Impressive but also every company on this list has a ton of hype on Twitter with consensus.
Impressive to be in today, anyone would want him as an angel, but let’s see where everything is in 7 years - not that these companies won’t win but hard to be non consensus and right

Yeah but Adyen doesn’t have a secret VC mafia to keep out competitors like Bolt. That’s worth at least $10B

I’d argue Netflix was a tech company when video streaming was innovative. Now it’s a commodity.
Maybe they can become a tech company again with gaming

Love this- navigating health care system is tough and our bodies change every few years so have to be aware and proactive about how to handle healthcare system! Last year was a big year for visiting doctors for me

$MTCH stock is a beast that is powered by Tinder. The market was too skeptical last year when $FB announced a dating app. Was an easy buy for me.
Congrats on the continued success

The number of cases feels a lot higher than the data shows. Anecdotally, I know a lot of people with covid right now - I think they're mostly just self-testing / not reporting

Absolutely.
I wonder how much of the world will move toward generated content. Hundreds of millions of people watch e-sports but prefer humans for physical sports. Imagine this will create a category but also maybe more for the fantasy and for people to get their start.

disagree with this because it doesn't touch on the core of what pitching these VCs is about:
Practicing pitching to these VCs is about the founder getting their story crisp rather than getting feedback from investors

Betting on companies that haven’t yet been winners to turn things around. I’ve riden down a few stocks as they tanked over a long period of time and while it’s possible to reverse the trend, much easier to invest in winners. I was too patient on $SKLZ and $JMIA as emerging plays

When I read about the Flexport “industry skeptics”, it’s clear the old guard is afraid of having to compete with better service/tech and can’t easily adapt without cannibalizing their biz
@typesfast
Every other company in the industry either runs on third-party software or main frames.
In both of these cases, they have no hope of innovating.
Flexport is the only company that owns its own destiny and can build the future everybody thinks should exist.

Feels like a pendulum.
In a down market, employees will flock to the annual stock grants for protection
In a bull market, 4 year stock grants would be better because you get all of the upside
