1/ As a board member, I’ve advocated against selling a company (with an impassioned speech and slide deck about the glorious IPO-crowned future). I’ve also been the person to point out the elephant in the room - that a startup can’t or shouldn’t raise more money, needs to sell.

@wookiebait @Tesco I knew I could count on your support.

Oliver Baxter@belsimian·14 May

Throwing this one out there. Is @Tesco's new approach to dip packaging (no more solid resealable plastic lid, now only single-use film lid) a sustainable move to produce less plastic, or cunning ploy to make me finish an entire tub of Taramasalata in one sitting? Genuine question

Watch the first minute of this. Pretty good reasons to vote Labour in the next election. Excellent campaigning from Peter Cruddas here 😂

(2/2) Their work on the Own Our Venues campaign & pioneering Pipeline Investment Fund (placing a levy on tickets sold at major vanues to support grassroots independent venues) are contributing to a turning of the tide that threatens independents. Currently 1 closing a week 😱

100% agree - so much achieved in such a short time. Just met Beverley (COO of MVT) for the first time since 2015, when they were just established, and CEO @markdavyd delivered a blistering dressing-down to greedy major arenas and venue networks at @FocusWales this morning. (1/2)

Dan Salter@EchoesAndDan

I can’t think of a single industry advocacy / lobbying body that has got as much done in as short a time as the MVT. Huge hat tip to their effort & dedication.

Not to pick on this artist, but © is the reason digital royalties exist. Revenue sharing in this manner is a licensing deal invoking certain exclusive rights—both right of publicity & right to control the making of derivative works. Killing © would mean no royalties for anyone.

Is the discussion ‘should AI recreate music?’ or is the discussion ‘Why is contemporary music so homogenised & formulaic that it’s really easy to copy?’

Ian Miles Cheong@ianmiles

AI-generated music is indistinguishable from the real thing. A new AI Drake tune just dropped.

Another step begins in the Musk playbook. Force independent, trusted news outlets off Twitter, control/influence 100% the remaining news content on the platform (and continue to influence the remaining rats that haven't fled the sinking ship?).

Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D@RVAwonk

Oh wow, this is big: NPR is quitting Twitter — on all 52 of its official Twitter feeds. This is in response to Twitter's (wrong) decision to label the network "state-affiliated media," a label traditionally applied to state-run media in autocratic regimes. npr.org/2023/04/12/116…

So there you have it. While extremely rare these startups prove that it's possible to get acquired for billions without relying on venture capital. So bootstrap your startup. Keep the majority of the exit. Tres comas.

You rarely hear about bootstrapped startups getting acquired for billions or hundreds of millions. I'm talking tres comas exits. Billion dollar outcomes. No investors. However it's happened. It's possible. Here's 10 of the largest bootstrapped startup acquisitions to date: 🧵
