@Alex_Danco thanks for writing this: https://t.co/msKmhtBWGh

There is an old Yiddish proverb that says, "Nothing tastes more bitter than the truth." Needless to say, I 'puckered' quite a few times reading this truth bomb. Time to make some lemonade Canada.

I wonder if virtual voice assistants will ruin the game 'charades' for future generations when so many tasks can be accomplished simply via voice command 🤔 #ripcharades

@jason curious if you have chosen a new host city for #LaunchFestival 2020/21?

[Leighton Healey @leightonhealey]

Hey! I know those #amplifiers 🤘
@JimAGibson @jameslochrie #greghart

Are you an #amplifier
Am I?

[Leighton Healey @leightonhealey]

This should be interesting! 🤔#yyc @JimAGibson @thinair_labs

When I joined Google, we had just raised money at a $100M valuation. So proud to see it hit the storied $1T market cap today! #10000x

Wrapped up a great week in #LosAngeles & #SanFrancisco sharing the amazing traction we r achieving @tryknowhow w/ clients & investors. Once again, returning home w/ new wisdom, feedback, contacts. The Valley is like a metronome set at 200bpm, great to re-sync. #upandtotheright ⚡️

[Leighton Healey @leightonhealey]

@LAUNCH Accelerator is doing the right things right! I had the privilege of being invited to sit in on a *weekly* cohort pitch event. Nine VCs representing nearly a BILLION in investable capital provided candid feedback to 7 world-class pitches. So much learning 🤯 #dothework

[Leighton Healey @leightonhealey]

Thinking about what type of Founder Archetype I fit. Humble Operator? Agile Visionary? Seasoned Executive? What version of Story Teller do I fall into? How is my Founder-Market-Fit? Great questions for personal reflection. Thank's for the wisdom @_changxu from @BasisSet. @launch

Let’s see...One part rocket fuel, a dash of lithium, two parts polycrystalline silicon, and some sandalwood (cause you gotta have that sandalwood). I propose we extend the name to “Elon molecule” @MRamsey92 thoughts?

@listenlearn_act there is an amazing Alberta modular construction company that is well positioned to tackle this if the funding was in place. They build ‘LEGO-style’ building that can be repurposed as needs evolve. San Jose is doing some interesting things as well.

News: Zuckerberg expresses his intention for @Facebook to directly compete with @Shopify and other eCommerce SaaS companies.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

This appears to be Casper's business:

Buy mattress at $400.
Sell at $1,000.
Refund/return 20% of them.
--> Keep $400, on avg.

... then spend $290 of that on ads/marketing.
... and $270 on admin (finance, HR, IT).
--> Lose $160.

Repeat.

To pick up a set of #AirPodsPro the only place I could buy them was literally at the Cupertino headquarters store. Is this indicative of poor production planning or a remarkably successful product launch. After testing them out, definitely the latter. Bravo @Apple

Has your business hit a capacity tipping point? A level of busyness so great the ‘knowledge-holders’ in your organization can’t be everywhere they need to be, and things start dropping. 5-minutes of advice: https://t.co/1HnfjPHjv1 #scaleup #growth #business #startup

[KnowHow @tryknowhow]

We believe that every company should have their own internal Google: a central source of truth for all their processes, procedures, and internal know-how.

[The Accelerator @TheAccelerator_]

We ❤️ our team at The Accelerator. Fun fact about us, we all have either founded or worked for startups in Calgary!

Sadly our fab Director of New Ventures, Sam, was gallivanting in Costa Rica when this was taken and is missing from the shot! #theaccelerator #pitchplease #yyc
