Congrats on the launch guys! Full disclosure, I worked with Nick and Omar at Gusto. I saw firsthand how much software can help an ops team. Since we didn't have Flowdash at Gusto, we often scrambled for resources to empower our operati

My 2c as a former Gusto employee: The watermelon interview was no joke and not a rubber stamp. I wasn't on the watermelon crew but it was a real badge of honor at Gusto to "represent" Gusto's values. When we hired 200+ p

I used to be a PM at Gusto so I can add to Eddie's answer. As Eddie mentioned, it's non-trivial to keep the existing applications running as well as they do. That being said, a non-trivial amount of time/resources is spent ma

I think there's also some anchoring bias that happens with easy mental math calculations like 20 on 80, or 40 on 360, since the financial fundamentals don't matter at the earliest stage companies.

I'm confused by this comment. Doesn't Box sell an actual product that actual customers pay for? That's revenue. Now if you're referring to profit, then there's enough precedence of (technology) companies choosing to

I wonder if there's a lagging indicator of tech bellwether decline in innovation/disruption when they introduce a dividend. For example, Apple had a dividend in 1995. Then in 1996, Jobs came back and nixed it. Microsoft issued its

Completely agree. Facebook's feed is its most valuable real estate and it's primarily used for photo-sharing. If you "carpet bomb" it with requests and gaming spam, it becomes irrelevant. The discrete separation of Faceb

Some additional reasons: Yahoo's different parts cannot be traded and thus have no liquidity. There's a huge liquidity discount associated with that. If Yahoo were to sell the pieces of Y!Japan, Alibaba, etc. on the open market, i

I put them together because they're news items on financial shows/periodicals. I am not confusing the two (yes one is illegal, the other can do good). I apologize for the unintended obfuscation.

I think it's disingenuous to project motivations for Michael Lewis. Is he shilling for the buyside the same way he was shilling for the Oakland A's? In my opinion, the only thing we know based on facts is that Michael Lewis, the a

What's amazing is that Tesla has been providing NRE R&D for OTHER automotive companies for years already. Last year, $15 million of their revenue was from development services but as early as 2011, $55 million of revenue (>25%)
