This Week in Startups Live returned to RocketSpace last Friday for a conversation so raucous that its YouTube video advises viewer discretion for strong language. Jason Calacanis and Dave McClure of 500 Startups entertained a laugh-ready, sold-out crowd, touching on immigration policy, the gender imbalance in the tech industry, investment strategies, and more. Here are some highlights as preserved for posterity in the Twitterverse:
