With the New York Mayoral primary behind us and still no winner officially declared among the Democrats, our political attention returns to the federal level. Yesterday, our elected officials had a bipartisan “breakthrough,” reaching an agreement on a nearly $1TN infrastructure deal. In addition, with the July 4th holiday just around the corner, President Biden has admitted it's unlikely we'll meet the 70% first-dose vaccine goal he previously set.

Here’s a look at this week’s top stories from PrivCo:

  • For our NBA Playoffs edition, we ran through the top teams in terms of valuation and looked at how the playoff's final 8 teams rebounded in revenue since the sequestered 2020 season. Check out the top teams here.

  • General Catalyst Partners has an entrepreneurial advantage in its decision-making in early-to-growth stage investments. The firm has signed checks for some of the biggest names in the startup world, like Airbnb, Stripe & Oscar. Learn more about General Catalyst.

  • Broad marijuana legalization and a widening consumer base mean the cannabis industry is booming. The industry grew from $10.7BN to $18.3BN in the last year and is projected to grow to $41.5BN by 2025. Read about it here.

  • After the devastating setbacks and many closures created by COVID-19, innovations in the restaurant industry have been crucial for businesses to stay afloat. We looked at the concept and iterations of ghost kitchens that have regained popularity since the pandemic. Catch up.
