A new economic working paper out this week shows that minority entrepreneurs, “especially Black business owners, struggled more than white borrowers to find a willing lender” for Paycheck Protection Program funds, with the bias “particularly pronounced at smaller banks” - NYTimes
KKR founders and PE titans Henry Kravis and George Roberts are stepping aside, effective immediately. Though the duo will “remain ‘actively involved’ as executive co-chairmen of the board,” a new pair—Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall—have taken over as co-chief execs - NYTimes and WSJ
