@matt_vanswol @WyzeCam Who do you think owns the Vietnamese factories? Hint: the neighbor to their north

@Austen They should just release a new iSight with better optics & USB-C

@gregorykennedy @chamath Better detection would also mean an increase for men, but that's stayed flat/decreased over the last 15 years

@hovinthenorth @theisaacmed Manufacturing in-house is the exact opposite of operational simplicity. It's a hell of a lot easier to send a PO and receive products without knowing everything about the equipment, raw materials, and managing a team of manufacturers.

100,000 orders for APC 🥳
8+ years in and it feels like we’re just getting started. Batches might be bigger, but it’s incredible to see how little the leash has changed over the years.

@JeremiahPrummer @seanfrank Every founder needs conviction to do things differently. For bootstrapped founders leaving “good jobs”, how’s it different from the countless people telling you it won’t work? Founders are constantly given bad advice, why blame the advice instead of the founder?

@MattMickiewicz @seanfrank Those investors are the minority to say the least. Let’s see some examples?

[Sam Alter @samalter]

@JeremiahPrummer @seanfrank Ya I dunno, raising money during wild market conditions and spending 3 years burning through other people’s money without building a profitable business sounds like they focused on vanity metrics instead of building an actual business.

I drive a Y now but seeing it’s only 30mpg to break even, I miss my 2013 Passat TDI. I remember doing DEN>ATX (900 miles) @ 85mph and only stopped for diesel once. Compared to 7 charging stops for +3.5hr (minimum) in the Y, it’s hard to justify a 25% longer drive that’s more expensive

@Lioranpi @FinaloopTeam @lightspeedvp Well deserved! 🙌 appreciate you continuing to build solutions around real pain points for DTC founders

@dougboneparth Even in a world where car travel isn’t as romantic as it was, easy to appreciate a marketing idea that’s stood the test of time

@mgwindey @Casey @SamsoniteUSA Tumi was bought by samsonite and that’s when they became shit

@Casey @RIMOWA is the only option, don’t waste your time with dtc brands

@RomanEcom Something like 90% of Japanese woman own at least one item from LV, Asia loves luxury. I also don’t think Rimowa went after the US as hard because they had to compete more with Tumi.
