>@brianmrosenthal and @katieglueck take a look at how Venture for America, Andrew Yang’s nonprofit in the startup world, kinda was a failure. nytimes.com/2021/05/01/nyr…
I think my Venture for America story is getting significantly more play today than it did when it was published in 2019.
Then, it was a cute piece about a political neophyte. Now, it and the NYT’s piece are badly needed scrutiny on the front runner to be the next mayor of NYC.

One thing you gotta understand if evaluating Andrew Yang & Venture for America is what happened in Las Vegas.
A year after launch, a fellow committed suicide.
“You’d have to be kind of an asshole to not feel some degree of responsibility,” Yang told me.
