The general macroeconomic narrative going around in North America these days feels something like: The economy was doing great pre-Covid A year ago, we were hit with a once-in-a-lifetime economic shock that took an otherwise-stable economy into shaky territory. Covid hit, and now we’re on the road to recovery After necessary…

Corporate vs. Institutional Venture: A Primer

AI: Astounding & Imminent

Typically, when I go to big conferences, I try and dabble a little bit in a variety of topics and spread myself thin to get a broad sense of what’s going on in the world. I expected I’d follow that strategy for my first ever trip to SXSW — but…
