@shreyas Slightly different answer (at least for big corporations): misaligned incentives.
People are rewarded with promo/perf for being the "hero", which doesn't always align with user needs. This is true even at the best companies with the best intentions once you pass ~1k FTEs.
@GavinNewsom California needs a rent freeze or a rent relief fund! Families who rent should not lose their homes either because of COVID. I work at a housing startup and we're getting messages everyday from renters who have lost their jobs - this is not sustainable.
@saarsaar Yep. As long as you're smart about managing economics (e.g. CAC at $0, good predictive modeling), the non-sass/low gm businesses can be really lucrative (very high IRRs/very low breakeven points). Though market has been getting smarter in last 6 months in our space (proptech)

People were asked to name women tech leaders. They said “Alexa”, “Siri” :(. Of the 8.3% who said they could, only 4% actually could. If u care about equality & gender issues - please learn the names of women in tech.

Excited to be a part of the founders for change movement, and thrilled to be lucky enough to have such diverse partners on our board. #FoundersForChange#hubhaus
Hubhaus (led by the wonderful @shrutimerch) just announced their Series A and some monster metrics. Looking for their head of Marketing+Growth here! https://t.co/9N7Q3CT7et
The media fixates too much on “co-living” or “co-housing” being a Millennial phenomenon when it reality, it’s demographically broader than that: https://t.co/LlvRdaonxV
@meliarobin San Francisco also labels 42% of their millenial renters as "rent distressed". Renters are spending too much money to pay for housing, something clearly needs to change.
