On this episode of Silicon Valley Insider, Joshua Lee, CEO of Ardius (a Gusto company) discusses how any company that has research and development expenses in technology, science or process can be eligible for significant R&D tax credits.

On this episode of Silicon Valley Insider, Keith Koo's guest is Greg Magarshak, Founder and CEO of QBIX a platform based on open source software that wants to change the world.
QBIX believes:
"There needs to be an open source software platform that any community anywhere in the world can run on local intranets, whether it’s a university in Bulgaria or a village in Africa. Collaborating on a document shouldn’t need the signal to go to google docs servers. Making plans with friends, or booking a reservation locally shouldn’t need Facebook.
This is the future of social networking."

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
On this week's Silicon Valley Insider, host Keith Koo re-airs a very popular show with special guest Gary Smith who is the Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics at Pomona College in Claremont, Ca. Gary was also a professor at Yale and has written over 80 academic papers and 13 books and with his most recent being "The AI Delusion". With all the news regarding "Artificial Intelligence" and how this technology is rapidly advancing, Gary and Keith have a rational dialog on what AI currently is and where it is headed.
Keith and Gary talk about why Gary wrote his book and why AI is not yet ready to take over the world. AI is good for very specific tasks but not yet ready for task that involve critical thinking or human judgment. Gary is noted for a term he uses frequently "torturing data" in reference to finding causation in any data set whether valid or not. As a reminder, "correlation is not causation".
Gary's book is available on Amazon.com
For the Cyber-Tip of the week, Keith talks about what to do if you had files lost from the Windows 10 upgrade.
In next week's show, Keith will intereview Jotham Ty who is the Founder and CEO of Gappify a Silcion Valley startup developing accounting "bots". Instead of training entry level accountants, Joatham is training people to develop accounting bots. Tune in next week to about Gappify.

On this week's Silicon Valley Insider, host Keith Koo speaks with Thomas Nimmo, CEO of Cybefense, a company transforming how technology risk assessments are done and how they are paid for. As regular listeners know, Keith Koo is an expert on Technology Risk and speaks frequently on the need for companies to completely and accurately risk assess their vendors, partners and other third parties.
Cyber risk assessments can easily start at $10,000 USD for a customer to evaluate whether a third-party (or vendor) meets minimum risk standards. For many small and medium businesses the cost of risk assessments are cost prohibitive and they simply forgo doing them even when mandated through laws and regulations (banking, financial services, healthcare, automotive, insurance, etc...) These small businesses take a gamble that they won't have a devastating attack on their critical infrastructure and vendors. However, as we often hear in the news data breaches and cyber-attacks are indiscriminate and can affect organizations large and small. Small and medium businesses who lack the resources and investment in systems can be taken down quite easily without the proper controls.
Cyberfense's approach is to make the cost of risk assessments free to the end customer by providing incentives for the third-party (or vendor). This approach empowers small and medium businesses (such as insurance brokers) to get the information they need to protect themselves.
Listen to the show to hear all the details on how you can get 1) free risk assessments and 2) get your third-party (or vendor) to respond to the risk assessments.

On this week's Silicon Valley Insider, Keith has returning guest Jedidiah Yueh, Founder and Chairman of Silicon Valley Data Management company Delphix. Jed is well known in Silcon Valley for starting software companies with billions of USD in revenue including Avamar (a company acquired by EMC in the mid 2000s) and now as the author of best-selling book on innoviation "Disrupt or Die - What the World needs to Learn from the Silicon Valley to Survive"
Keith and Jed discussed Jed's concept of "Thin Tech" and how it relates to the challenge large companies have with "Turning the Titanic" (i.e. why is it so hard to innovate in large organizations). Jed gives very practical advice for companies to be able to innovate.
Jed states: "There's a powerful paradox at work in the world today. It's getting easier every year to invent a product that can disrupt a longstanding industry, a phenomenon I call "thin tech." And yet, legacy enterprises are finding it harder than ever to innovate. Stop chasing shiny tech objects (e.g. blockchain, AI, etc.) and find your "what"--the product that will help you take control of the future of your industry."
On an earlier episode of SVIN "Disrupt or Die" https://omny.fm/shows/the-silicon-valley-insider-show/svi-3-16-18-podcast-disrupt-or-die-with-jedidiah-y Jed discussed how many of the followed innovation books and models don't always work or yield the expected results.

Swati explains: "Propel(x) is an online angel investing platform focused on the niche of “deep technology” startups – that is, startups that are founded on a true technological innovation or scientific discovery. One of the key challenges for deep technology companies— which can be found in a diverse range of fields including computer science; energy and clean tech; telecom; life sciences; and, materials —is that they’re complex enough that you have to put in some effort to understand them properly. So there is a diligence aspect that’s required which we’re also providing on our platform."
Listen to how Swati and her co-founder Lisheng Wang got their start with the MIT Alumni Angel Investment group and how they found a need to provide an investment platform for "Deep Technology" and the challenges that very bright people (academics, scientists and engineers) have when trying to explain their ideas and products to lay people. That's where the due diligence using industry experts comes in. Swati and Keith also explain how Propel(x) has unique benefits and how they have made angel investing accessible to investors of all sizes making Propel(x) a great platform to fundraise.First airing is 1-2pm on 1220AM KDOW

Silicon Valley Insider host Keith Koo and guests Hob Khadka, Founder and CEO of Xceltrip and Kumar Pandey, Founder and CTO of iBriz.ai discuss how Xceptrip is creating a decentralized (i.e. Blockchain) Travel Ecosystem to disrupt the travel industry as we know it. Xceltrip intends to cut out the many intermediaries involved in a travel booking such as air flights and hotel bookings. Xceltrip uses a network of IMPs (Indepedent Marketing Partner) which is analogous to an "uberlized" travel agent with the benefits of not needing to belong to an agency and share the revenue. Better than the Uber business model, the IMP also gets to share in all future revenue with the rental locations they bring into the eco system. Hob also discusses his vision to continue to sign up IMPs as well as move into other travel related use cases.
Keith, Hob and Kumar discuss the technology behind blockchain and how the Xceltrip team did not conduct an ICO or pre-sale. The project was entirely self funded. Hob talks about Xceltrip's airdrop* and Kumar explains the mechanics behind an airdrop. Keith explains some best practices to stay as safe as possible after receiving tokens from an air drop. Listen to the podcast to find out the location of their airdrop*
