Because we try things here and there. I love posting here, and LinkedIn also works well. Sometimes I post less in general, sometimes more.

We use that NPS as the most important metric to drive our fund's choices.
(We would share our Net Promoter Score here, but we don’t want our founders to feel we are using their feedback to market ourselves.)

NPS! Once a year we ask all our founders to do a short anonymous survey to give us feedback on what we can do better. We calculate a Net Promoter Score as part of this.

Through the academy, all teachers in the AFT will have access to free AI training. The first classes start this fall.
We have yet to see an AI-native generation enter the workforce. Today, that’s changing. Let’s make our generations the last ones that couldn’t take full advantage of AI.

The idea was inspired by other union training centers around the country – see what the carpenters, operating engineers, and hospitality workers have done

Randi and I talked about this idea for the first time at the union Labor Innovation & Technology Summit in January — she pulled her colleague Rob Weil over within minutes, and, building on work they’d already done with Microsoft, the ball started rolling.

If we can figure out how teachers should teach with and about AI, we can affect the lives of millions of educators, and millions and millions of young people.
And if we can figure out how to train teachers on using AI, maybe we can figure it out for other occupations.

We love serving founders like Kevin, Erin, and Jay — through all the gruel and delight of building a startup.
Congrats, Kevin and Mike, and to the whole Charter and SF Standard teams. This picture is a few minutes before we just met in San Francisco...

SF Standard has already proven its mettle — Griffin Gaffney, the CEO, has accomplished the rare feat of both quality and momentum for a new publication — and I look forward to seeing where the product goes from here.

And, of course, there’s the gravitas of the acquirer. Mike Moritz, one of the most successful investors of all time, the VC who started as a journalist (and continues to write), makes an acquisition: business journalism of the highest caliber.

He’ll bring the perspectives of the East Coast and its corporate and government leadership (back) to SF (where he once lived).
The SF Standard, which has been such a needed new voice in San Francisco, can now spread its wings even further, and sharpen its beak.

And now, San Francisco gains that wisdom. Kevin will add being the editor-in-chief for the SF Standard, while continuing to oversee Charter — moving from New York to where the AI action is in SF.

Each of them with their own leg of the stool. Charter reaches people professionals, and managers more generally, with modern, practical wisdom on how to work. In particular, they’ve offered one perspective after another on how non-technical people can actually apply AI in business leadership.

Yet I have still not found a journalist with anything but kind words for Kevin? Must be a secret to that.
What he, Erin Grau, @delaneyk.bsky.social, and the team at Charter have built is one of one.

Covering the full gamut of media, at places you’d read about founders like WSJ and NYT, then starting Quartz and, now, building Charter.
Kevin’s calm and principle comes without sacrificing speed or hunger. And when you talk to a journalist about editors, mostly they grouse.
