It’s an exciting day for one of our portfolio companies - granted Federal interstate operating authority and also authority to transact business in Texas. (TxDMV number pending.) Need to move a vehicle within Texas or across the US? Reach out to them here: @TheStartingLin3

Hey, @google - what gives?

[The Starting Line @TheStartingLin3]

@Google thinks we’re not a real business. The DOT, FMCSA, IRS, and Virginia Departments of Taxation and Employment would beg to differ.

[The Pure Driving Fund @PureDrivingFund]

We’d like please to understand the basis which was not described in the original restriction or this response to our PortCo’s appeal.

Salty Unpopular Opinion: Being a founder of a VC fund is easier than being a founder of a startup. Like, a lot easier.

Any VC who says that they are the same has likely never started/run a startup before.
