« How to Evolve Local Communication for the 21st Century - Dan Street »

In Chapter 8 of 20 of his 2010 Capture Your Flag interview, hyperlocal entrepreneur Dan Street shares how two-way communication, including mobile phones and social media, have redefined how we interact. One consequence of this technology reliance is that local and neighborhood connections have dissipated. Two-way communication has eliminated much local communication. He embraces this two-way communication and applies it to neighborhood settings via his startup, Loku.  Street is the founder and CEO of Austin, Texas based Loku (previously Borrowed Sugar) which develops Internet software to strengthen local communities.  Previously, Street worked in private equity at Kohlberg, Kravis, and Roberts (KKR) and management consulting at Bain & Co.  He earned a BA in music and business from Rice University.
