FIRST TALK:
Eliza Edge & Stephanie Erwin
Cahoots Co.
...
Cahoots Co. Founders Eliza Edge and Stephanie Erwin will discuss the opportunities (and challenges) of starting a circular economy inspired business. Through their own experiences piloting a children’s outfit rental service based in Kingston, Eliza and Stephanie continue to navigate the limitations of available technology to create a lean model that encourages renting seasonal outfits over wardrobe ownership, artfully mends and repairs garments over throwing them out, and does not sacrifice sustainability for convenience.

SECOND TALK:
Kianga Daverington
Bitcoin & The Future History of Money

Bitcoin is the newest technology to serve the function of money. It is an invention for the digital age designed to solve a problem that has persisted for all of humanity’s existence: how to move economic value across time and space. Drawing upon research presented in Saifedean Ammous’ book, The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, Kianga will discuss the history of money and share thoughts on Bitcoin from her perspective as an attorney and cryptoasset investment advisor.
