Keep hustling 🤡

When Ronald McDonald lost his circus job in 1929, all the top VC’s (Sequoia, Benchmark, WeWork Ventures, Chamath) passed on his new “fast food” restaurant

By 2020, his company was worth $169 billion and Ronald was the 6th richest person in the world

Never give up on your dreams

@aripap Ad tech / pe guy was the mash up I did not know I needed

[brett hughes @hughesbp]

@deedydas same realization. An agent as more tenacity to accomplish frustrating or mind numbing work consumers tolerate. I watched it go back and forth w/ att rep for 60 minutes to achieve $15 / month in savings.

short opportunity on companies with the most egregious dark patterns.

@Austen My company team is about to do this for our company w/ 350 EEs. What were your lessons learned?

[brett hughes @hughesbp]

Such a terrible dynamic.
Some club teams charge $5k - $7k per player with a magical promise of a path to a scholarship.

The sad reality is that much of sports is hitting a genetic lottery just to have a chance to play at a high level. You need the gifts and need to do the work. Club teams have a marginal incremental benefit to the players and families.

Sports and competing are a means to teach you about life and what it takes to win on a team. Few players are lucky to make at a career and that’s ok. It should not be a solely a means to get a low ROI education

@OnlyCFO Hope is not a strategy!

@dklineii This is great and so many good lessons in here you can reuse all the time. Say it w/ me:

Make requirements less dumb; delete parts or process; simplify/optimize; increase cycle time; automate

@OnlyCFO I'm curious -- have scaled organizations replaced SFDC and been able to support a home grown tool without disruption and lower TCO than SFDC? I'd love to replace SFDC but doesn't seem to be the highest & best use of our development

@lucawashenko You can reach out to the fbi ic3 program to freeze the account of the destination account if it’s fraud . Move fast - need to file within 72 hours

@TheIcahnist Gotta be a breach of the nda lol

@aaditsh AI

Think vista fully exiting their position is a big driver of this. They got into IAS at like $800M in 2018 and sold down a little while public .

Company will get some runway to reinvent products as the market place changes (ie web changing, streaming expanding, cloudflare role in bots, etc)

Could see them acquiring some measurment challengers

@JohnathanBarnes Such an interesting reversal from 10 years ago — hard for a DSP to compete without unique data or inventory

@altcap How do I schedule?

@buccocapital @benthompson This is terrifying for rank and file employees.

Is there not going to be a shareholder or employee suit?

@asanwal 100% — predatory is perfect world.
