Hello from Silicon Valley,

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its prevalence on a global scale, Google recently announced that they will provide employees with the option to work from home until at least next summer. Many expect other large technology companies to adopt similar policies.

As Silicon Valley continues to evaluate what a new status quo may look like, we are encouraged that companies can in fact become stronger during challenging times as they align their value propositions to the realities of the market. In this newsletter, we explore some of the growing trends in Mobility, FinTech, and Venture Capital that paint a picture of the innovative disruption triggered by COVID-19 and the brighter future that lies ahead because of it.

All our best,
Brent and the Geodesic Team
