Forbes Midas List requires firms to do 'deal attribution' (who gets credit for the investment) and to turn over fund/company data to third parties.
Neither is consistent with our values or priorities.
But congrats to all the winners

Work with us. We only care about your love of technology and that you've been a part of a high performing group before, whether it's a startup, the military, a WNBA team, whatever.
But you do need to apply by tomorrow 11/10!

It’s Friday!
Was this another week where you spent 80% of your time doing a PPT to get VP approval for your product roadmap?
Or clearing Jira tickets for a bunch of features you don’t think your customers even want?
Maybe you need a new gig!
Maybe this one is it 👇

““When

The brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at Saudi Arabia's Istanbul consulate this month has sparked a reckoning in Silicon Valley. Now some are beginning to ask a simple but often neglected question: Where is our money coming from?
