Which companies are actually building around AI, and which are mostly just talking about it? That’s what I find interesting about the work at @aideinstitute. Paul Cheek talked about the launch on CNBC this week. Worth a watch. cnbc.com/2026/06/01/nvidia-m…

A well-known challenge: only 2.4% of VC investment goes to startups founded solely by women; only 1.3% to Black founders. I’m supporting a @MITSloan project to address this. Please like, RT, or DM if you agree that this is a disparity we must resolve, or to share your thoughts.

Op-ed by @algore David Blood in @WSJ => #ESG Investing Is Consistent With Fiduciary Duty. It’s not an end in itself. It’s simply an analytical tool that investors would be smart to make use of. #impinv wsj.com/articles/sustainable…

Great piece by @hbuffett that explores how investors can identify impactful companies to invest in that go beyond the standard CSR. A great place to start is by seeking out organizations that not only report but act. #ImpactInvesting fastcompany.com/90753121/3-s…

As private companies make up “more than 40% of the U.S. economy,” according to @FortuneMagazine they are key in creating actionable ESG change. With more freedom than public co's, private co's can take the lead in adopting new leadership and measurement approaches. cc: @Inari_Ag
