The [pre-IPO] companies right now are metal tested. They've been through so much the last couple years. So I suspect we'll have a really great class of companies going public in the next ~24 months that are able to shine in public markets." Our Founder and Managing Partner Kirsten Green took the stage at the Bloomberg Tech Summit today to talk all things State of VC: the thawing IPO market, the AI surge, fund strategy, and more: https://lnkd.in/gx3PCQ-y

People talk a lot about the importance of founders building from a place genuine passion and firsthand experience with the problem they’re out to solve. Few entrepreneurs embody this depth more than Chris Britt, the CEO/Cofounder of Chime, who is reshaping the financial system for the 70%+ of Americans who grew up in the type of environment in which he was raised — where people live paycheck-to-paycheck and earn $35,000 - $65,000/yr. Chris Britt, co-founder Ryan King and the team Chime has built their company the right way to impact durable change in the financial system: meticulously, steadily, and with humility and tremendous grit. Today, Chime is the undisputed largest challenger bank that’s the most aligned with consumers. https://lnkd.in/gctCa7TW.

Wonder is reshaping the restaurant & delivery model with a new propriety platform, so great food can (finally) scale. It's secret ingredient for success? Chefs' approval. Says Chef JJ Johnson: “'I was shocked they got it to be that good. It's going to be very successful, because they’ve done the groundwork. I talk to Bobby Flay about it all the time. He’s like, ‘JJ, I wish I had a Marc Lore at your age.’” For more on Wonder, read Kirsten Green's post in our weekly newsletter and Eater's deep dive on the business: https://lnkd.in/gx3efm-v https://lnkd.in/gZ2efNKq
