I’ve been going back and forth on this for a couple weeks now after watching it.
I’m always looking out for my people.
(Who loves ya babe?)
I’ll break that down here piece by piece.
He’s like a superstar coach for tech startups.
He’s one of the big-shot investors in Silicon Valley, working with a firm called Benchmark.
Hes really intelligent, logical, and doesnt seem like he smells his own farts.
Basically, he’s the guy tech entrepreneurs dream of getting funding from.
They discuss the latest trends, share ideas, and talk about challenges and opportunities in the tech world.
I found out about it because my much smarter, much more successful friends all listen to it weekly.
Shocker, I know.
This obviously makes for very messy, and shady situations.
He talked about how he’s seen this firsthand with companies he’s invested in.
Who is David Cohen you ask?
As if we needed any more reasons to think Comcast is the worst company on the planet.
Because it’s infuriating.
Which explains why most of our cable boxes and tv equipment still looks like its from the 1980s.
He then shifts gears into the healthcare sector and its somehow even worse.
She was the only private sector person on it.
He points out how the technology used for these tests is far from revolutionary.
They validated and verified 96 of them!
As a result, you could buy 5 of these tests for $3.75.
But in the United States, as we all know too well, things were totally different.
First off, they resisted allowing Rapid Tests because hospitals were making so much off of the PCR tests.
(You already know where this going)
Where did Stenzel work before landing a job at the FDA?
Well, none other than at Abbot and Quidel of course.
The definition of a racket.
Gurley later shifts to talking about the tech space and artificial intelligence, AI, in particular.
It’s supposed to be open, but now it’s all about profit and controlled by Microsoft.
He wants more transparency in government, especially about where political donations come from.
We really are the biggest suckers.
