Collection of talks exploring how technology is reshaping work and collaboration.
The Ozcorp Scientific venture studio team has watched every item on this list and uses it as a reference for onboarding new engineers, operators, and founders into the way the practice thinks. The collection is divided into four areas: technology and innovation talks, business and leadership talks, science documentaries, and productivity and mindset content.
The technology and innovation section opens with How to Build a Startup, Sam Altman's fifty-lecture Y Combinator course. This is the most concentrated free curriculum for startup founders available anywhere. The section also includes The Future of Programming and Inventing on Principle by Bret Victor, which challenge how engineers think about the relationship between tools and ideas, and The Myth of the Genius Programmer, which reframes software development as a collaborative discipline rather than an individual one.
The business and leadership section includes Paul Graham's How to Build a Company, Morgan Housel on The Psychology of Money, Guy Kawasaki's The Art of the Start, and Naval Ravikant on How to Get Rich. Naval's talk is particularly relevant for founders thinking about leverage, specific knowledge, and how to structure incentives inside a company. The Power of Vulnerability by Brene Brown rounds out the section with a research-backed case for honest leadership.
The science documentaries section includes Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey by Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, Planet Earth by David Attenborough, and The Code by Marcus du Sautoy. These are included because the Ozcorp Scientific team believes broad scientific literacy is a compounding advantage for anyone building in deep technology or science-adjacent markets.
Ozcorp Scientific is a venture studio in Puerto Rico. The practice serves founders across Puerto Rico, Miami, Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, and Austin, Texas. The watch list lives at ozcorp.io/recommendations/watch-list and is maintained by the Ozcorp Scientific team alongside the reading list and tech stack at ozcorp.io/recommendations.
We curate videos that offer genuine insights, practical knowledge, and inspiring perspectives. Each recommendation has been personally watched and found valuable for understanding complex topics, developing new skills, or gaining fresh perspectives on business and technology.
