I’m still blown away that there are two multi billion dollar public companies just because American’s don’t know how to cook vegetables. There are 400M vegetarian Indians, none feels the need to stuff up soy with questionable ingredients to make it look like meat.
Yet another reason to turn off your zoom video.

"I saw your name on 'Trace Cohen' investor list and I thought you might be interested in what are doing at..."
Founders don't be lazy and ruin this for everyone by spamming my list... I will call you out. Mass emails to investors are obvious and dont work.
Sequoia invested $100 million in Zoom at a $1 billion valuation 3.5 years ago.
Zoom is now worth more than $90 billion.
That’s a 90x return in less than four years on a $100 million check (assuming they hold the whole position and no dilution, etc.)
I was reminded today of Andrew Mason's resignation letter from Groupon in 2013. So good.
"After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon, I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding - I was fired today.."
