Coffee Chat with Jordy Mont-Reynaud
Sunday, 5/20/18, 3:30
Jordy Mont-Reynaud graduated from the Symbolic Systems program at Stanford in 2004. He also was the youngest ever American chess player to be given the title of chess master in 1994. After raising $1M+ for Dojo, a spin-off from BJ Fogg’s Persuasive Tech Lab, Jordy has recently started the Mindgam3 Institute for human-computer symbiosis. Mindgam3 is coming out of stealth in 2018 to launch two products: 1) an interactive data visualization platform to support evidence-based journalism and fight the spread of fake news, and 2) an AR chess app in partnership with four-time US Chess Champion Grand Master Hikaru Nakamura.
To attend this informal chat over coffee with Jordy, please RSVP for details.
