Good article from @nytimes really articulating what we've all been thinking these past few years, but hard to say whether private venture financings and tender offers are actually solving for this well in the interim. https://t.co/L623FzoG0o

Not surprising that relocating to Silicon Valley was the best geographic move for startups vs. other hubs based on data through 2014, but would be curious as to whether that is still the case today. https://t.co/Hmz4nvYTtq (subscription required)

A secondary marketplace for stock in private start-ups? There is of course an appetite for this, but what could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/ltUw2KzOZu

Never a good sign when venture capital funds get into the business of public company investing? https://t.co/7jt0rE6S8G (subscription required)

Gopuff continues to raise money, but this time through a credit line rather than traditional venture funding or its planned IPO. A harbinger of what’s to come for other start-ups? https://t.co/ajV5vf6ldn (subscription required)

Great read from TechCrunch on Peloton's changing its original sales strategy and finally selling on Amazon (and another example of how the pandemic has fundamentally changed businesses and business models). https://t.co/J6dJFZNraP

Great read on the age-old question of how to solve for housing affordability in Silicon Valley. Will be interesting to see how this latest battle turns out. https://t.co/fzmdEsRKaO

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Interesting read on the return of the structured deal for certain venture-backed start-ups. Only will tell whether some of these deal terms will start to stick more broadly. https://t.co/16u5H3x28q (subscription required)

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Great to see hedge funds and PE shops increasingly getting into the startup game as well. Will be exciting to see whether the trend continues this year. https://t.co/5jkdImmRAI (subscription required)

Great read on NYC's accelerated growth as a tech hub over the past decade, prodded by policy initiatives and owing to the City's success in attracting tech talent for both traditional tech and non-tech companies like Goldman Sachs. @SteveLohr @nytimestech https://t.co/i0JO9YWV1y

Can Times Square get any larger than life than it already it is? Apparently the answer is yes. I'm excited to see how “experiential retail” plays out on such a big stage. @mflamm_reporter @CrainsNewYork https://t.co/NRS3fYzBem

Looking for more space in finite San Francisco, tech companies rethink their growth strategy and headquarters offices. Thought-provoking read from @owenthomas @sfchronicle https://t.co/FNu5yIVwFb

Great read from @thewendylee in @sfchronicle on how Silicon Valley’s boundaries are blurring into San Francisco as companies compete for the best talent. In other words, maybe Silicon Valley isn’t really dying if you consider San Francisco to be part of it.https://t.co/uQfl4x4yGW

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Surprising read from @NewYorker on how food delivery is actually a losing proposition for both restaurants and delivery platforms. I am curious to see whether the delivery-only model will ever successfully stick. https://t.co/iupyQXtn8S

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Great article from @mslaurabliss in @TheAtlantic on WeWork’s very smart move to target blue-chip companies looking for someone else to provide perks to employees. But will these established corporate tenants ultimately erode WeWork’s signature culture? https://t.co/a6xnWB3XK5

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Great news on Brooklyn Navy Yard’s future expansion plans from @dmlevitt in @business. I’m curious to see whether this investment (along with others in the pipeline) will ultimately convince creative manufacturers to stay once they become successful. https://t.co/zKhsU9UG0D

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Thought-provoking read from @AlanaSemuels in @TheAtlantic on how bringing Amazon warehouses to cities in desperate need of jobs has led to counterintuitive economic results. https://t.co/GCSySCCjoy

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Exciting news from @matthewherper in @forbes that NYC is looking to create a life sciences hub. With such a high concentration of academic medical centers in NYC, should the Bay Area and Boston feel threatened? https://t.co/KkP9xoNgbg

[Angela Loc @angeladloc]

Fantastic article from @jshieber in @TechCrunch. Great to see such a talented chef launch a fund focused on the food industry. I’m excited to see which companies the fund backs in the future. https://t.co/lA0Ij84bVF
