Name your favorite brands on the planet.

Most experiences try to be cosy, familiar, relatable - and thus become bland. Why? Interesting exploration by ⁦⁦⁦@alexjmurrell⁩ about the convergence of creativity in #design, #branding, #advertisement, #architecture, etc. alexmurrell.co.uk/articles/the-a…

Why investors misunderstand the #esports opportunity. As someone who sank some good money in the entertainment/games vertical I can relate. Easy to get excited about trends, hard to think them through AND be right about it...

@travisdevitt Heard this yesterday and thought about your tweet. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/the…

Deutsche Bank $DB is universally hated and the stock has been hammered for the past five straight years. It now trades for less than .3X tangible book value which leads me to believe there might be an asymmetric long investment setup here given the overwhelming one-sided view

Boom... Insect Protein Production specialist from France - @Ynsect - raises €110 million Series C. #Europe on the map of this fast developing vertical. Yay! Congrats to the team! buff.ly/2Sxsu3i #AgTech

Congrats @andrewfogg. Knowing a bit about the path in the last years towards this stage of product and this round I admire your passion and superhuman grit! Well deserved!!! Data wizards @importio raise 15m B-round. buff.ly/2EEPwD0 #data #DataScience

@MarginNoteApp Seems like Tage ‘Download Manual’ link is not working (404) here. marginnote.com/manual would love to find out how to delete books but not corresponding notebook + how to delete tags, etc. before I buy... thanks. Sven

Python code and math in a video games magazine?!? <3 @wireframemag is a new magazine for grown up nerds providing a look behind the curtain of the industry, technology and people. Really enjoyed the 1st issue. Check them out: buff.ly/2TGG721
