YouTube is the most important thing to happen to golf since Tiger Woods. Creator golf is a $1B industry it just don't know it yet... My thoughts on the category and why I'm so happy to be building here with @PeoplesLeagueX. https://t.co/ivzAaPkZka

@BunchuBets lol

Makes too much sense

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

[Jared Augustine @jaredaugustine]

@JIR_KR @AskBillyBets No sir

[Jared Augustine @jaredaugustine]

Keen to share that @AskBillyBets is now operating as a sports prediction market maker.

In the last 90 days, Billy has doubled its wallet, averaging 2.77% weekly returns.

We have a new ATH volume every week as we learn and grow.

Billy is set for takeoff. 👇

Historically it has been challenging to raise venture for events businesses. “Not scalable”. Love this new shine.

[Jonas @jonaasw1]

The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market.

And companies are racing to own it.

In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets.

@Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes.

@222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events.

@JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents.

@timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities.

Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal.

Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU.

@weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation.

Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact)

New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people.

Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads:
- @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k)
- @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k)
- @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k)
- @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k)
- @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead

Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes.

The question isn't whether IRL wins.

It's who facilitates it best.

Say what you want about LIV Golf. It’s easy to root for Scott O’Neil.

[Fore Play @ForePlayPod]

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil spoke at length about the future of the league, and sounded optimistic it can continue on without PIF funding, but says structural changes are coming.

Are you buying it?

[Jared Augustine @jaredaugustine]

Too cute @jacksettleman
