Some never shut their doors while others remain closed, depending on how dangerous the virus threat in their region is perceived to be. The legal requirements are just as varied. Nevertheless, many operators are implementing similar checklists. In this article, you will find examples of this as well as what coworking spaces can expect in the first few weeks after they reopen.

I believe that black lives matter. I understand that the phrase black lives matter speaks to a movement to stop the murders of black people at the hands of the police. I also understand that it speaks to a broader protest movement seeking to reduce the unchecked power of the police. I support these efforts and am sympathetic to them. But the words black lives matter mean even more to me.

In 1963, during what is arguably his most well-known speech , Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. imagined a time when Blacks in America would be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. The events of the past days in this country have many of us, again, examining the issue of content of character, but not of any individual – of our nation.

By: Dan Rosen, Alliance of Angels To: The Angel Community After publishing my companion piece, “ How Startups Survive the COVID-19 Economic Crisis ,” I have received a number of comments about how this impacts angels and angel investing. Here are my thoughts. Unlike VCs, who have a fund to invest and collect a management fee for investing their fund, Angel Investors invest their own money and are under no pressure to invest in any company or at any time.

This shift not only boosts productivity but also automates processes and improves security. The tech market offers a wealth of technologies tailored for management, planning, and forecasting, replacing outdated pen-and-paper methods.
