To investors, Today, we are publicly announcing the Bay Area Times — a new product that uses data and visuals to analyze what is happening across business, finance, and technology on a daily basis. The product has been in beta testing with 20,000+ readers for the last few weeks and the feedback has been phenomenal. Now we are ready for prime time,
Great stuff as always, Pomp. I signed up. A few questions:
1) Why did you call it Bay Area Times? That name makes it sounds like a local news publication, similar to how the SF Times is taking on the SF Chronicle with real journalism. I would not have known BAT covered tech without reading your description and it feels a bit elitist because your audience of technologists is innovating everywhere, not just the Bay Area.
2) Why are you building BAT on Beehiiv instead of Substack?
First time entrepreneur. Seriously struggling, need support around startup business grants/capital, virtual assistance, website developers, software expert for traffic boost and reaching out targeted population. I just got certified as a Salesforce trailblazer but then book knowledge is different from the real practice. I'm kind of overwhelmed so to say 😕. Thanks

3) Here's a spicy story lead - why was no one at Sequoia held accountable for their $214 million write-down on FTX? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/sequoia-ftx-214million-disaster
This will help a lot
Nice
