Nobody has more experience understanding small business than Loren Feldman. More than two decades ago, he started at Inc., moved on to the New York Times, and then Forbes.
You’re not going to get on Bloomberg TV without impressing either one or both of these women, so make sure you read up.
Perhaps you saw Joanna Glasner’s July 16th CrunchBase News story about the spike in cybersecurity funding.
Cybersecurity was a hot area for venture investment in the first half of 2025, with total funding to the space hitting its highest level in three years… overall, we counted at least 11 rounds of $100 million or more for security- and privacy-focused startups in Q2.

The day is coming that you will not be able to avoid framing the targets in terms of red or blue. So far you’ve been able to do that. Those days are coming to a close: large swaths of “the audience” are headed in this direction. If you don’t believe it, read this from Bloomberg. You will never see better reporting than this.

In the latest installment of Sound Thinking...David Strom, a well-known IT reporter and security expert, discusses the threat of AI tricking security systems and luring them to catastrophe. What will that mean to editors? When will it happen? It’s not an if, it’s a when.
