Venture $$ deployed are up, but # of deals are decreasing since Q1 2024: - The "it's easier to raise than find a job" myth is empirically wrong. - More consensus VC capital - Thus, it's only "easy" to raise the closer your startup is to consensus Not good for VC/startups imo

Even one of the top imaging companies in the US admits how much better ultrasound is than mammography for breast imaging. What is not said is the radiation risk of mammograms is worse than the benign sound waves of U.S. I never Rx'd mammograms, choosing ultrasounds instead.

What happens to the older unicorns? Data below shows the last financing for each US unicorn on Carta. So 75 unicorns have not raised since Q4 2021. This analysis includes bridge rounds as financings. So...what happens to these former high flyers? 2021 was a long time ago...

This man remains in custody on a $2,000,000 bond for posting a political meme in a discussion about a Charlie Kirk vigil. However much offense it caused, there's no serious argument it was a threat. It's hard to see the arrest and charges as anything but politically motivated.
