Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: The Hemp Car Cover-up

This has inevitably led to enormous amounts of pollution and (some would argue) wars over the resources needed to keep the car culture going. So what if there was an alternative? Why would someone cover it up? They don’t want you to read our book. They don’t want you to see us on tour.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 E7: Alexandre Omeyer, Stepsize

Alex Omeyer is undercover French ,despite his thick British accent. He was born and raised in Paris, and though he studied business and management, he spent most of his time doing show jumping - in other wides, riding horses to jump over obstacles. He moved over to the UK to join his brother, finish his Masters, and get cracking on what they were going to build together.

Alex, his brother, and their friends set off building software solutions. They noticed that there was a lot of data generated throughout the process, and they envisioned a future where this could be accessed to enable anyone to code. But.. in order to arrive at that, they realized that a tool needed to be built to access that data, in a trustworthy manner.

This is the creation story of Stepsize.
