Read First Round Capital's blog/subscribe to their newsletter. Excellent. It's all you need.

The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz is great.

Blitzscaling is interesting. I dont agree with all of it.

Read Techcrunch, Term Seet, Quartz/CBInsights, Businessweek, Wired, Data Sheet (newsletter from Fortune) and subscribe to thought leadership from all the Valley firms.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Does anyone know how litigation finance works on the plaintiff side?

Or would one need to find funding and then contact a plaintiff’s firm to actually handle the case? I’m a transactional lawyer, so this is out of my wheelhouse.
