A buddy just bought the former WeWork building on 2nd (at an insane price) and is turning it into a space for early stage builders. Renovating it, will have a luxury roof deck and event space.
Will be hosting events for founders, and able to offer space for a steal.

BREAKING: Trump is desperate and running out of options after 4 years of a failed presidency

There was almost no acceptance that their strategy failed. Trump isn't a god-like candidate. He ran on the economy, the border and inflation and Kamala didn't really have a message.
The $25K house downpayment and fine supermarkets for "price gouging" wasn't policy that would fix the issues voters cared about.

Excited to share that I've joined @GradientVC as a Partner to back world-class founders!
Gradient has been investing at the forefront of AI since 2017. We lead pre seed through series A rounds. Our team includes numerous former founders, domain experts and investors.
As a former founder, I've been impressed by how aligned we are with founders, and how much they value the support that we provide.
I spent the past ten years helping to build companies at @Vial, @NewfrontHQ , and as an angel investor, and am excited to help founders get to product-market-fit and escape velocity!
I love working with founders at the idea-stage, and am interested in applications of AI in healthcare, and legacy industries.

Anyone who supports Roy Moore's campaign (staff, campaign manager) is condoning these actions which he has not denied. How can you explain that to your family, to your kids? That's what gets me. This is more than partisan politics.

*ARR = contracted revenue, LOIs, meetings scheduled with enterprise logos, emails sent, and vibes.

So four women have come forward about him pursuing them when they were children and his denial is all it takes for you to believe him? If I was a parent, there's no way I could stand next to a man like that.

Hi Dorothy, the good news is that the clinical trials for the COVID vaccines were larger than normal. So we have great data. Over 150,000 people enrolled in the trials. Millions have taken the vaccines since.

You mean the largest economy in the US and 5th largest in the world? Funny that Republican states are the biggest net recipients of tax dollars and Democratic states contribute more than they take out.

Paladin is deployed in departments across the country and they are clearing 30% of calls with autonomous drones. They've grown by 10X since we invested earlier this year.

Fox News Exit Poll says 70% of people want government-run healthcare. The hosts have no idea how to comprehend it. Trump ran in 2016 as a populist, not a conservative!

His tax cut bill rewarded the highest earners. He offered the largest tax holiday for big businesses in history. They didn't increase worker salaries, instead, they put that money into paying out shareholders.

. @GrowSF is clearly a very high ROI effort. Elections are confusing (given all candidates have D next to their name) and party endorsements are controlled by insiders. Numerous friends mentioned receiving the GrowSF guide in the mail.

Why are they speaking out? Because the Washington Post found them and asked them to! This has already been explained. He hasn't even responded properly, just tweeted "fake news!" These are really serious allegations and from multiple sources.

How about this.
Trump can be President for the next two months, then if Biden wins he can be President for the following 4 years.

Your tax credit idea helps taxpayers during tax season. Solving childhood poverty would mean millions of children could grow up in stable homes and would be an incredible long-term investment at a relatively low price.

SF spends $365M a year on homeless services, with Prop C we just implemented an extra 0.5% tax on businesses which should raise an extra $250-300M per year. We are currently renting 12,000 hotel rooms at $250+ a night. This year we've built multiple new navigation centers.

Uber/Lyft have said they want to provide benefits & paid sick leave to drivers. I asked 5 drivers over the past week what they thought, and they all said they didn't want to be employees, and the #1 reason they drive is flexibility.
