The market value for carbon credits is huge – it could be worth more than $50 billion by the end of the decade. But accessing these markets can be complex, and navigating them can demand significant investments of time and resources for businesses. But what if helping remove carbon from the atmosphere was as easy as a click of a button? Brennan Spellacy is the Co...2023-04-0433 min

The Next Great ThingJeff McGregor, CEO, Truepic - Authenticating what’s real in a deepfake, synthetic worldBefore the decade is out, over 90% of all the content on the internet will be artificially generated. From deepfakes of famous faces to flattering (or not-so-flattering) Instagram and TikTok filters, we've already seen a glimpse of what's possible. But as generative AI rapidly evolves and becomes more widespread, fake media is getting real… deceptively real. Separating fact from fiction will soon become nearly impossible, and, left unchecked, the proliferation of fake and manipulated digital content will lead to the dangerous erosion of trust and transparency in institutions, services, relationships, and society. But Jeff McGregor sees a more optimistic future. As...2023-03-2230 min

But there's a massive opportunity to revolutionize the way people buy homes, and it all starts with how the experience is designed. That’s Jenny Arde...2022-12-1434 min

The Next Great ThingDorothy Li, CTO, Convoy - Building Elastic Capacity in Freight (And Saving the Planet, Too)Look around you. Chances are, most of what you see has, at some point, been shipped on a truck and driven around by a truck driver. Trucking is a massive, $800 billion industry in the U.S. — 80% of every dollar spent moving freight is spent on trucking. Despite its size and scale, America’s traditional freight network of brokers, shippers, and carriers is fragmented, inefficient, and antiquated. It’s also harming the planet. Nearly 35% of all trucks on the road are empty, and all those empty miles create 87M metric tons of carbon emissions a year. But trucking’s digital transfor...2022-11-2919 min

The Next Great ThingJasmine Crowe-Houston, Founder & CEO, Goodr - Solving food waste and hunger (with the same app)Every year we throw away nearly 40% of our nation's food supply – perfectly edible – leaving it to rot in landfills and release harmful greenhouse gasses. Meanwhile, more than 10% of U.S. households are food insecure. Why do we throw this food away instead of getting it to people in need? Hunger isn’t a scarcity problem, it's a logistical one. That’s according to Jasmine Crowe-Houston, the founder and CEO of Goodr, an Atlanta-based startup that’s using technology to fight both battles: food waste and food insecurity.

The Next Great ThingShravan Goli, Chief Product Officer, Coursera - Online learning is the future of workNearly 100 million new digital jobs are projected to emerge in the next five years, while another 85 million will be displaced. But with a global shortage of tech talent, there simply aren’t enough highly skilled workers available in areas like data science, programming, cybersecurity, and engineering. Businesses are therefore looking internally to upskill and reskill their employees. At the same time, workers in industries outside of tech are eager to learn new skills, get certified, and earn new degrees to level up their careers -- all at their own pace to fit their busy lives. And, they’re learning it a...2022-09-2824 min

In 2022, EVs account for about 8% of all vehicles sold in America, but in the next 10 to 15 years that figure could approach 100%. But there are plenty of roadblocks ahead – most notably, our EV charging infrastructure. Charging today is a fragmented and frustrating experience, full of disparate hardware, unreliable networks, inconvenient locations, and wonky mobile apps. Zak Lefevre, Co-Founder and CEO of ChargeLab, is creating a smarter, more seamless way to charge our EVs. His team is building an intelligent, open-source soft...2022-07-2631 min

Many of us experienced the effects of this first-hand during the height of the pandemic. But for millions of senior citizens, there is no escape from social isolation as they get older. The impact is devastating, often resulting in increased rates of depression and anxiety and an increased risk of stroke, heart disease, and dementia.

Or, dealing with an automated customer service phone assistant (and ending up yelling, “Representative!” in frustration just to speak to a human being!). Either way, the robot on the other end doesn’t really understand and treat us like a human. But what if it did? What if it had human “soft skills,” like empathy and humor? What if it actively listened and could read between the lines of your semantic subtleties? And, what if, like humans, it learned and got better at listening to and understanding you? That is exac...2022-05-3122 min

The Next Great ThingDonna Boyer, Chief Product Officer, Teladoc Health - The virtual doctor will see you nowMillions of Americans struggle to afford and access health care. Some delay seeking care because they lack transportation or child care. Others are simply too nervous to visit a doctor’s office. All these issues hinder people’s ability or willingness to see a doctor, which, in turn, directly impacts their health. But the rise of telehealth is starting to change all that – especially since the start of the pandemic, when virtual everything became the norm.
