Founders attempt a live five-minute newscast for the Founder Bootcamp's 2025 Future Newsroom challenge. The anchor covers a genetically-engineered snow leopard reintroduced at Frontier Towers, interviewing the animal and discussing how tech founders use rapid experimentation and storytelling to reshape media production.

And we have a second challenge for you, the 2025 Future Newsroom. Your goal is to create and perform a 5-minute live newscast.
All of the founders did such a great job. It's like they never asked why. Okay, that's the task and we have to do that. And that's a real founder mentality.
This just in, the snow leopard is back. Ken, can you hear me? Yes, I'm hearing you loud and clear. Hi, I'm here at Frontier Towers interviewing Mario.
We realized we could use this technology to bring back all kinds of different creatures. We came up with this idea Genetic engineering thing, which I really got into. And then build whole ecosystems.
Let's get into the field. Let's talk to an everyday citizen right now.
This is my dear friend here, the snow leopard.
Tell me about how you've honored your place in the community. Rawr!

And we'll catch you tomorrow, same time, same place.
