No one should have to live in constant fear for their life, let alone the lives of their children. The everyday trauma of being Black in America is something no white person can fully comprehend. This must end. We must stop it.

[Gundo Grants @GundoHouse]

INTRODUCING GUNDO GRANTS

Every summer, hundreds of the sharpest students in the country land deep tech internships in Los Angeles. They show up ready to build things that matter. Then they discover LA rent on an intern salary is its own engineering challenge.

We think that's a problem worth fixing.

Gundo Grants are $5,000 housing stipends for 10 of the top deep tech interns spending this summer in LA. El Segundo has quietly become the center of gravity for hard tech in America, and the interns showing up this summer will be the most important people in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, robotics, energy, and beyond in 10 years.

If you're interning at a deep tech company this summer, building something real, and wondering how you'll make the numbers work in LA, then a Gundo Grant is for you!

10 grants. $5K each. Exclusive events. 1 incredible cohort.

Applications are due by May 8th → https://t.co/ZjYlhtlGKy

We're hiring 2 Associates to join the investment team @upfrontvc! Having been an Associate myself and worked last 12 years with many, I can confidently say it's a comprehensive program for anyone interested in learning the ins and outs of being an early stage investor. We're lead pre-Seed, Seed investors, we take board seats and stick with our portfolio companies throughout their lifetimes, hence you'll get a front row seat to the full depth of the lead VC Partner role. As well each Partner has his/her industry and technology focus areas (aerospace / defense, dev tools and infra, healthcare, fintech, robotics, etc.), you'll get a breadth of exposure to the next gen tech impacting key industries. We're proud to see our Associates get promoted, continue in venture at other top tier funds, join successful startups, and start their own.

We are looking for ambitious self-starters, who beyond their FT job has methodically done founder network building, deep dives into next gen tech in the open source community, theses on specific industries going through tech transformations, public writing, and/or investing. If you're a tinkerer who builds AI apps in your spare time, or help friends with their startup business challenges, even better.

Please apply here, roles are based in our LA office (yes below is our roof deck), thank you: https://t.co/1T0kfNeyBu

@ashleymayer Dogs in swing states also need to contend with people constantly ringing the doorbell to remind their humans to vote ;)

"We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years" says France's Europe Minister

"Let's get out of collective denial. Europeans must take their destiny into their own hands, regardless of who is elected 🇺🇸president"

@vikasreddy Totally agree that there should be no consequences for who Elon supports politically. My concern is what happens if he does things that violate his security clearance (like coordinating illegally with foreign adversaries) and uses the claim of political retribution as a shield?
