This week, Fortune held its annual Brainstorm Health conference and it was electric. Fortune Well editor Jennifer Fields and senior writer Erika Fry cochaired the event along with health tech venture capitalists Deena Shakir and Christina Farr. It included a range of industry titans from Chelsea Clinton to CVS CEO Karen Lynch to Denise Bradley-Tyson, who created the Bernard J. Tyson Impact Fund to invest in health equity solutions. You can find all our coverage of the event here, and some select stories from it below.
One other powerful read I want to leave you with this week is about a relationship gone very wrong. You’ve probably seen headlines in recent weeks about the former CTO of Square, Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed on the streets of San Francisco. At first, it was assumed the stabbing was a senseless crime, which left lots of the tech community blaming the city for becoming unsafe. It turns out Lee knew his alleged stabber, Nima Momeni, and there’s a lot more to the story behind their relationship.
Fortune‘s Kylie Robison and Leo Schwartz set out on a multiweek reporting assignment to start piecing the mysterious death together. Here’s Kylie on how their reporting unfolded:
Fortune spoke to more than a dozen individuals, including friends, coworkers, and acquaintances of Lee and Nima Momeni, to investigate the connection between the two men and the aftermath that occurred. The story explains the lives of Lee and Momeni, who ran in the same circles, but had very different upbringings; Lee in Missouri, where he was a water polo star, and Momeni in Iran, from where he emigrated to the U.S. at a young age. Lee contributed significantly during the heyday of the Silicon Valley tech scene, making outsize contributions during his career, including helping to build the now-ubiquitous Cash App. Now, as the realization of Lee’s death sinks in, the legal system will come into play.
Commercial real estate headwinds—which are particularly strong in the office space sector—will increase the risk of defaults, distress, and delinquencies.
