In 2023, defense technology recruiter Peterson Conway VIII pulled up to the offices of fusion startup Hughes in a black suburb, wearing his iconic cowboy hat. He picked up a recent hire at Hughes and began regaling her with stories from his old days as a new employee. In one story, prostitutes attended a recruiting event (“not for sex,” Conway clarified to TechCrunch). The new employee was not satisfied. “I thought that was a funny thing to say,” Conway said with a sigh, admitting that he was “a hell of a person.” Fuse founder JC Btaiche overheard the conversation, agreed,…

New York City's congestion pricing, set to take effect Sunday, will give credits to riders who pay for the first month, Lyft said. The New York City program, which aims to reduce traffic in Lower Manhattan and simultaneously raise funding for mass transit, was suspended in June by Gov. Kathy Hochul and then ultimately reduced. It was reopened at a reduced price. Different fees are set for each vehicle depending on the time of day. During the day, it costs $9 to drive a regular car below 60th Street in Manhattan, while ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft cost $1.50…
The new year brings with it, at least in some sense, hope for a better tomorrow. In the world of venture capital, nothing is completely predictable. The number of companies in the U.S. has plummeted as risk-averse institutional investors have poured money only into big Silicon Valley companies, the Financial Times reported. The only category that seems important is AI, and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. But the new year is only just beginning, and perhaps the impetus for change is also increasing. We spoke to several VCs to hear their predictions for the new year: the…

But for the thousands of small business owners who rely on Bench, a Canadian-based accounting and tax startup that has raised $113 million from investors including Bain Capital Ventures and Shopify, it's been a complete mess.
