Aug 14, 1:41PM
Legal documents. If they didn’t already bore you to death imagine having to find the mistakes in them.

Aug 13, 9:00PM
When it comes to raising money in the U.S., corporate venture capital is seemingly synonymous with “Plan C.” If you can’t raise money from top-tier firms, you move on to Plan B, second-tier firms. If that fails, Plan C is corporate. There are exceptions, but corporate does tend to be the last resort: The place you go when your company has been shopped, or your valuation is… Read MoreApple's Tim Cook On Latest Diversity Numbers: There's "A Lot More Work To Be Done"
