I predict a "claw boom" - a proliferation of different 'claw versions and variants.

@ellenjdasilva Let’s just say: there will be a LOT of start up board meetings this weekend. 🙄
English
@wingod I don’t, sorry.
Venture funds generally don’t sit on a pile of cash - they do
“capital calls” from Limited Partners as needed for investments.
Absent a buyer or bailout this weekend, LPs may be seeing emergency capital calls early next week. 🙄

This feels like a Black Friday for the entire startup ecosystem. Read this thread.

Because Silicon Valley/tech is a place that loves to live in delusion, I'm seeing some takes about SVB that say "this will be fine, the FDIC will take care of it." The FDIC is only on the hook for $250K per bank account, which is not going to cover even one executive's salary.

I'm ready to come back to HubSpot.
While I was gone the progress was non-stop.
I'm going to take on a new executive Chairman role.
We're promoting @YaminiRangan into the CEO fold.
The combined team will keep things running hot.

@GMEshortsqueeze @Lactucae Games are an even BETTER candidate for digital delivery than DVD movies, because of the follow-on business models (DLC, etc.)
Pivoting from retail stores to a competitive game delivery platform: very, VERY tough.
A tactical market squeeze isn't a viable long-term strategy.

At some point, all the folks pushing/buying GameStop will figure out that they're holding the next Blockbuster (capital "B").

@GMEshortsqueeze Yes: exactly like GameStop, Blockbuster was a business with a large retail footprint that was selling physical products that transitioned to on-line, digital purchasing and distribution.

@payne92 The "Blockbuster" joke is pretty old now. Same thing was said in 2014: cnbc.com/2014/04/22/sho…
Why do you say Blockbuster? Any analysis?

@TeamYouTube For YouTube TV, how about additional keyboard shortcuts for skipping by 30 and 60-second increments?
