And the legal battles continue for Facebook. Depending on the result, Facebook could be required to divest from both Instagram and Whatsapp. #BCSTT #G

#BCSTT Successful start for DoorDash

[Michael Batnick @michaelbatnick]

At $190, DoorDash will be bigger than the combined market caps of Chipotle, Domino's, Shake Shack, and Papa John's.

@katiektfox This makes me freak out a little bit whenever I read headlines like these. But then I have to remind myself that these headlines are about accusations rather than reporting evidence that it’s actually happening. #BCSTT

Pretty cool to see Bombas in today’s Morning Brew. Did those free pairs of socks that we were talking about ever come in? 🤔 #bcstt

@ImbrianoTony I read about Eaze the other day which is pretty much the Uber of marijuana. It was started by a few friends back in 2014 and now has an enterprise value of $388mill+. Definitely a market with lots of opportunity. #BCSTT #G

@JoeHathaway_ It was shocking to hear that ~75% of existing boards don’t meet the proposed diversity requirement. #bcstt

And yet another streaming service launched, this time by Discovery. I've got to think there will be some technology coming that enables us to manage all these subscriptions as, if we keep going at this rate, we'll be juggling tens of subscriptions. #bcstt

Also - two thirds of of Citi’s portfolio companies have a commercial relationship with Citibank (e.g. docusign). Shows the importance of using and understanding your investments to predict growth potential. #bcstt

[Victoria Newell @tor_newell]

Read in @RobinhoodSnacks newsletter this morning about Citi’s VC arm and some of the investments they’ve made (it’s a pretty impressive list!) I thought it was interesting to see the crossover between big banks and VC. #bcstt

HUGE deal ($44B) between S&P and IHS Markit shows the value of big data. It'll be interesting to see how the Biden administration will respond as antitrust will surely be an issue here. #BCSTT

@CollinAIngram I'm guessing that we're going to see attempts to protect against AI more and more in the news and in government discussions. AI is getting more and more advanced and we need to keep up. #BCSTT

[Victoria Newell @tor_newell]

@JoeHathaway_ This is a big move for FB as they try and move towards targeting businesses rather than individuals. I read that FB estimates that their next billion users will be businesses. It'll be interesting seeing how this plays out. #BCSTT

@kelechieleje @TomCiatto @TechCrunch You were ahead of the curve with your meme choice, Kel! Maybe you should consider a career as a Morning Brew writer #bcstt

[Victoria Newell @tor_newell]

Why am I not surprised to see Snapchat launching a TikTok-like feature in the app? It looks like this style of video is becoming the new 'stories' that we see appearing on almost all forms of social media. https://t.co/TFSs7DZKyf via @techcrunch #BCSTT

I read today that 38% of people working for Facebook are content moderators. While I initially thought this number was high, events in the past months (from fake vaccination theories to false election claims to groups/individuals spreading hate), I see the necessity of it. #BCSTT

[Victoria Newell @tor_newell]

This has got to be one of the most beneficial uses of AI in terms of possibly saving thousands of lives. The issue of bias will still have to be tackled before we see the full effects though.

@katiektfox It’s crazy to see an entire state (1/7 of Australia) completely lock down after only 23 cases emerge while BC has had more cases than that in the last few days. While I see tightening restrictions coming, I don’t see the US going to this extent. #bcstt

[Victoria Newell @tor_newell]

@CollinAIngram I did a presentation on this issue this week for another class and, I must say, I really feel for Peloton. They’ve already made big moves to try to keep up with demand but it simply won’t catch up any time soon. Can’t blame them-who saw a COVID crisis coming? #bcstt

[Victoria Newell @tor_newell]

Not sure how I feel about foldable phones... Personally, I can't see this catching on and becoming the new norm. Any takers?

@John_Slattery11 I personally haven’t used Hulu live and must admit I didn’t know it existed. I think there is a market for this as it can be frustrating and expensive having different subscriptions for everything (sports, politics, movies etc.) #bcstt
