The Tech World We Deserve with Aniyia Williams

02/04/25 • 26 min

What could the tech world look like if it served the needs and interests of people instead of bots? If it tackled the world's most pressing problems instead of creating memes? If it created communities of founders who change the system that funds innovation?

Aniyia Williams has some ideas about that.

In this week's episode, Aniyia Williams—inventor, “systempreneur,” and Director of the Responsible Technology team at the Omidyar Network—shares her mission to rid the tech world of dependence on VCs and help build a more healthy & responsible tech future for everyone.
