Totally right. The art and science of translation is an age-old debate and where AI isn’t super well suited. We’re not at a point where it ends up more than a summary but the point is the proper “translation” of the…
I had a friend who worked there and we discussed potential solutions to this after the 2019 spike (I worked at a BNPL fintech and now at an insuretech). It was really a lot for a startup to do and no third parties would…
I believe that discrimination narrative is largely based on test scores. Which are, and it took me decades to come around to this, fairly biased. Outcomes have been shown to be pretty equal regardless of relative…
I’m all for this (meaning bringing diverse co-investors into rounds). I’d add that as entrepreneurs we should add LP riders when doing rounds (where’s your money from?!). Can’t say I know all these funds super well -…
Tbf, that sounds like a bit of a weird spot in LAH :). But generally agree with your point!
Definitely don’t joke about it - but people should be aware that poor performance or behavior won’t be tolerated. The best employees generally appreciate that meritocracy is taken seriously. Along those lines, advice to…

Why’s that frightening? Over the last 20 years they’ve disrupted a bunch of incumbents through better customer experience and ruthless execution. I think Amazon’s lack of clear moral position on key issues is concerning…
The Affirm loan product for peloton is 0% only (with no late fees in any circumstance).
It's not really stupid if you realize it's very likely an Uber PR piece masquerading as an article :). In that sense, it makes quite a bit of sense!
I think you underestimate what a dumpster fire that group is
Presumably this a PR article?
Sankey Diagrams. Useful for complex funnels!
I find it rather ridiculous and unprofessional that his personal site is the version of this that's up here.
The real reason - it gives him a differentiated brand which drives certain types of entrepreneurs to Founder's Fund. Since he started down this branding exercise with that New Yorker piece in 2011, I'm sure he gets much…
What am I using to login with my bank? Yodlee?
We'll try not to be too judgey :)
This idea of money as simply electronically stored value was actually pushed hard by Dee Hock back in the 70s. He even talked about the ability of someone with a secure network or transactional platform to create new…
The founder Dileep George was a founder/advisor at Numenta. I believe it was his paper on HTMs that led to its founding. He left in 2010, but curious as to how Recursive Cortical Networks differ from Numenta's product,…
I think the real takeaway here is: "Email is a better marketing channel then Facebook"
Wait, her husband was "married" to a guy for 10 years before they got married? How often does that happen? "Before his marriage to Ms. Pao, Mr. Fletcher lived in the Dakota with Hobart V. Folkes Jr., his partner of more…
Is this really true? seems like the early and late stage guys are doing pretty well raising funds. - Summit closed 2 funds with a combined 3.2bn in January - NEA is raising 2.5bn - AH raised 1.5bn - General Catalyst is…
