I deeply value the role of journalism and the press in modern society. @Rachel_R_Romer makes a fair point about fair treatment by the media.

1/ Reading all the coverage on SBF and FTX has my journalistic misogyny radar firing on all cylinders...
especially for my female founder friends who've been ripped to shreds for what I might consider infractions by the same reporters who've covered SBF.

What is it with conference ticket prices? Why have in person conference tickets gotten so expensive post pandemic???

[Divya Raghavan @div263]

@gsands Or you are more than welcome to babysit ours!

[Divya Raghavan @div263]

Thanks for this excellent write-up @TaliaGold. We at @ngpcapital follow a similar approach. This is also a great tool to track company performance post-investment!

[Talia Goldberg @TaliaGold]

An early stage founder asked me how I came up with the valuation for their startup?

It is a common question, so I wrote my answer here. There are many ways to value early stage companies, but my favorite is the scenario analysis.

@barrald Opensource at the application layer is probably not a good idea. The more you let customizations, the more painful the upgrade process. IMO opensource is best suited for infra and middleware

[Divya Raghavan @div263]

@saranormous Thanks for sharing this story. Growing up in an entrepreneurial household myself, this really struck a chord.

I can't agree more. Spot on in terms of the market perception of the three cloud players.

A friend asked me recently what I think the big things are that make GCP, Azure, and AWS different from each other.

I think the biggest thing is how they view customers.
