Recently, I was invited to the second season Demo Day of a startup accelerator, and it was quite a fascinating experience.

In the past, when I attended events, I would only focus on individual projects—what this one was doing, how that one was performing. But this time was different. When you put dozens of teams in the same space, you suddenly realize that the saying "the times are accelerating" isn't just some abstract concept; you can actually see it happening.

The difference between viewing things from a student perspective and from an ecosystem perspective is just the distance of a meeting room. When you see entrepreneurs from different tracks pushing their ideas forward at the same time, that collective momentum really gives you a tangible sense that, "Oh, change is happening."
