Where US unicorns still cluster — and why copying the map fails (opens the original)
Read excerpt
• US unicorns cluster hard in a handful of metros — the Bay Area and NYC above all. But where a “region” starts and ends is fuzzy. • Seed valuations is a valuable signal: Data shows the top quartile become unicorns 5.6% of the time, vs. just 0.8% at the bottom. But it’s a proxy, not a goal. • The job isn’t manufacturing unicorns. It’s widening the credibility pool so more teams get priced into that top bracket. If you’re trying to understand where America’s biggest startups come from, there’s an
Visiting the new Museum of the Philadelphian to understand place (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Danya Henninger and I are squabbling about this. She’s Technical.ly’s editorial director and before that a longtime culture writer and editor about Philadelphia. I’ve spent 20 years following what changes — or doesn’t — in this place I call home. I also happen to have a longstanding fixation on the concept of micromuseums: small spaces with few objects curated around a tightly defined subject.

Defense tech is an economic development boom. Should it be? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

More Americans have seen a ghost than have visited North Dakota (opens the original)
Read excerpt
• Just 14% of Americans have ever visited North Dakota, making it the second least-visited state, ahead of only Alaska. • One in five Americans say they’ve personally seen a ghost (20%), and nearly half hold a passport, meaning more Americans travel abroad than have ever set foot in the state. • Low visitation compounds brain drain and rural decline; North Dakota’s play is exposure through its agtech, aerospace and science engines — because curious visitors become future residents. One in five A
What does it mean for a business to fail? Lessons from REC Philly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
• REC Philly, the creative membership company founded by childhood friends Dave Silver and Will Toms, closed in December 2025 after a decade that ran from fraternity-basement concerts to a 10,000-sq.-ft. complex in Center City. • Two outside shocks hit the company: a Miami expansion backed by Sean Combs shortly before his arrest, and a pandemic that redefined what physical space was for. • Silver’s launch party for his new self-published book, “Life’s a Hike,” drew former members, employees and
