Also a great insightful read is their manual: https://github.com/Bloomberg-Beta/Manual

I'm excited about their future of work investments.


The operating manual was posted on HNN three weeks ago:

One of Bloomberg Beta's investors (@mkim) responded on that thread, which was pretty cool.


I love the initiative of transparency for the fund, I really appreciate the manual and it’s a crazy trove of insights for potential owners.

That being said, I dislike the experience of going to Github for the info, clicking a link, having a Medium article open up, it just feels fractured and hard to maintain in the long term.

Basically, really like the guide but I feel like the fund could use some money to build a better... collaborative book.

I also have a problem with their decision to invest in companies that basically they feel have a chance for shooting for the stars, but that’s their fund decision.

Would love if anyone can provide similar insights to this VC whirlwind going on.


Very interesting idea to put this on GitHub.

As a side, I think there's room in the market for a company that builds a place for companies to version control their manuals. I've seen several companies that would like to keep a GitHub-like version control history of their mission, values, operating guidelines and track major changes in company.

GitHub seems too complicated and non-reader friendly. Any tools out there for this?


GitBook comes to mind.


you mean like MediaWiki?


Their reason why they are on Github is interesting. Is Git the new Wiki?


seems like pretty standard stuff
