Thanks @andrewrsorkin @OsAnsari for a signed copy of 1929. A must read for market historians!

Interesting thread. Worth a read!

@Jason If only someone was an early investor in uber, the world would be right!

Can someone show Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake the uber app?

If Travis uses Atoms to buy Uber back one day, that will be an epic redemption story.

@justindross @roelofbotha @rabois Congrats JD!

The acquisition of Prevu expands @reAlpha's Realty footprint from 3 to 13 states + D.C. We're currently focused on markets with the highest transaction volume. For context, the top 10 states represent over 60% of national home sales. Over the next few posts, I'll break down the importance of this transaction.

@bhalligan Contextualize the motivation and trustworthiness of the stakeholder providing the criticism. Sadly not all criticism is constructive.

A founder asked me how he could develop thicker skin - more immunity to criticism. Any advice here for him?

@pitdesi Great to see more IPO announcements but arguably smarter to own $SOFI

Chime filed their S-1 They are on pace for >$2B in revenue this year, close to profitability. 8.6M Active members, 67% of them use it as primary account. They make $251 per active member, with an 88% gross margin.

@pitdesi Climate Change vs Global Warming?

I agree with this. Are there any examples of a great rename?

@AthleticBrewing should partner with @Delta - it’d be nice to have a healthy NA option on a flight.

@davidrgoldberg Check out @BuddyBrewCoffee - great company out of Tampa. Coffee and espresso beans avail online.

Any recs on great coffee (whole beans) to buy online?

@pitdesi Convenience of curated content for consumers is super sticky.

Help me understand Spotify - it just crossed $100B in market cap and I'm not an investor. I had the chance to invest while it was private and I got a fundamental assumption wrong, and I'm still not exactly sure what I missed. My assumption: I thought the artists and record labels would have too much power in the relationship with Spotify, because Spotify needs to have a complete catalog. Netflix doesn't need a complete library of every movie or TV show (you only watch them once, users subscribe to multiple video services), but music listeners want virtually all songs in the app. My assumption was that If Taylor Swift says she's moving off Spotify, they lose millions of customers and do whatever they can to keep her. Tay-Tay has a lot of power in the relationship and can extract a lot of value, eroding margins. But it doesn't seem like that has happened. The only artist I can think of who isn't on Spotify is Garth Brooks. Now of course Spotify itself is such a behemoth that they have a lot of power in the relationship... but how did it get to be that way? Probably just a misunderstanding of the music industry... thoughts?
