All posts ↗Recent posts cover a financing gap facing productive businesses that fit neither bank nor venture models, an endorsement of Phil Weiser in Colorado's governor primary, and a tribute to Om Malik.
Levine and John Sebesta argue that many productive businesses fall into a financing gap between banks and venture capital, harming economic growth more than it reflects diversity issues.
Levine urges Colorado voters to return their primary ballots by June 30 and endorses Phil Weiser for governor, citing his pro-growth and pro-entrepreneurship positions.
Levine writes a tribute to Om Malik, who passed away, praising his thoughtfulness, writing, and photography, and linking to his blog and photo site.
