@mattturck My favourite answer to the moats question :

We are not in 1200s any more. We don’t need moats. We have guns, tanks, jets and missiles. We keep firing better than our competition.

@lolitataub Still writing cheques. Driven founders overcoming odds !

Great companies exist somewhere between being a kingdom and a totally decentralised democracy. They just find the right balance between the extremes.

@vonsassyx Love the article. I know the former CPO at Homelane and CCO at Livspace if you ever wanted to talk :)

[Shubham @bhamism]

@vonsassyx Yup, that’s why we made https://t.co/Csh6fZdoNr :)

@DrRadchenko Revolutions need good communications among the masses. Newspapers/Newsletters were enablers at one point. Increased electronic comms have helped organise people recently too. Will it help in Russia in these conditions to diverge the odds a little bit more from history ?

Most of my ancestors likely came from the Africa. Likely yours too. Stop fighting over imaginary lines.

@PeterDiamandis 50% of the adult world goes to work every weekday, majority of them are unhappy. And that cascades to the other half. Maybe will try to make everyday people a little happier. Oh, and world hunger ! :)

@JuliaLipton That it’s totally crazy that 7 billion people agree that 7-days-in-a-week is somehow divinely ordained :)

@stephsmithio Only 3 companies that make all the worlds hard drives. When you think about it - cloud, like a collection of raindrops, is basically a collection of hard drives.

Only 3 guys make it:
@Seagate
@westerndigital
@ToshibaStorage

@parrysingh Totally. A lot of hate seems to have roots in “clanism : The one like me is better than the other one”. Religion, Race, Country, City, Language, Region etc. Meet enough good people outside your own venn diagram intersections - and hate starts to slow down. Oooh, that startup :)

@justingordon212 Nice Initiative Justin. We are focussed on early stage #futureofwork, #healthtech and D2C investments primarily in Asia and Africa.

No stage is too early; often a passion and little traction are brilliant early signs for us to take a punt.

[Shubham @bhamism]

@mikekarnj Looking at it another way. Most companies can have 200% output with the same people.

Companies like @Gloat_com @fuel50 Virkware, Catalant are helping convert slack into productivity, increasing ROHC (return on human capital), while solving for employee happiness !

@MichaelJordaan @paulg Not a clone but @AntlerGlobal in Nairobi is doing good stuff.

@sarahjpegs @sobedominik @sotak @ankitkr0 @kunksed @mkobach @aaraalto @jackbutcher @NitiSarran @JamesonCamp Looks fun - my DP works ?

[Shubham @bhamism]

@steijnpelle @rahulvarshneya might want to connect !

[Shubham @bhamism]

@sameer_singh17 Yup. I think there is a huge gap between Heirarchial setups of most organisations and full DAOs. Somewhere in the middle is probably a short term answer to efficiently running most organisational systems !

@MagnusGrimeland @AntlerGlobal Love the Vietnam office !
