I’d love to hear about the logistics of how you do this because it’s something I’ve considered trying, at least for a period of time. I keep running into the idea that without consistent, reliable Internet, not to mention the other niceties of productivity like a workspace and monitors, it simply wouldn’t work for more than a few weeks.

Everyone raves about the work-from-home deal but forgets that we’ve all only been doing it for a few months - it’s still new and fresh. After a year or so of doing it I think we’ll start to see more mixed opinion.

Personally I’m OK with either arrangement, it’s more about the choice in the matter. The change of pace that comes with sometimes going into an office vs not is rejuvenating. Or even potentially the choice of being 100% remote and living in a different city for a while. Having those options are the real net benefit.

Is it possible that when put in unfamiliar situations, people will by default direct themselves toward others who are most like themselves?

A hypothetical: Reverse all the races in the VC/CEO situation. Who would the black VC assume was the CEO?

Repeat the experiment with whichever combination of race/sex you like.

My background in financial engineering is limited to trying to make sense of articles like this so maybe someone more in-the-know would be kind enough to help me understand. But when you securitize an asset, isn’t it typically an asset that has intrinsic value, e.g. property of some sort that can be easily liquidated? It seems to me that recurring revenue for a service only has value as long as that service exists. So if some startup selling dog food subscriptions stops providing that service, the subscriptions are worth exactly zero.

To take the example further, would said startup now be unable to sell the book of business to someone else before going broke?
