the LA consumer startup ecosystem is coming into its own -- Honey, Snap, Riot Games, Tinder, Bird, Dollar Shave Club. The most $1B+ consumer startups outside of the Bay Area? A few years back, I might have guessed that NYC would be the emerging leader. But pretty clear it's LA.

Thread: We all know managed marketplaces (where the platform provides additional value-add in terms of intermediating the service delivery) can create a step-function improvement in user experience, but despite that, they can actually struggle to scale as businesses.

Arya killing the Night King is like Jordan’s “Last Shot” in Game 6. I often forget neither were the actual “end”, subconsciously ignoring Eps 4-6 and the Washington Wizards.

Alt forms of rich: You can go to bed and wake up when you want to. You can buy any book you want. You have time to read those books. You have time to exercise. A short commute. No dress code seven days a week. Liberal use of the thermostat.

1/ One incredibly common problem founders have is they reach a point where they feel burned out and that their job isn’t fun any more. The ironic thing is this comes in two flavors: “I’m bad at my job and I hate it” “I’m good at my job and I hate it”

The @harrys exit underscores this point on scaling digitally native brands via offline retail. 80% of the company's sales are now made offline. xitter.cf/nik_quinn/status/11264…

23/ I just like it a lot more as part of an omnichannel strategy and less as a standalone channel. DTC is an exceptionally hard channel to scale but fantastic for iteration. I’ve said that before right? xitter.cf/ryan_caldbeck/status/1…

We don't want to invest in the brands, but we want to find the brands that are about to receive $$$ that will need to quickly scale their field marketing and sampling efforts. Similar to D2C brands that need to spend on Facebook to drive subscriptions.
