Brain Dead Opens New NYC Outpost
Summary
Brain Dead, the Los Angeles-based creative collective known for its disruptive approach to fashion and culture, has recently opened its newest retail outpost in New York City, located at 202 Elizabeth Street. This expansion marks a significant step for the brand, solidifying its presence on the East Coast and offering a physical hub for its diverse community of fans and collaborators.
The new store features an urban interior design imbued with eclectic touches. As guests enter the store, they're welcomed with a large hippo art sculpture that's reminiscent of the one as seen in their Dover Street Market location in LA. Similarly, this sculpture also doubles up as storage space as well as a display space for the brand's products.
The decision to open a flagship store in New York City reflects Brain Dead's growing influence and its commitment to providing an immersive brand experience. Expected to serve as more than just a retail space, the store functions as a physical manifestation of the collective's ethos, bridging different worlds, scenes and perspectives under one roof, much like their existing Brain Dead Studios on Fairfax Street in Los Angeles.

Former Kings GM Monte McNair joining Clippers front office
The post Former Kings GM Monte McNair joining Clippers front office appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Clippers are adding to their front office staff before the NBA Draft in about a week, as they've landed an executive who used to be in their division, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Advertisement 'Former Sacramento Kings general manager Monte McNair, the 2022-23 NBA executive of the Year, is joining the Los Angeles Clippers in an advisor role, sources tell ESPN,' Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter. McNair and the Kings parted ways after the team failed to make the playoffs and lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the Play-In Tournament. Before that, the Kings were near the top of the Western Conference in 2023, which led McNair to win the Executive of the Year award. The Kings were the No. 3 seed in the conference, but lost to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Since then, the Kings have missed the playoffs two seasons in a row. McNair was with the team for five seasons, and they were 195-205 in that period. There were high expectations for the Kings this season after acquiring DeMar DeRozan, but Mike Brown was fired and De'Aaron Fox was traded during the year. McNair has shown that he has what it takes to find talent and make big deals, and the Clippers may need that type of expertise in their front office. Advertisement The Clippers had a solid season this year, and they made it all the way to the second round before losing to the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden proved to be enough for the Clippers to be one of the better teams in the league, and players such as Norman Powell and Ivica Zubac played above their standards this season. Going into the offseason, the key for the Clippers should be continuing to find depth to surround their stars, and McNair can be key in that.

Exclusive: Slide raises $25M Series A for data recovery
Slide, a data disaster recovery platform, locked up a $25 million Series A round led by Base10 Partners, cofounder and CEO Michael Fass tells Axios Pro. Why it matters: Business are searching for tools to protect data and business operations as ransomware and malware attacks increase and threats of network outages loom. How it works: Slide's business continuity and disaster recovery platform was built specifically for managed service providers that help secure small and medium-sized businesses. Catch up quick: The platform debuted in the market in February, but is already being used by hundreds of MSPs, Fass says. Zoom in: Outsiders Fund and Top Down Ventures also took part in the Series A. Founded in 2023, the Norwalk, Connecticut-based Slide has raised nearly $30 million. Context: Slide cofounder and chair Austin McChord was founder and CEO of security and cloud-based software company Datto, which was bought by IT management firm Kaseya in 2022 for about $6.2 billion. Fass served as general counsel and chief people officer at Datto. What they're saying: The Datto "transaction was not the outcome we had wanted," McChord says. "We thought, 'What if we start over and deliver the vision we have for MSPs?'"

Exclusive: Defense tech startup Onebrief hits $1.1B valuation
Onebrief, a maker of military workflow software, raised $20 million in new funding led by Battery Ventures at a $1.1 billion valuation, CEO Grant Demaree tells Axios Pro exclusively. Why it matters: The valuation almost doubles the company's $650 million valuation in a February deal led by General Catalyst. How it works: Onebrief's collaborative workflow platform helps military staff from different organizations stay up to date in real-time planning, while its AI features help with decision making. There also could be an opportunity to sell the platform to other parts of the federal government, such as FEMA and Homeland Security, says Michael Brown, general partner at Battery Ventures. Catch up quick: Defense tech funding has been on a roll, as best illustrated by Anduril's $2.5 billion raise led by Founders Fund at a $30.5 billion valuation earlier this month. What they're saying:"I think there's an understanding right now that we have to be on our front foot when it comes to defense," Brown says, speaking on current investor interest in defense tech. The bottom line: Demaree said it would be possible for the Honolulu-based company to raise again before the end of the year.
