"Innovation? Oh yes, that's what we did last year at this Hackathon thing. We collected great ideas from our employees, gave them a pat on the back, threw a pizza party, and politely ignored all their suggestions. That was awesome! We’re definitely on the leading edge of innovation in our industry." That’s what it would sound like if corporations were honest about their so-called innovation efforts. But seriously, is 'innovation theater' really what drives change? Maybe it’s time to rethink how we actually foster creativity and listen to our teams. 👉🔗New Code Red episode dropping tomorrow on Substack.

Hey culttech world, It's amazing to see how fast we're growing. There were about 200 of us here last year, and now we're over 1000 followers. That feels really amazing! However, we don't really see you all as followers but rather as members of our community—and that's a huge difference. We've never really wanted people to just follow us. No, we're not some business coach who's going to tell you how to live your life. Instead, we're all about collaborating, building something together and connecting people from different fields and industries: startup founders, lawyers, musicians, investors, cinema directors and artists — this is the kind of crowd that we are lucky to have here. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of our community members for your support, engagement, and contributions to the CultTech community. Together, we're shaping the future of technology-driven cultural evolution. Stay tuned for some big news a-coming! #culttech #culture #innovation
