The SPV drama keeps coming, this time with some new main characters. We break down the public spat between AngelList-affiliated USVC, Anduril co-founder Matt Grimm, and the SPV/fund manager caught in the crossfire. We ex
This week on Great Chat, The New York Times piece about San Francisco's "struggling" six-figure earners has Helen and Ashley doing the math on their early-20s rent checks. Then: the New York congressional primary results

Over the past week, our Twitter feeds were filled with stories that rarely get told: VCs behaving poorly in pitch meetings. Some founders even named names. What does it say about this moment that founders are publicly sh

Eric Schmidt delivered a pitch for AI to the University of Arizona graduating class—and the audience was not having it. We break down the nuance behind those boos, and grapple with the reality that no tech leader could h
We’ve come a long way from the idealistic startup missions of the 2000s and 2010s. Today’s mission statements (when they exist) are more adversarial and more capitalist. Did we lose something, or are we just being honest

We’re hearing the B word a lot more lately, and while it’s clear there’s a valuation bubble, we’re not betting on a correction just yet. Plus: OpenAI trades its “you can just do things” era for focus (RIP Sora and assort
