HOTTEST TIPS w/ Carson Mell
It's no exaggeration to say that the internet would be nothing without Joe's Hottest Tips. In the 90s, millions of Americans bought PCs and they needed someone to give them Tips on how to log on, turn off their computer at night (not just the monitor!), and keep their mouseball clean. Noa’s idol Joe Williams (Carson Mell) was the foremost Tips-giver of the era, but he fell off the radar as his Tips empire was pummeled by new media consolidation. Together they set sail on Joe's yacht to relive the glory days of the first Silicon Valley boom. Can Noa rekindle Joe's spark of innovation? Or will Joe help Noa see the light with some much-needed Tips for healthier living?

ROMIO w/ Kate Berlant
Selling sex is illegal, but consenting to sexual activity by swapping cryptocurrency on the blockchain is innovation. That's the genius idea of Romio's founder Maya Rauss (Kate Berlant) whose brand of Silicon Valley-friendly techno-feminism has led to a career of fighting the exploitation of women's bodies online by profiting off that exploitation for herself. But Romio's contractors are struggling with crypto prices cratering mid-sex act, and the company's growth has been slowed by clashes with her ruthless competitors in the for-profit dating sphere. With Noa's own love life on the rocks, will he be able to help Romio convince its users to migrate all human relationships onto the blockchain?

DRIVE MIND w/ Matt Oberg
The self-driving car that can behave morally at 75 MPH. Should your car swerve into traffic to avoid a stroller, or hit and run and hope for the best? Self-driving cars face these kinds of questions every mile, and Drive Mind's advanced artificial intelligence can answer them. Founder Louis Taylor (Matt Oberg) has built a robust moral driving architecture that can weigh the value of a possum crossing the road versus a stalled van full of professional gamers, and Noa decides to take it for a test drive to see if it's road ready. Can Noa help Drive Mind pull onto the onramp of success, or will a bump in the road prove fatal to Drive Mind's ambitions?
