Drive Capital’s second act – how the Columbus venture firm found success after a split
Drive Capital's second act – how the Columbus venture firm found success after a split | TechCrunch
The venture capital world has always had a hot-and-cold relationship with the Midwest. Investors rush in during boom times, then retreat to the coasts when markets turn sour. For Columbus, Ohio-based Drive Capital, this cycle of attention and disinterest played out against the backdrop of its own internal upheaval several years ago -- a co-founder split that could have ended the firm but may have ultimately strengthened it.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

These articles are infuriatingly dumb. This woman got upset because Harvard issued a totally reasonable and frankly neutral statement about equity and giving a damn about others, she runs to UATX and they fire her wah wah wah. The fragility that has brought us to ruin is so embarrassing. Grow up!
