The Halloween festivities in our town were beautiful. So many kids and their parents walked in the streets to neighbor’s homes to trick or treat. Some houses had Harris signs, some had Trump signs. But it didn’t seem to matter - everyone was celebrating our beautiful community.
Tonight, we join more than 1 billion people across America and around the world lighting diyas and celebrating the fight for good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and light over darkness. Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights!
This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala
Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
Well said @paulg! Let's all vote!
If you haven't decided yet who to vote for, here's why I think you should vote for Harris.
We were thrilled to have Sal Khan give a keynote discussion during our Annual Meeting, where @somakc asked him about some of the nearer-term commercial applications of AI. Somak will be leading more expert discussion on #AI at the @MIT AI Conference on Oct. 26!
The reaction to Tim Walz's comments about what a VC does seemed to trigger a lot of people in tech (I was not one of them). It made me think of a hilarious clip from Wedding Crashers where Owen Wilson's character tries to explain what he does as a VC. dailymotion.com/video/x2upmsy
Last week we hosted our all-day CEO summit. This outgrowth of our annual meeting has taken on a life of its own, and this year we were thrilled to bring in a packed house of founders and business leaders for a day of knowledge sharing and networking in beautiful Skaneateles.
ASV founder @Somakc is the focus of this week's Conversation on Leadership at syracuse.com! He shared his thoughts on inspiring founders, creativity, and why our region is perfectly poised for growth. Read the interview here: syracuse.com/business/2024/…
Oh no!!
A travesty. Panna II has deep roots in the neighborhood. It’s a true East Village institution.
I couldn’t agree more…
I have had big reservations about Kamala + kowtowing to the worst progressive elements Her debate performance is excellent. POISED. PREPARED. PRESIDENTIAL.📈 She is a study in contrast: calm + logical, landing good substantive shots while baiting Trump to get upset + unhinged
Great take by Fareed Zakaria on what is happening in the US and abroad re populism and elections. cnn.com/2024/09/08/pol…
My general advice: take the loan but never plan to use it except to show investors you have runway. Gives better negotiating power and later start of financing if you are trying to get to a milestone to make financing cycle shorter.
Talked to yet another founder whose company was killed by venture debt. I asked why they took it. He said they just tacked some onto the end of one of their funding rounds. It seemed like free money.
