Yeah close rate is a good alternative way to look at it. GC can always have Josh as a founder reference to chat with a founder on the fence - at current market they could probably turn over in one deal (i.e. opp to invest in another busines

The second point is really interesting - how instrumental was having a semi-public feed in them taking off? I use venmo b/c everyone I know has it, it has my bank info anyways, and it's easy to find people. Even now with a gazilli

The more people invest in ETFs/indexes/passively, the more opportunity there will be for active traders (indices by definition are adjusted to average and leave underpriced assets in the index), and so I don't think it's

"Over coffee, John Saito once mentioned to us that the product of Dropbox itself had more words than a Harry Potter novel!" Wow that is actually super cool to think about. I wonder what they mean by this (i.e. is it the product it

Is there any empirical evidence of Price’s law? Would love to see it. I could only find this study (admittedly from 1986) that disproved the original hypothesis - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs&#

We can tell whether the number is iMessage compatible (similar to how when you type in a new number to text on an iPhone you can tell whether it is iMessage compatible or not). So if it's not iMessage, we can send that number an SMS li

Yup great callout, something we think a lot about. We haven’t run into any rate-limiting yet, though are aware that it’s a possibility. iMessage returns the date_delivered which has been valid and we send an SMS in those cases. As for Appl

Hi all! Like many people here we wanted to reduce our monthly expenses given the time, and found Twilio to be one of the highest line items. When we dug into the data, we found that 80% of our users were iPhone users and thus could receive
