1/A capitalist econ. system allow us to uphold our freedom, but that does not mean we stop thinking about how to improve it. We need to reform our capitalist system into one which promotes equal opportunity and diminishes wealth disparity. #capitalism https://t.co/PKzOh45mCB

1| According to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, venture capital is broken. 20% of the 100 total investments made generated returns better than a public-market equivalent. The Kauffman Foundation places blame on themselves and other inst. LPs. They arenโt wrong by doing so.
