What is @rocketshipvc's advice to portfolio startups during these challenging times?
@rocketshipvc's Venky Harinarayan (@venky13) tells @ShereenBhan, "Just survival is not a goal. With constraints, how will you continue to grow?"
So devious! Keep folks from going to Walmart and Target for those 3 hours 😀
It’s nice to have unlimited money. @peter_king just told @MadDogUnleashed that Amazon is willing to pay “wild-card money,” which is $70 million and up, to air an NFL game, regardless of matchup, on Black Friday.
Think people (@JeffBezos) have the China-Elon angle wrong.
China has always had leverage on Elon. The twitter deal gives Elon some leverage on China for the first time.
At this point we shd view some of these billionaires like nation-states 😀
The $fb miss imho was about TikTok.
To build Reels, have to get to massive scale first before the monetization engine can kick in. Very expensive in near term - replacing high value Insta inventory with low value Reels.
Shd have bought TikTok in 2016

An important must-read book by @sukhindersingh. Nice to see her mention her time at Junglee so positively! Will never forget, after our Amazon acquisition, they asked me: who is this Sukhinder? a person or a department? 🤣🤣🤣 #ChoosePossibility
Has India ever had more medals than the US, at any point ever, in the Olympics? well, it happened today for what is likely a very brief moment in time 😀

Cool to see tech similar to what we built at Junglee, 25 years ago, being used for vaccine availability in WA. A Junglee colleague used it to find and sched vaccine and alerted me to it. covidwa.com
This whole whatsapp privacy issue has made realize, as individuals we shd stop worrying about our privacy. What we control has no impact. And on what impacts us, we have no control. So dont worry, be happy...
