Notes
Through his work in molecular genetics, Sheldon came to understand both the value of structured data, and the amount of unstructured data that the world was coming into. After a few years in data mining roles, he founded Proclivity which sought to structure data in such a way that helped all parties in a transaction gain utility.
Recently, Sheldon has been evangelizing a feature of Blockchain technology, distributed consensus, and how it will help to empower underserved communities by removing subjectivity. He also founded Kura Labs, a nonprofit aimed at training and placing underprivileged students into high paying internet infrastructure jobs.
