Composer - Not Boring Investment Memo Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Not Boring Investment Memos are deep dives on early stage companies that are currently fundraising, and that the Not Boring Syndicate is investing in.

In this episode, we talk about Composer, which is aiming to close the wealth gap by giving investors access to more sophisticated tools for self-directed investing, with a clean, easy UI. Think of it like the best parts of Robinhood and Wealthfront, with a lot more muscle under the hood.

Entropy Theory Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

Entropy Theory explains industry evolution as a story of ever-increasing chaos and suggests that the most successful businesses are those that use the latest technology to wrangle that chaos, until entropic forces unleash the next set of opportunities.

In this episode, we explain Entropy Theory through examples in real estate, tech, and employment. Why did TikTok succeed where Quibi failed? Why did Spotify take off while Napster got sued into oblivion? Entropy Theory is an attempt to explain.

If I Ruled the Tweets Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Twitter is the most undermonetized product in the world, because it doesn’t know what it is. For someone so into meditation, @jack’s lack of self-awareness is a surprising error with major implications.

Twitter’s ads business struggles to support the entire company.
Twitter doesn’t know who its customers are, or what its Job To Be Done is for them.
Twitter captures almost none of the value that it creates.
Creators are left without features they would happily pay for.
Twitter Profiles are the most underdeveloped real estate on the internet.

We dive into:

What’s wrong with Twitter and why?
Who is Twitter’s customer and what is its Job to Be Done (JTBD)?
What would Twitter look like if I ruled the tweets?
