@mpstaton @gsiemens @amdulin @BBurnsEDU @kreshleman Biggest problem with startups is often not solving a concrete problem to begin with.
@mpstaton @kreshleman @amdulin @gsiemens @BBurnsEDU @HigherEdSurge Surely an argument could be made that better learning affects endowments?

@gsiemens @amdulin @BBurnsEDU @pmfreedm @mpstaton @kreshleman I'd argue that the flow of those dollars is a problem. 18mo sales cycle.
@timmmmyboy This was a first - @erinjo's initiative. It seems really good so far!
@JacobTref Just loaded Twitter to see your face staring at me and literally jumped

Building a business is as exciting to me as building a platform. Luckily, the same thing. Software always serves the business.
I have zero interest in being a data hippie (or a data punk). I've always been in this to make a profit, albeit ethically.
@FullFrontalSamB And exactly one from the jokes about him fucking us all
@BenedictEvans Interesting - we're thinking about TinyLetter for botcasts, and thinking how to bake better network effects into the mix.
@herdingbats Yeah. I'd go so far as to say racist conservatives are the biggest threat to American democracy at this (or any) point.
@kylewmahan Agree they changed to be less likable. Not sure. I interpreted it as their fear of vulnerability rather than a writing shift?
@sarahdessen @love @gillianjacobs It's seriously great. I wish there were 10 more episodes. Or 100.
