Loved this quick fire interview with the @usepassionfruit team along the #CannesLions Croisette this year. Tackling the big industry questions like ‘coffee or crioissant?’ And ‘is programmatic media dying?’ all in one minute. (Which is just as quickly as they find great talent)

Honestly what was that rap all about… have a day off mate #FuryUsyk

[Jeff Weinstein 🇺🇸 @Jeffreyw5000]

YC startups that would have raised at $8M cap in 2017-2020 are today raising at $20M cap.

In part this is due to the larger YC investment and MFN, but it also feels like these companies are being given bad advice and remain in denial that we’re not in 2021 anymore.

This is fine if you execute absolutely flawlessly, find PMF, and raise enough to give you years of runway, but more often than not it puts startups in a tricky spot in 12 months, when they are valued on multiple instead of story.

Given these founders are raising at uninvestable prices around demo day, more and more often we are passing due to price and revisiting in 12 months!

Excellent Sunday Times column by Hadley Freeman on the price she and other women have paid for having perfectly reasonable, sensible opinions on gender issues.

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Being with your kickass team deep in the (physical / aka not remote) engine room, and figuring out really hard technical problems that no one else has resolved before, remains one of the best feelings in the world. In that respect, this week was another solid week @Lightspark!

[Henry Hayes @hayes_henry]

Great article by @dorothychou surrounding AI regulation.

Serious marketing stunt, once again
@Mattel owning their activations… proofs in the pudding by 2x grossing Oppenheimer’s weekend sales.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Barbie’s opening weekend was $337M. That’s nearly 2x Oppenheimer’s $174M.

Warner Brother's insane ”Operation Barbie Summer” is a big part of that success.

These are 50 of the team's most amazing marketing stunts:
