This policy is needlessly cruel and wrongheaded.
It's also incredibly hypocritical coming from the same people who've spent the past two years insisting that parents, not schools, get to decide what's best for their children re: COVID.
Government by schadenfreude truly sucks.

We're hiring for two exceptional Summer Associates - one on the investment analysis side, and one in communications and community. I'm biased, but it's a great opportunity to experience the reality of an early stage fund.
We're hiring for two Summer Associates (June - August) - details at bit.ly/3nXCmER. Deadline May 30th. No "3 years of Investment Banking" nonsense. Looking for smart, diligent, creative, fun, fast-moving people for an inside look at building a venture fund. It'll be fun.

Startup investing has a diversity problem: Black, Latinx, and Indigenous founders combined receive less than 10% of startup funding.

I drove to pick up my mom’s mail this morning without spending one second or iota of energy worrying about being pulled over, shot, tased, or dehumanized by a police officer. This simple luxury should not be too much for our brothers and sisters of color to demand.

Reading a spotlight on @PiggyBankNG in Beyondgood by @psb_dc and @leimer, the Nigerian in me couldn’t help smiling. Thank you @OdunEweniyi and team for helping customers improve their attitude and discipline towards savings. Tech should help us become better - complementary!

Encouraging founders to raise less VC feels like telling people to eat spinach when everyone in the startup world is munching on Shake Shack, but it has benefits:
🥇 Better partners
💰 Smaller preference stack
🛣️ More Options
😬 Less stress
💸 Self-control
⏱️ Time to grow
