At @dealroomco we are starting our own version of Community Notes to annotate stuff. The devil is in the detail, and very often it's actually interesting to lean into those. For example, Informa was formed in 1998, but you wouldn't put it in the same generation as Amazon and…

Richard Feynman asked 'why' magnets repel and goes on to explain that answering 'why' requires a framework of accepted truths. This is exactly why I had difficulty with 'why' questions at school. Why did Hitler invade Poland? Ehm... because of childhood trauma?

There's so much data inside @dealroomco that you sometimes need to be a power user to unlock it. To solve that, the team has been quietly rolling out Guides to explore the data in a more curated fashion and find what you need by just browsing. Expect us to keep adding more of…

Since 2020, the trading *volume* of the Nasdaq Composite (green and red bars) has doubled and has stayed there. Mildly interesting @mr_james_c

Italy, is that accurate: less than $5K a year income for the bottom pentile?

Related: the share of global VC that goes into European startups is at an all-time high this year, with 20.6% when excluding rounds over $250M (and notably excluding OpenAI and Stripe rounds)
