@jaffer_amir @BostonCollege @nytdavidbrooks Thank you to everyone for the kind regards! I’ve learned and grown a lot throughout this four year journey. I’m also so grateful I could finish my senior year within the BC community despite the constraints of COVID 19. Now, ready to set the world aflame! @BostonCollege

@annieli01 @jlandryBC21 Great point. Large universities play such a big role in creating innovative ecosystems. Texas also seems like a refreshing change from "silicon valley" #BCSTT

@DavidHe0506 Antitrust just seems to be ubiquitous around the world. Didn't expect it to come from China, but it really shows Alibaba's influence in that market #BCSTT

@sofpedr So true. I've realized that Uber and Grubhub are banking on volume, but DoorDash has generated profitability through high fees, lucrative advertising, and control over more expansive markets. Definitely an interesting case in the delivery platform market #BCSTT

@CeceliaCheng12 Though drivers play a big role in transportation and mobility right now, this statement by Uber could garner controversy. The dynamics of vaccine distribution has already been politicized and the independent contractor classification makes it more difficult to assess #BCSTT

@NicPM2001 Really cool to hear that - often we forget that airplanes and travel heavily contribute to the CO2 emissions that often come up in energy conversations. I wonder what makes their tech infrastructure compatible with electric batteries given normal engines are so big #bcstt

I remember the speakers from Lerer Hippeau talked about food tech and exciting new investments in that space. There are clear issues with meat production in America and the approach of extracting cells and growing them in a lab could be promising #BCSTT

Global leaders read the Economist for a reason. It's world-centric, detailed, and relentless in its pursuit of the objective truth. There's a limited-time discount right now so subscribe with this link or DM for details!

@RyanBern3 @BOMBAS Couldn't agree more. It's as if the free pair really did its job as a promotion towards the gen Z market hahaha. Can tell they put some time and effort into designing a quality product #BCSTT

[Salman @SalmanJaffer9]

@LouiseK04 True, I wouldn't either. But the younger generation is adopting technology at a faster rate (for better or worse) so so they might as well be more financially literate too #BCSTT

Over 1 million mobile money users in Kenya in the past year shows fintech innovation has incredible global upside #BCSTT https://t.co/6F4Wc4PBRj

@tor_newell @RobinhoodSnacks Citi's work in VC reminds me of one of the previous zooms about Goldman Sachs - another example of a large bank merging with the fintech world #BCSTT

[Salman @SalmanJaffer9]

This policy is an example of productive regulation on corporate tech. How will companies respond if their boards aren’t diverse? #BCSTT https://t.co/prrpmbQI12

@CKoutsoubis This is a cool concept I've heard about w/ American restaurants and it allows businesses to control take-out and delivery volume, preventing overwhelmed kitchens. Still, in India I wonder how these trends harm the millions of street food vendors who may be struggling #BCSTT

[Salman @SalmanJaffer9]

@christielau_ I remember reading about this idea in the context of Nordic countries and work policies there. Maximizing productivity in fewer hours beats long hours w/ mental exhaustion. My sis is at Unilever and the company really prioritizes balance like Salesforce #BCSTT

[Salman @SalmanJaffer9]

@CollinAIngram Though it seems a bit unnecessary, Europe is setting a precedent for big tech that it can't get away with certain practices that go unnoticed in the U.S. Consistent with its large-scale efforts to regulate anti-competitive behavior #BCSTT

[Salman @SalmanJaffer9]

@SerenaAng_BCSTT The concept of "social commerce" could be fb's competitive advantage over other e-commerce platforms (Amazon). Curious to see what this leads to for fb, insta, and whatsapp #BCSTT

[Salman @SalmanJaffer9]

@sofpedr Didn't expect it but def a strategic move by Salesforce to get into more open-access business platforms. Wonder if Slack execs think the acquisition will give the product more upside or if it's just for salesforce to extract more value #BCSTT
