Nearly 70% of NYC taxi “accidents” are staged. Slam-brake scammers are a huge problem that puts cab drivers at risk. But NYC’s taxi fleet just got a lot sharper. RSCM portfolio company DisplayRide Inc has teamed up with American Transit Insurance Co, NY State Federation of Taxi Drivers, and NYAB INSURANCE to launch Operation Bright Eye. Five hundred yellow cabs will be wired with DisplayRide’s AI dashcams in a pilot program that takes direct aim at the $1B insurance-fraud cartels bleeding drivers dry. The broader for-hire sector in NYC consists of more than 100k vehicles, illustrating the scale of the issue and the potential impact of successful safety and fraud mitigation efforts. NYC is watching for scammers—and DisplayRide is recording. 🎥⚔️ Congrats to the DisplayRide team! #Displayride #NYC #OperationBrightEyes #Insurtech #RSCMPortfolio

126% more projects per week. That’s what dev teams achieve when they pair their coders with a GenAI copilot. But acceleration without discipline is a cliff‑edge. In our latest piece, two RSCM founders (Kristina Fan from 7 Chord Inc and Nick Ross from Home Spritz) share how they let the machines assist with coding while humans keep both hands on the wheel. Ready to unleash speed *and* sanity? ➡️ Read “Move Fast, Check Twice” for their playbook. https://lnkd.in/e8gh5PYr #GenAI #EngineeringLeadership #StartupLife #RSCMPortfolio #GenAIandEngineering

Thinking of raising funds? Check out this advice from RSCM Managing Director Dave Lambert.
Founders often scramble to prep materials *after* a VC shows interest. That’s backward. You should be ready for diligence before your first meeting with a VC. Smart founders: 🗂 Have their data room ready 📊 Can share a clear KPI dashboard if asked 💸 Keep clean, up-to-date financials 📣 Track and communicate metrics Flailing around getting your files in order can erode investor trust. Put in the work ahead of time and it will build confidence in you and your company. #FundraisingAdvice #StartupTips #RSCMFounderFriday

Greenhill, MD has been named for a fourth year in a row as one of BC’s most influential business leaders on the 4th edition of the BC500 list by BIV News.

These are the visionaries, innovators, and changemakers who lead with purpose, connection, and integrity. In addition to Dr. Greenhill, the list includes Careteam’s investors, partners, cheerleaders and supporters - Christina Anthony, John Montalbano, Michael Volker, Jill Earthy, Keith Ippel, Sue Paish, Suzanne Gill, Wendy Hurlburt, Ray Walia, FCPA, FCMA, Kirsten Koppang Telford, Daryl Hatton, Jill Tipping, FCPA, FCA, Laurel Douglas, ICD.D, Christine Bergeron, Sarah Hoffman and many others!

New QSBS rules are now in effect. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 expands tax benefits for investors and founders holding Qualified Small Business Stock. Here’s what’s changed: 1. Gains excluded sooner. QSBS now operates on a tiered system: - After 3 years, 50% of your capital gain is tax-free - After 4 years, 75% is tax-free - After 5 years, 100% is tax-free (unchanged) This makes earlier exits significantly more attractive while still rewarding longer-term holding. 2. The benefit cap is bigger—and indexed for inflation. The exclusion cap per taxpayer per company has increased from $10M to $15M, with automatic inflation indexing starting in 2027. That means more tax savings for high-performing deals. 3. More companies are eligible. The asset ceiling for qualifying as a "Qualified Small Business" is now $75M, up from $50M. This change broadens QSBS eligibility to more mid- and late-stage startups. Summary: For investors, this raises the ceiling on tax-adjusted returns. For founders, it unlocks earlier liquidity without sacrificing all QSBS advantages. We’ve broken it down further on our blog → http://bit.ly/4nTaMHm

Founders often feel pressure to project certainty. But when Pineapple Academy hit a rough patch, Tucker Graves did the opposite—he opened up to existing investors. That moment of transparency didn’t scare people off. It brought the right help in. Vulnerability isn’t a liability. It’s how you earn real support.

Right Side Capital Management reposted this
You can have a great company and still not get funded. That’s one of the hardest truths about fundraising in 2025. It’s not about being “good enough.” It’s about being the best option for an investor in a market where dozens of great teams are raising at the same time, often at the same valuation, with similar stories. Investors don’t make decisions in a vacuum. They compare. So it’s not a judgment on your potential if the round is tough. It’s a reflection of a competitive system with limited slots. What can you do? 💡 Sharpen your differentiation 📈 Build traction ✍️ Articulate your edge with clarity Fundraising isn’t fair. But it is navigable. And the founders who understand the market context—not just their own goals—are the ones who break through. #FundraisingAdvice #StartupTips #RSCMFounderFriday
