His work may be unsavory, but he's good at his craft. Frank Abagnale committed financial crimes and had a wildly popular movie made from his story.

Interesting take. Assumes we all benefit from playing into the system Uber created. Maybe true on a local maximum. But is it true on the global one?

Does this plug in to any KYB providers to handle exceptions? We have AiPrise already embedded but it'd be nice to have an agent do a first pass to review exceptions that get flagged for manual review.

Honestly I love the direction and I do this all the time. If you could 1) integrate directly with iMessage so I'm literally just texting and 2) have your interface provide me some sort of LLM summary tool/weekly digest/remind

This is really helpful thanks. Do you actively monitor how much customers owe you or even cap the size of their bill before they need to pay you? This would be in case they have a significant amount of usage in a period.

The problem most teams have with pricing is they think it’s a sales problem. It’s not. It’s a cross-functional problem that mostly has to do with product (how it’s bundled, which features are on which tiers, and how customers move between t

A rogue marketer at a former company spent weeks with Zapier "trying to improve analytics". They went way too far to the point of saying, "I almost re-built Segment with Zapier". Needless to say the Rube Goldberg machine

This is really well laid out and digestible. FWIW this is what growth teams think about all day when putting cash to work to grow the business. Revenue = new revenue + expansion - contraction - churn

As someone who's operated adjacent to this company for a number of years, I think it'll be a good thing for your firm. 1) They're doubling down on enterprise-grade features "with the goal to grow enterprise application l

That interesting. Could have a federated LLM approach with different orgs owning different LLM specialties. Commercial arrangement could look like telco’s roaming agreements.

It’s interesting they’re using the FFT. I’m guessing they’re using it for convolutions to increase the computation speed for calculating whether a given object placement and orientation interfere but my small brain wouldn’t really know. If

Glad to hear charcoal works. Picked up a Berkey filter years ago because a family member was insistent.

Meta does ~3B DAU, so this is about 0.16% of that.

If your customers are really SMBs it’d make sense to partner with low-code/no-code platforms. Those things are so slow (for reasons which escape my small brain).

Slight OT, but wow. What an example of how local optimizations within an organization can destroy long term customer value. Many comments below discuss how Amazon has lost customer trust through these practices. Most likely the PM or busine

Right. Seems like there’s opportunity to be the backend operating system to scale these practices. That’s what PE is supposed to be anyway, but they don’t run it like an owner-operator would.

Agreed. Had a family member receive an LOI at 10x EBITDA so they decided to sell (not sure where they closed). They mentioned that if a doctor would have purchased the practice, it would be 1x or 2x at best. Related: they would have been in

Yup you’re missing something. In addition to attracting qualified candidates, good job listings repel those who don’t agree with them. No one wants to sift through hundreds of applications. Here’s the main mission filter: “to help pioneer c
