Proud to be backing Brian and the entire @oatsovernight team! One of the keys to @oatsovernight success has been their data-driven approach. The team has formed an incredible feedback loop over the years: soft-launching new flavors every month within

This is wrong. Hardworking people (including US citizens) in Little Village are being apprehended by ICE while grocery shopping & doing laundry. This is not going after the "worst of the worst". Going after the worst of the worst, means NOT going after the hard-working

With it being budget season in Chicago, it’s important to think about how we grow — not just how we spend. Chicago’s strength has always come from its people, and keeping this city affordable starts with keeping them here. When people and businesses leave, opportunity leaves with

Imagine wanting to tax companies for creating jobs in your city. Hopefully this insanity doesn’t pass but if it does, the single most important question to ask of the next Mayor (who will certainly not be Brandon Johnson) is “will you kill this tax?” Brandon Johnson is the

Twitter Founder, Jack Dorsey, says, “You are the product. You are doing free work for these algorithm models, and you will be replaced” “That scares me the most” “Yet, the success of #Bitcoin proves another model exists. We can remove these apps from our lives”

Never blinked.

Elon, please increase your security to the max 🙏🏼

Agreed. Moody’s Ratings stopped short of another downgrade for the city of Chicago, just changing its “outlook” for the city’s finances from “positive” to “stable.” That’s still a major red flag that the city needs to get its financial act in order. All of us all over the state

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship rocket just successfully performed a flip maneuver and splashed down on target in the Indian ocean! The ship survived reentry through Earth's atmosphere. Congrats @SpaceX on a successful test flight!

This is absurd! Thanks to @nbcchicago & @RaymondALopez for investigating. An elderly widow is fighting a $233,439.90 water bill for a vacant home after the City installed a meter without her authorization! Even after admitting the meter was faulty, the City is now threatening

It cannot be understated what an absolutely catastrophic decision our derelict Governor has just made. $11B added to the $36B, with one signature. All the effort and sacrifice we have made to shore up our pensions over the past 15 years, all of the tax increases, all of the

Seeing a resurgence of credit-enabled fintech cos, fueled by AI unlocking new underwriting capabilities and origination channels. In case useful, sharing the framework we use internally for lending businesses: (1) Origination: - Have they carved out a defensible wedge into the

Taiwan is a major trading partner for IL & what really stands out during my visit here is their amazing transit system. Trains are spotless, safe & EXACTLY on time. It’s efficient & trusted by millions every day. Chicago can get here. Reliable public transit should be a top

Common VC advice: 'you need to have unique insight in a market, because founders want to work with people who share their view of the world' I've always seen it a bit differently. Our job isn't to out-insight the founder, but convince them that we can *enable* said insight in a

All good things must come to an end. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I’m excited for what’s next. It’s been an honor to serve this great state. ❤️ I’m committed to finishing out my term strong and will continue working hard every day for the people I serve.

My story: Susana Mendoza may bypass reelection as Illinois comptroller for potential Chicago mayoral bid

Bullish on Chicago

Over the past 60-days … ✅ We announced that we raised $10.6M in total funding with a TechCrunch exclusive and went live IRL with TBPN ✅ We stole the show at SaaStr and then was gifted multiple TimesSquare Billboards (thanks Brex) ✅ We added $150M to our pipeline (all

Met @susanamendoza10 last week and wow, inspired is an understatement. The first Latina independently elected statewide. A trailblazer, a pathfinder, and a real one building and bolstering Chicago. We talked civic duty, accountability, and the power of showing up. She’s not

This project should be coming to Chicago. SoftBank needs energy (nuclear - we've got it), water access (Lake Michigan-we've got it), a talent pipeline + R&D to make magic happen (that's us all the way). But Arizona is offering tax advantages & slashing red tape. Chicago has
