PR Newswire – San Francisco, CA – October, 1 –
The final day of GMIC Silicon Valley continued with founders and educators who are using technology in surprising ways.
Max Ventilla, founder of AltSchool explained their innovative educational model that combines lower student:teacher ratios with very capable educators and technology in the classroom, but as Ventilla pointed out, “The most important technologies are actually invisible from the classroom. The thing that technology does best is bring down the cost of complexity.”
Akeem Brow and Brandon Nicholson of Hidden Genius Project, an Oakland program to connect young black men with the skills, mentors, and experiences they need to become high-performing entrepreneurs and technologists, made the case for diversifying the tech workforce with data around diversity and economic impact.

G-Startup
The crowning jewel of Global Mobile Internet Conference Silicon Valley, G-Startup gives young, hungry mobile-focused companies an opportunity to shine. The “g” initially stood for Global, for a multitude of reasons, the attendee base is global, the scale of vision is global, and so forth. This competition is a unique opportunity to get in front of tastemakers and open up funding opportunities.
G-Startup began in 2013 to bring smart, innovative teams from all around the world to the forefront.
The first G-Startup winner, Open Garden, would revolutionize how first-world and emerging countries connected to each other by creating personalized Internet access. The service has played a pivot role in use cases as varied as Russian protests, music festivals and enterprise communications.
STEMP, last year’s G-Startup winner, won GMIC SV over with its smart take on the human thermometer. The Internet of Things device received an impressive amount of press and recently had a successful Indiegogo campaign.
Who will be this year’s winner?
