The fight to save Rent the Runway From Becky Peterson: A few months ago, the best way to see the influence of Jenn Hyman's business was to visit any office mail room in Manhattan. The heaps of dark garment bags that piled up each morning contained designer clothing worn by female employees of every rank and level waiting to be shipped back to Hyman's startup, Rent the Runway. For the female office workers who dropped off the bags and awaited their next delivery, Rent the Runway was as essential to the job as a laptop. If you liked someone's outfit and asked them where they got it, the answer was usually Rent the Runway. Today, chances are those devoted customers are working from home, if they still have a job, and they are not decked out in $400 sheath dresses. The coronavirus has swept away the piles of dark bags along with Rent the Runway's revenue stream. Becky spent hours talking to Hyman and spoke to more than two dozen of her colleagues and former coworkers. Per her story: The picture that emerged was of a smart, visionary leader who's proved to be resolute in a crisis and who has not been afraid to speak out about her experience as a female CEO in a male-dominated industry. But that outspokenness has sometimes been received as that of a leader who can't handle criticism. You can read the full story here:
The LeBron James of investing 
From Bradley Saacks and Alex Morrell: Dan Sundheim has quickly become an investor to follow since launching his fund D1 Capital after working as the chief investment officer at Andreas Halvorsen's Viking Global. The Wharton grad has at least $1 billion in personal wealth between his assets in his firm, stake in the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, real-estate portfolio, and art collection, which includes a Jean-Michel Basquiat that he bought off the disgraced financier Jho Low. Despite his flashy purchases, those who have known Sundheim for decades say he's still the same guy he was when he was a 20-year-old frat brother at the University of Pennsylvania — a low-key, smart friend who never seems to get too worked up about anything. His investing prowess, though, has become the stuff of legends, with D1 returning more than 78% after fees in its public-equity portfolio since it launched about two years ago.

From Blake Dodge and Hugh Langley: Nearly two years since Google Health came together, it's still unclear how the group fits into the company's bigger vision for healthcare or how it'll make money, Business Insider has learned through conversations with former and current Alphabet employees, a review of internal documents, and conversations with healthcare-industry experts. Google Health's work with search and clinical tools is promising, but it's early and the group leans heavily on other parts of Google for partnerships. Much of the past 20 months has been spent ironing out its goals and how it fits in with other health-focused parts of the business, such as Google Cloud and Verily. While Google Health has struck up deals to work with large health systems such as Ascension and Stanford Medicine over the past two years, talks with some other major players including CVS Health and The Gates Foundation have fallen apart along the way, Business Insider has learned. Experts within the healthcare industry are still confused over what Google Health actually does. You can read the full story here: Also read:
