Bradley Tusk is a venture capitalist, political strategist, and founder of Tusk Ventures Partners. Known for his work advising Uber, leading political campaigns, and pushing for mobile voting, Tusk has a unique perspective on the intersection of politics, tech, and venture capital. He joins The Demo Day Podcast to discuss: Why the US is doomed to a 4-year presidential cycle. VC valuations are broken - and public markets know it. The M&A and IPO wave that could return under Trump. Why social media is poison and the government must act. The urgent need for a national data privacy framework. The real reason Elon Musk is unhappy. How political incentives are broken - and what to do about it. The case for mobile voting and how it could reshape democracy.
