In today’s podcast, we talk about GDPR and how it will be enforced in the US.  Tyson discusses the importance of building trust with his clients.  We also discuss how start-ups can best compete with the “giants” in AI.

We discuss the “Uber effect”, and what drives business valuations in different parts of the US.  Georgian Partners looks for companies outside of the Tech Industries.  They look for the “Aces in the deck”, which they found here in Charlotte with Stratifyd and PrecisionLender.
