Day one at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2017 will provide insight from Derek Jeter, Stuart Ellman, Mark Thompson, Brittany Packnett and many other industry leaders.

Currently, Mark Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of The New York Times Company, is covering the state of the media.

Watch the live stream via YouTube from New York at #TCDisrupt 2017.

Stuart Ellman, RRE Ventures, speaks with a group of investors during day one. In the tweet above he states that higher taxes can hurt startups, but I have a contrastive point of view. I see from his point of view on taxes, but from a startup point of view, I support higher taxes to pay for healthcare, education and infrastructure.

Rather than hype the idea that lower taxes help the overall population, it could be more progressive to see the group challenge his perspective on stage.
