Nevertheless, many operators are implementing similar checklists. In this article, you will find examples of this as well as what coworking spaces can expect in the first few weeks after they reopen.

In 1963, during what is arguably his most well-known speech , Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. imagined a time when Blacks in America would be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. The events of the past days in this country have many of us, again, examining the issue of content of character, but not of any individual – of our nation.

I saw this tweet last weekend and immediately thought “he is right.” I really wish @fredwilson had used his Funding Friday to talk about George Floyd’s memorial fund or Minnesota Freedom Fund but I guess solar power is more promising than black people getting justice right now. — joahspearman (@joahspearman) May 30, 2020. So under the theory that late is better than never, I made a donation to The George Floyd Memorial Fund and I am highlighting it to all of you today.

By: Dan Rosen, Alliance of Angels To: The Angel Community After publishing my companion piece, “ How Startups Survive the COVID-19 Economic Crisis ,” I have received a number of comments about how this impacts angels and angel investing. Here are my thoughts. Unlike VCs, who have a fund to invest and collect a management fee for investing their fund, Angel Investors invest their own money and are under no pressure to invest in any company or at any time.

This shift not only boosts productivity but also automates processes and improves security. The tech market offers a wealth of technologies tailored for management, planning, and forecasting, replacing outdated pen-and-paper methods.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone – we have been hearing similar stories from several entrepreneurs over the past two months. Thanks to COVID-19, we are all in a time of great uncertainty and it’s natural for investors to adopt a “wait and see” approach.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
