I’d like to see every startup I invest in get to IPO. But realistically, an acquisition is the best case outcome for most. If Trump wins in November, we could see a massive wave of M&A in tech. This M&A flood will put a lot of money in investors’ pockets,…

My very best wishes to President Trump after the cowardly attempt on his life on Saturday. 🇺🇸 He showed incredible presence of mind, ducking down instantly as shots rang out. And far from killing him, the would-be assassin didn’t even delay Trump’s schedule — he’s at the RNC today. He’s…
