@bchesky Filter for a balcony / terrace / patio. Would have been ideal during covid (for some fresh air), but is still useful nowadays too.

@anothercohen Basically "creating" new products, ideating on business models & customer discovery, incubating them (sometimes), and then turning them over to the LOBs.

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@anothercohen I'm in one. Yes, basically exactly that.

@Jessicalessin @WSJ Wow! Just moronic journalism right there!

@davidmarcus Capital One is best fit as a buyer. GS is an interesting wild card. PNC is big enough, wants to expand westward, & has a low-risk profile the FDIC will like. Those 3 buyers could step in without needing the Big 4 (JPM, BofA, Citi, or WF).

@jfschneidr 100%. Many companies "pretend" to enter the market in hopes of creating enough buzz to get bought-out before investing much money.

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@levie Even we are & I work at a huge, conservative bank. That says it all.

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@mobasiolu @JessTheVC PNC has a VC arm? That's news to me, considering that I work in "new venture creation" at PNC.

@therealtatianaf @sweatystartup I don't think funding is the barrier. Childcare is a MASSIVE industry & need. If you can model out the economics & run a small-scale pilot well, the funding would come.

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@therealtatianaf @sweatystartup The caretaker to child ratio laws in place in most locales is the biggest barrier to scale it. I looked into it & stopped exploring any further after the varying (& expensive) regulations made me sure it can't scale well.

@ppplleeee @UncleDiesel_ @unusual_whales No...it's blackstone (the pe shop). They are buying up large swaths of single family homes to turn it into a new asset class. Blackrock (an asset manager) would invest other people's money into pe shops (like blackstone) to get the returns for their retirement portfolios.

@nomadicmatt Best decision I ever made.

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@WillManidis @kirbywinfield Missing location / where to live as the 5th

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@KylieBourjaily Founder Institute programs are what you want at that stage

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@MaliaFunknyc @Mailtrackio is free or @GMassForGmail if running large email campaigns

[David Feldsott @DFeldsott]

@nikillinit You mean this?

Last year, I had a conversation that changed my life.

It caused me to upend everything and move across the country.

The lesson from it may change yours:

@shanley @agazdecki @andrewchen @launchhouse Yes, it is a rebrand.

@healthcareandy I think mental health greatly deteriorated during Covid & people (like me) started meditating. Once the lockdowns subsided & people started interacting irl again, the need for mental health / meditation returned to a more reasonable baseline. I've been using Headspace less lately
