No one knew @Uber would be a success. But it ended up being one of the companies that defined the mobile era. I got to catch up live with my friend @sgorlick, who was employee #99 at Uber. We went deep into the early days at Uber and discussed how AI will impact marketplaces. We did this as a live session on Substack, where our subscribers got to attend and participate. The first one was rough, so jump to about 1:20 to get to the good stuff. Like all things startups, it is better to get launched and then iterate.

Financial models are back! For years founders rolled their eyes when I asked them to take me thru the model…. ‘I mean we have one, but we are pre-seed so it doesn’t mean anything’ Yikes noooo.
