With the hopeful Crew Dragon launch on Saturday, Elon will show us yet again what the human spirit is capable of and usher in manned space flight’s next chapter. I remember the Dark Days when he almost went under. somethingventured.com/2020/0…

All truth passes through 3 stages

Tech and VC are entering the Dawn of a New Era. Our industry goes through thematic cycles roughly every 10 years (in addition to the “15 year tech” cycle). The 2020’s will be known for the rise of Stakeholder Capitalism. somethingventured.com/2020/0…

I was talking with a distraught, young entrepreneur whose week had been rough. He had a much needed prospect go with a competitor and an existing investor reneg on a promise to fund the second tranche of his commitment. somethingventured.com/2020/0…
