I'm Salim Virani. I used to design peer learning programs, and these days I'm having fun building stuff.
Great weekend watching, not just for content businesses or creative types. Feels a bit like a modern version of The Manual by the KLF.
It also got me thinking about how Lean Startup builds on existing platforms. With the content world moving to mashups and remixes, and the way creative endeavors build incrementally on the past, there's a lot we could learn from each other. Think there's a strong enough connection here to ask Kirby to join us at a Leancamp?
Part 4 coming this fall. More info and donations here: http://www.everythingisaremix.info/

I’m working on a communication tool for loose community groups and unconference-style interactions. It focuses on individual autonomy rather than top-down coordination.
I recently became a Kernel fellow, where I was exploring models for self-directing communities of care, the history of economic cultural norms, and the connection between mimicry, memes and our sense of belonging.
I did a few advisory gigs too - for Polygon, Limechain and Bankless on education and support programs.
In the past, I designed peer learning programs for Oxford, UCL, Techstars, Microsoft Ventures and The Royal Academy Of Engineering. I also played a role in creating the Lean Startup methodology, and the European startup ecosystem. You can read about this here.
