Green Ventures, Good Jobs: Early-Stage Innovation and an Inclusive Economy

A World Economic Forum story on how early-stage green startups are creating accessible jobs and what that means for founders and job seekers in climate work.

Why I recommend it: WEF is a business-backed forum, so its stories lean optimistic about corporate and startup solutions.

State of Markets II

a16z's second annual State of Markets report by David George, released September 30, 2026, with 100+ charts covering equity markets and tech for the first half of 2026. The post highlights tech's rise as the dominant force in capital markets — contributing roughly 76% of S&P 500 earnings growth in 2026 — and the rotation from software to hardware, as the AI buildout drives demand for semiconductors, power, and networking, funded by hyperscaler profits and increasingly by debt. Free to read on a16z's Substack.

Cosign

A reputation and vouching tool for the startup ecosystem — founders, investors and operators vouch for people they have actually worked with, so warm intros carry more weight.

Why I recommend it: Pricing is not published on the site, so treat the free tier as unconfirmed until you sign up. A vouching network is only as good as who else is on it.
