Our TechCrunch adventure in San Francisco, you will also see our CEO and founder, Matthew Hansard, giving a one minute speech about our company (which he killed, way to go!).
Inspired; would have to be the word I use to describe my experience at TechCrunch Disrupt this year. The amount of extra brain cells that I feel I've acquired during this three day process has truly shocked me, as well as the shin splints I've developed from walking around for what felt like 78 hours straight. Totally worth it.
This conference truly showed me that the realm of opportunity really has no ceiling. As cheesy as it is, the sky is the limit, literally. From AI technologies to blockchain solutions, Disrupt showcased the most amazing start-up technologies that are waiting for their jump off in order to change the technology industry as we know it.
Final Thoughts was fortunate enough to showcase our booth on the third day of the event. We were able to meet so many individuals who were very passionate for our product almost as much as we were. And as a start-up, that validation alone only added fuel to our already massive passion for this technology we have created. The connections that we made to help us move forward in our journey with Final Thoughts, will help us optimize every step moving forward.
From this conference and all of our newfound education in this space, we are excited to refine our business model for upcoming exhibitions that we have planned. We will be exhibiting at The Ascent Conference in Manhattan, NY this upcoming October and have really focused on honing in on our business model to allow for our success.
Final Thoughts is focusing on connecting loved ones during and after life in the palliative care space, to help in aiding our users to create their own legacy project. This legacy project isn't about dying and death, it's about life and living. How YOU want to be remembered. We encourage all of our users to become the autobiographers of their own lives. At its most basic level, it can be a thoughtful way to spend an afternoon. At its most meaningful, legacy work provides a unique opportunity to reflect on your life and process through the events and people who shaped it. It can be a way to plan for the future. It can be a powerful coping tool not only for you, but for the people around you. Leaving a legacy gives your loved ones something to hold on to, something that can provide healing and comfort year after year. It's a reminder of who you were, what you loved, what was important and the contributions you made. One of the most important things to know about legacy work is that there are no rules, no restrictions, no limitations and no eligibility criteria. A legacy project using Final thoughts can turn thoughts into actions.
We are so inspired to continue our journey with this technology we have created, and we are so ready for our app to launch within the coming weeks. This technology will pave the way for emotion and technology to intertwine, and we couldn't be more excited about it. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with our journey and for news on the launch of our app.
Here’s a clear explanation of ABCD Index — what it is, and how you can find journals on it. Since you’ve earlier shown interest in submitting papers, this should help you use it correctly.
ABCD Index is an online indexing / journal-directory platform for academic journals across many disciplines — science, engineering, humanities, social science, medicine, and more.
The platform’s goal is to help researchers, authors, publishers, and institutions locate “real” journals, by collecting and verifying details such as ISSN, publisher info, publication frequency, access type (open/paid), indexing status, etc.
ABCD Index assigns a rating (categories A, B, C, D) to journals — based on evaluation parameters like age of journal, regularity of issues, whether peer review is done, whether journal maintains proper formatting and editorial standards,…
For anyone exploring the Pacific Northwest, the Amtrak station in Portland, Oregon, serves as an essential gateway. Conveniently located in downtown Portland, the station is more than just a place to catch a train—it’s a hub of connectivity, comfort, and accessibility. Whether you’re commuting, taking a scenic trip, or planning a long-distance journey, the Amtrak station in Portland, Oregon, provides a reliable and welcoming starting point.
If you're searching for places to visit in Nainital, this guide is a good starting point—calm lakes, scenic viewpoints, and plenty of peaceful spots to unwind. I recently came across this helpful list by Tap On Travel, which covers both popular attractions and some lesser-known places
Here’s how you can check whether a journal is listed / approved under ABCD Index — i.e. see the list of “ABCD-Index approved journals.”
Go to the ABCD Index website (i.e. open abcdindex.com).
Use the search bar (usually in the middle of the page) and type either
the journal name, or
the ISSN/P-ISSN (if you have it).
Press “Search.” A list of journals matching your query will appear.
Use the filters on the side (or top) of the results page to narrow down by:
Indexing → select “ABCD-Index” to show only journals approved by ABCD.
(Optional) Rating → ABCD uses a category system: A, B, C, D. Select the rating you want (e.g. “A”) and filter accordingly.
