Matt Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 to be clear, getting invited to invest in a company when their valuation is that low is a friends-and-family type ordeal. One of my side gigs is venture funding startups in silicon valley. We do lots of seed and angel investing like this. It's 100% networking. Not really stuff that the public ever has a chance to invest in unless they join a fund or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking at O’hare is really expensive. We always use Uber to and from the airport for trips. It’s popular in the city here as well. Really easy to use and all good experiences so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that goes the same for cab drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber and Lyft are 1000x better than the cabs but the money being made by the guy in the streets isn't good but people fail to account for the real costs of driving their vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Uber started out super clean but you do have a bunch of stinky types driving clapped out Priuses these days if you use UberX. It's hit or miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give him a pass on the cheating. He held out as long as he could when he was with team Motorola. What I don’t give him a pass on is how he treated the good people around him. He ruined reputations to hide his game. That’s psychopathic. Edited September 4, 2020 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally destroyed some friends and professional acquaintances both financially and reputation wise. They were with him from the Motorola days. He’s such a complicated fucker. He did a tremendous amount of good for cancer patients including kids. Unfortunately everything was destroyed by the lies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
