Disrupt 2013 interview

Interview0 Comments

Arrington interviews Conway, Lee, and Pokorny about where the innovations are in tech.

Lee:

I would actually say in the last 12-18 months ideas are bigger, bolder, more ambitious…

Those include things like drone companies, and scientific research.

Conway:

We just in the last six months have [identified] two new target sectors to invest…education and the internet of things

He says the company is looking at ‘hardware devices communicating constantly with the web’, and says SV Angel is ‘defining’ the new sector of health informatics.

Lee:

The basic idea is if you think about the explosion of genomic medical information, all the medical data that is now being digitized…I think there’s now a chance to turn biology itself into a [tech sector]

Pokorny:

I’m still bullish on consumer innovation
