From Connie Chan to Ethan Kurzweil, venture capitalists continue to play musical chairs
When Keith Rabois announced he was leaving Founders Fund to return to Khosla Ventures in January, it came as a shock to many in the venture capital ecosystem — and not just because Rabois is a big name in the industry. It was surprising because unlike in many other fields, venture capitalists don't traditionally move around very much — especially those that reach the partner or general partner level as Rabois had.

NASA orders studies from private space companies on Mars mission support roles
Mars exploration has always been the exclusive purview of national space agencies, but NASA is trying to change that, awarding a dozen research tasks to private companies as a prelude to commercial support for future missions to the Red Planet. It's the second time in a month that the agency has shown its desire for commercial support in Mars missions, having more or less scrapped the original Mars Sample Return mission in favor of a to-be-determined alternative, likely by private space companies. A total of nine companies were selected to perform 12 "concept studies" on how they could provide Mars-related services, from payload delivery to planetary imaging to communications relays.

Samsung's operating profit soars 930% as AI tailwinds drive demand for memory chips
Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday that its operating profit surged more than 930% in the first quarter of 2024, driven by soaring demand for its servers, memory chips and storage used in AI applications. The company, which struggled in 2023 as the macroeconomic slowdown hurt demand for its products, said its memory chip business returned to profitability, and prices continued to rise, thanks to solid demand for DRAM and NAND chips, high-density SSDs and servers. Samsung said total revenue increased 12.8% to KRW 71.2 trillion ($52.2 billion) in the quarter from a year earlier, while net profit rose 330% to KRW 6.75 trillion ($4.88 billion) compared to a year earlier.
