thinking about how Carrie Bradshaw lived extravagantly off a weekly column…
Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media, accused Citadel and others of “naked short selling” this week Citadel’s response:
Roller coaster is an understatement for my week… and even today! 🤯
no notes.
it's "listening to Tchaikovsky and writing about VC" time...
any VC/PE fund formation lawyers here wanna talk to me about continuation funds?
no, I do not "have any questions" about the thing in my inbox I'm ignoring...
i need to replenish my biz reporter besties to commiserate with lol
lol was gonna print a document so i can highlight and write notes, and then i realized it's 444 pages... nope!!

@imkialikethecar The link to the zoom meme? I thought it was funny
☀️ There's nothing like starting a Saturday with a fresh cup of coffee, an email about climate tech VC featuring quotes from many of our peers, and a mention of our SPAC coverage ☕️👀 Thank you @imkialikethecar and @axios! 🙏 axios.com/newsletters/ax… #prorata
Today’s focus on climate change is a must read for all of us in the technology industry 👇🏼
It's true! And the Saturday edition will be different from the classic morning Pro Rata. - I'll take a deeper look into a single topic every week. Think of it as the leisurely weekend reading. - I'll lean into my vantage point in SV, & history covering VC, startups & more.
Our weekend edition of Pro Rata is out! The first issue looks at climate venture capital and where the Biden administration fits (or doesn't fit) into the picture. Anchored by the amazing @imkialikethecar — subscribe for more 🙂 axios.com/newsletters/ax…
Well, it wasn’t quite that bad the first time around, but, yes, we can do even better this time. We can, and we must. Good news is that in building a clean economy, we also create high quality jobs and lots of them! #impinv @imkialikethecar @axios 🌲🌞🌾⚡️
Silicon Valley got a black eye a decade ago when its venture capital foray into expensive and nascent cleantech didn’t pan out—but its recently renewed interest in a wider scope of tech that can tackle the climate crisis could be different this time. axios.com/venture-capita…
