Shanley (Guest, VC InfoDocs)

Shanley, a VC InfoDocs researcher who maps venture capital networks, and Dana Elkurd, a political scientist specializing in Palestinian politics, join the conversation. They tackle venture capital's role in shaping tech power, crypto and the network state. They also cover Gaza: ceasefire violations, debates over armed tactics, disarmament and political legitimacy. Short, sharp, and provocative takes.

Dana El Kurd, an associate professor and Middle East analyst, gives on-the-ground reporting on Palestinian politics and Gaza governance. Shanley, a researcher at VC InfoDocs, investigates venture capital networks and the network state. They discuss maritime security risks, Palestinian debates over armed tactics, VC’s political power and the rise of network-state projects in multiple short, punchy conversations.
