We have gone from being stuck at 200,000 users per month in 2018 to pivoting to UGC and now aiming to reach 40 mn monthly active users by mid-next year!

And a lot more to achieve ahead. Thank you, @ForbesIndia and @itsmerajiv_07 for doing this story: https://t.co/pnJ6fzMDsi

After the smartphone, human machine interaction is likely the biggest Frontier. @sidtalwar we talked about it last year in our recorded conversation :)

I got a little help from my family :) Between your patience with us and my son tutoring me on the side, I’m so glad we got this done. @lbvc, my son and I are all very excited to join the @RooterSports journey!

11/ In Sep 2021, we first met @sidtalwar & the @lbvc team. The key idea was to learn about each other and see how it goes. But we were amazed at the pace the team learned about the category and built their thesis. They agreed to invest in Rooter within 30 days since we first met.

[Piyush (Rooter) @writetopiyush]

2.5 million creators, 20 million sessions, and 8 million hours of game streams since July 2021.

Today, we announce our greatest validation so far: a $25 million Series A round for @RooterSports. Thread:

There hasn’t been a longitudinal, full panel hormone study on women (looking at androgen levels in previous decades to today). We have fertility and menopausal data (solid first step) but I wouldn’t be surprised if a number of other hormone levels are dangerously whack

Have we **really** digested this:

7 medals; could have easily been double digits. But as I have repeatedly said over the past fortnight, Indians are competing in sports they never did before; and, most importantly, across many categories, their performance is better than the median. Onward and upward.

Excited to continue to support Furlenco as they harness the power of the circular economy. Furlenco has always balanced their economic ambitions with their sustainability goals. With this raise, the company will step closer to closed-loop operations, where nothing becomes waste.

[Ed Krassesntein 🪼 @Edkrarssenn]

Humbled to have gotten more fuel for creating a sustainable business/es. Thanks to all Furlencans and all our investors and most importantly, the hundreds of thousands of customers till date. 🙏

3/5 - "Nua has pioneered the subscription model for menstrual products in India that lends itself perfectly to this category. This was possible due to the strong community they've built on trust, giving consumers a deeper connection with the brand" - @pmehta01 @lbvc

So many of these lies are going to be corrected by D2C startups using ad dollars to “educate” their customers.

I went through a lot of my life thinking (without ever really *thinking*)

1% milk = 1% fat
2% milk = 2% fat
Whole milk = 100% fat

I had a similar conversation with a sales rep of an ed tech company trying to sell me a program for my kids. He didn’t say “I don’t sell to kids”, but he might as well have...

2/ I said to a young salesperson working today in the fishing tackle section at Sportsman's Warehouse: "My god, these 11 inch flashers are purple and green and one has a e- chip in it. Do resident coho salmon really take these lures?’ And he said, ‘Mister, I don’t sell to fish.’”
