Vimeo’s monthly metrics are a case study in… something. Maybe trusting management teams? Not a joke - guided to 5y sales CAGR of 30% in March 2021. https://i.imgur.com/V6CRBto.jpg

From Gurley on Ferriss - he is interested in better curation of individual stock research on Twitter and better takes on LinkedIn (too much performance art and no way to rank reliability of profiles). Really surprised no one has succeeded in building popular versions of either. Why?

How many influencer posts on LinkedIn / Twitter / etc are just GPT on a cron? Feel like it can generate some “start up hustle” / “business motivation” stuff nearly verbatim… maybe people like for the supposed author and not the two cents advice

Never ceases to amaze me how much 15 minutes of hyper focused work gets done. Removing distractions and making the time is the key here

I am also bullish on lots of the chat bot use cases, but most platforms you need to see config of account and exactly what customer is trying to do to provide real value. The config piece has lots of security implications to think about, the intent piece requires observing past behavior or asking questions to customer
