Nuclear power (both fission and fusion) has the potential to provide much of the energy the world needs without the damaging effects of carbon emissions which are warming our planet. And yet nuclear power is politically unpopular in many parts of the world and that has led to a massive underinvestment in nuclear power over the last fifty years. It will take a much different attitude about nuclear power among the public before nuclear power can remerge as a major source of energy for the world.

Hint: The Answer Doesn’t Involve a Spreadsheet. I’m not an investor in Figma. I don’t know Figma CEO Dylan Field. And I’m not a designer. So this means I’m either perfectly positioned to give you my objective comments on Adobe’s $20 billion purchase of the startup, or totally unqualified to ask for your time on this matter. With that out of the way, here are three statements about this acquisition.

Photo: Pexels A lot of wrinkles and grey hairs ago I joined Slingshot Ventures. And even if I could count them, I wouldn’t?—?that would be way too confronting. Luckily, counting the number of years is much easier: five to be precise. As a VC, you’re always looking ahead, but I kind of feel that this is actually a good moment to look back and reflect.

One could probably argue that Floodgate , the Bay Area-based seed-stage venture firm, punches above its weight. The roughly 15-year-old firm has just around $500 million in assets under management — including a $150 million fund that it quietly closed in January — and it makes just a handful of new investments each year.
