SUMMARY:i4 Series: AI\, Education\, & SC Workforce
DESCRIPTION:Google’s 7-state AI education lead joins us in Greenville for a panel on closing the gap between what schools teach & tomorrow’s workforce \n\n\n\n\nA recent survey found only 14% of college graduates say they’ve reached proficiency applying AI tools in a professional setting. \nSouth Carolina isn’t standing still. The Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics\, backed by a multi-year Google investment\, is training teachers statewide\, running an AI Educator Program\, and building curriculum for K-12 classrooms in 27 counties. \nDemand is climbing fast in tech. Outside of it\, most employers are still deciding what AI skills are worth hiring for\, or whether they need them at all. \nThe harder question is what comes next. If AI is absorbing entry-level work\, the training ladder most organizations relied on doesn’t work the same anymore. The path from repetitive tasks to judgment calls to leadership is compressing. Professional services\, manufacturing\, insurance\, technology\, same problem\, and a few organizations are already rebuilding that path deliberately. \nSo what are we preparing students for\, and what will employers be asking for by the time they graduate? \nPanelists Include: \nLilyn Hester | Regional Lead\, Community and Workforce Development\, Google\nSpearheading Google’s regional AI education across seven states. Partners directly with local school districts and institutions like GSSM to fund digital literacy\, bring cross-state insights to local leaders\, and drive workforce readiness. \nDanny Dorsel | President\, SC Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics\nBuilding the infrastructure for AI education across South Carolina\, from training the state’s first cohort of AI Faculty Fellows to putting curriculum and professional development into the hands of K-12 teachers in 27 counties. \nPaula Fulghum | Founder & President\, InnovateHR\nSitting inside hiring across dozens of small and mid-size businesses in 38 states\, she sees what employers are putting on job descriptions long before it shows up in national survey data\, and where AI skills are showing up in hiring conversations. \nModerated by:\nDoug Kim\, IP Attorney & Founder\, Kim\, Lahey & Killough Law Firm.

SUMMARY:i4 Series: Capital Isn't Cash
DESCRIPTION:Most founders think capital is the problem. It isn’t. They try to raise money before they’ve built something worth funding. Long before a check gets written\, the real work happens with customers who pay\, partners who commit and grants that de-risk early assumptions. \nThat’s the capital stack\, and most founders only count half of it. \nOn Aug. 18\, we’re digging into what the full stack looks like\, when bootstrapping works and when it slows you down\, and how to position for grants\, angels\, crowdfunding or VC instead of guessing which one fits.
