A smattering of topics this month, including Marc Andreesen on why the IPO is dying; cogent advice on why founders should get some early liquidity; analysis and context of the S&P 500’s historic close above 2,000;  our former professor Max’s advice on how to notice what Harvard MBA’s miss; a brief from consultancy McKinsey on monetizing mobile APIs; and for extra credit (just in case you were wondering) an explanation of why Google is buying all the robots.
