The last three months of 2001 were awful for me after an 18-month stretch from the peak of the Internet bubble — spring 2000 through Sept. I was in New York City after a red-eye from San Francisco, landing at 6 a.m. Once I got back to Boulder, I didn’t travel for the rest of the year. A: Yes absolutely.

Since 2000, I’ve been collecting information about startups, including how much founders, their lieutenants, and their employees get paid. Startup CEOs make a lot more than the rest of the executive team. Silicon Valley and New York City startups pay significantly more than startups in Austin and Washington, D.C.

What if we could start a new set of exceptional companies and institutions that grow exponentially, that have positive impact exponentially, but are built on new principles, 21st-century principles that are the right mix of art and science and that make long-term bold commitments?

Now the 9th largest economy in the world, it‘s clear that the rest of the world is waking up to the potential in Texas. Texas exported more than California and New York combined in 2019. Only California and New York have a few more, and maybe not for long. In 2000 or 2010, it made sense to build in San Francisco.

Once again, the 1999-2000 dot-com bubble period shows the highest percentage of pricing above the initial filing range – 44% of deals were priced above. This would also require a remarkable amount of teamwork and long-term optimization between a supposedly quarterly-bonus-hungry banker and other colleagues in the rest of the bank!

Kathryn Garcia wants to be Mayor of New York City. If they can’t figure it out in Minneapolis, I’m not quite sure how they’re ever going to figure it out in New York. NYC has over 300,000 municipal employees. No, I mean, she actually wants to do the job. It’s not a platform for her to promote any experiments.

However, one of my co-founders doesn’t seem to be as motivated as the rest of us. This has presented a problem of the decision makers at resorts balking on spending 50K+ on an unproven idea, although we did a beta test around 2000 with 3 mountains that went well.
