News of the Day
Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen's family is planning a large-scale development in Solano County, California, near the proposed California Forever utopian city. Spearheaded by Andreessen’s wife and her brother, the project involves building over 1,000 homes in Vacaville, leveraging land acquired by their father in the 1980s. While the development progresses, it faces local resistance, mirroring some of the challenges encountered by the California Forever initiative.

Believe it or not, it's dangerous for a startup to raise too much at too high a valuation. This sounds like a good problem to have, but it isn't. Both make your next round harder.
