Anand Sanwal: The Vision Man Of CB Insights

I have been a long time subscriber to Anand's newsletter, easily over a decade. I feel like his particular expertise is a vastly under-monetized resource. He data crunches his way to amazing insights into many tech sectors today and his projections into the future are also insightful.

(1) What does your API offer? (2) How many do you have? (3) How much office space? How many workstations? (4) I have been a long-time subscriber to your newsletter. Easily over a decade. Super impressed. But have long felt your expertise is vastly under-monetized.

@agazdecki I'd like to interview and profile some of your Founder CEOs for my tech blog. Can you please make some introductions? Over Twitter is fine. Thank you much. And don't believe everything ChatGPT tells you. (Reference: AirBnB #joke)

It took over a decade, but her concept eventually made it to the market in 1977, and today pregnancy testing is a $1.5B market.

Unfortunately, before it launched, Margaret had signed away her rights for just *one dollar* 😦

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better. pic.twitter.com/ppbcugJNhW

Everyone needs to calm down about war with China, Gen. Mark Milley said. The Joint Chiefs chairman warned against the rise of “overheated” rhetoric of a looming U.S. war with China, and he said he doubts China’s chances of “conquering” Taiwan. https://t.co/Q0Iqw3LA1o

Two Martians Walk Into A Bar

Two Martians walk into a bar, and Elon Musk turns to the other Martian and says, "I heard Earth is flat." The other Martian looks at him incredulously and says, "Elon, you're an alien! You've seen the curvature of the universe with your own eyes!" Elon just shrugs and says, "Eh, I guess I just haven't been paying attention." The bartender overhears this exchange and chimes in, "Well, I guess this bar is the only place flat-earthers are welcome."

According to some surveys the expectation that they should be thin is learned by girls as young as six. The tragedy is that there is no escape

The average American’s take-home pay per month is $4,300.

Childcare costs on average are $1,300 per month.

The numbers don’t add up. We need to cap quality child care to $10 a day.

This is a great ruling – it will spur innovation, help grow our economy, and give workers on H1-B visas and their families the stability they need to succeed. And personally something I’ve been proud to advocate for!https://t.co/Fx1Mro4h8B

It's insane how big this "AI asteroid" is..

Right in front of our eyes - these last few weeks & months, and for the rest of the year (if not the decade) we are living through a "Cambrian Explosion" of creativity and possibility.
