It might be a way to build awareness and goodwill, but they are burning VC capital to offer a service that is either fundamentally unsustainable or mispriced. I'm clutching my pearls so hard after reading this, I may have uttered a &

That was a great little scene in that movie, Lawrence's advisor buddy made the most of his 4 or 5 lines of dialogue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLLgNi5UmB0 (4 minute clip from the movie, warning, spicy language ge

I would say that ClubHouse produces intimacy as a service. Intimacy as a sevice, the world's oldest profession... now backed by venture capital.

We're an iPhone family, but damn is that lame. How about: make the best product. Don't coerce people into buying an iPhone. But iMessage isn't the product, it's a feature of the product. They think by not letting those

Why would you lose who you are if you merely lost on a big bet (say, as an entrepreneur?) I think you may be reading too much - you imply that a big bet will always mean sacrificing your friends and family, but i do not believe that to b

I suppose if you've been sitting on the sidelines since 1971 to see if this whole "e-mail thing" was a fad or not, and currently don't have an email address, a 14 day trial with some rando address might be just what you&

This whole story is pretty interesting and so far removed from almost every new thing we see today, but that 50's-ish TournaTrain promo reel with its outlaw country soundtrack, it's just... chef's kiss

Translation, both Microsoft and Google have train cars full of money to light on fire in the short term to subsidize long term contracts and integrations. It'll be interesting to see who is number 2 in three and then five years.
