It's not all just science and serious business at Iris.ai. Last week we had the entire team together for an amazingly fun - and well deserved - team retreat in the beautiful Bulgarian mountains.
I couldn't put it better than my co-founder Anita: "Aw, man. I can’t quite comprehend the team we’ve been so blessed to have work alongside us on this crazy mission we started out on four years ago with Iris.ai. There has been some serious ups and downs, but this team has decided to stick with us through it all. As I leave the annual company retreat filled with all of the laughter, good conversations, silliness, horseback riding, hiking, gyozamaking, cultural exchanges of food, alcohol and language - I can not help but feel (and know!) that the future has never looked brighter and we’ve managed to claw through the hardest of times. Thank you to each and every one of you for continuing to believe in us, and for sciencing the shit out of everything we do. Lovely weirdos!"
One of the great conversations we had at the retreat was connected to Douglas Murray's latest book: "The Madness of Crowds". The book puts forth crisp, well-researched, quite contrarian arguments on Gender, Race and Identity. It is an intelligent and at the same time provocative critique of Intersectionality as a 'Weltanschauung'.
It was great to exchange different views on such complex subjects, connected to everyone's individual freedom and life in a hyperconnected society. And, as with many other open fronts at Iris.ai, we are definitely far from done!
