Perfect timing as we have a huge need for this for an upcoming launch. Question...will you be able to replay/backfill as you add new integrations? For example, Klaviyo is a huge hole in your integrations right now especially for market

Craiglist generates tons of cash, wildly profitable, no investment Bose has always funded itself via profits for 50 years with no outside investment. $3b-$4b revenue last year. Beats waited 4-5 years and was huge before taking first equity

As a former early Munchery (and Airbnb) employee, you sound like the worst type of arm chair quarterback – hopelessly wrong. Munchery was first mover in the space and is an order of magnitude bigger than most in the space, and already doing

This. I've been back multiple times over the years to run some small campaigns for some big startups there and can't believe how bad and rough around edges their tools and processes are. If I didn't love reddit so much there

I've managed tons of product launches at Airbnb, Munchery and other startups as a consultant. Do not launch on Thanksgiving. Trust me. Delay until the week after. Also you should know that Thanksgiving through New Years is by far the w

definitely this. Can get more expensive quick too, especially if a video requires multiple locations, multiple actors, multiple actors speaking, etc etc. Also I can't remember if Adam does this, but most the industry will have differen

FWIW the Airbnb video stars a very talented Airbnb employee, Venetia Pristavec, who ran video efforts there since the early days.

Everything. Researching is horrible. Purchase flows suck. Fees suck. Portfolio analysis terrible – For example on a stocks page there isn't even an easy way to see existing positions, let alone my historical purchases like when, how mu

Not super active. Few trades a month. Mostly for fun and to get skin in companies I believe in. Sharebuilder is horrible. Will check out Schwab thanks!

I have a feeling this story is far, far from being over. And I'm very curious as to how the fuck this happens. I haven't seen many theories in general, let alone theories with much evidence behind them about how this could have ha

No they can work fine anywhere just like Dominos can. They just need to get transaction/delivery volume up, so that density of orders shrinks the coverage area for any given "driver agent". Scaling while trying to maintain b

Yes but it'd be insanely easy for a company like UPS with the data it has to: - Give you a preprogrammed recommended stop route. - recommended stop route can auto-adjust throughout day based on variables like traffic etc - the only tim

As a former Airbnb employee, this is honestly the only thing I don't like about the rebrandredesign! Airbnb pry has one of, if not THE, world's largest collection of amazing real estate photography. It's possible some massive

Are you managing your FB ads in house or via agency? It sounds like in house, which I always highly recommend is best. However, you might consider reaching out to one of the big FB ad partners like Nanigans. $100k+ account with known ROI, w

Back-weighting seems backwards to me, especially for early employees. They receive less options for the risky, earlier stage and more options for once things are stable and proven. Most startups won't even make 4 years, and therefore e

Thanks for for doing what you do Andrew, and congrats on the 1000th video. When I was still early in my career and living back in the midwest, I still remember binge watching Mixergy like it was a Netflix original. It was insanely valuable.

Any recommendations on dropbox alternatives? I've been a happy customer for years but won't stay with a company that appoints a war criminal and spying apologist to their board.

A brand new kia or scion is gonna be faster out the gate and cheaper than a 4 year old cadillac. But the cadillac wins on looks, power, durability, safety, fuel, utility, terrain/environmental performance, can hold more people and thos

I'm from Nebraska originally, and I see a bigger market for self-driving cars in flyover country than in an area like SF Bay. Lots of long, straight drives with far less vehicles on the road probably even make it more realistic to acco

I have a feeling being able to determine immediate near term road conditions is a 1.0 feature for self-driving vehicles? Waze-style technology + GIS + networking with other vehicles + weather data (if you look, there is already tons of sma

BS - I've watched both videos twice and more sophisticated targeting solves 90% of their "problems." How much facebook advertising have you managed? I hope it's a lot if you're going to call out "fundamental fl
