Vaccine? ✅Great respect for Pfizer and other companies for having rapidly developed solutions to (hopefully) the worst problem of the decade👍Medical advances will always be challenged by those who cling to the past: when Louis Pasteur was forerunning the idea that germs caused diseases in the 19th century, many ridiculed his efforts. MedTech has the unprecedented ability to improve our lives; we should embrace it. After all, scientific struggles took us to the moon and will soon take us to Mars! 🚀 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #science #covid #covid19 #vaccinationdone #vaccinated #moderna #covidvacccine #covidvaccine #fightagainstcoronavirus #quarantine #health #staysafe #astrazeneca #ᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴇssᴀᴠᴇʟɪᴠᴇs #vaccination #latestnews #vaksinasi #pandemic #pfizer #stayhome #corona #news #healthylifestyle #newspaper #worldhealthday #medicine #lockdown #india #coronaviruspandemic #coronavirus

Incredible creativity on display at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Spending this week at Stanford d.school. A remarkable opportunity to learn, collaborate and innovate.

Harvard Business Review is one of my favorite business magazines for its in-depth, research-based articles. This issue has an interesting piece about the growing non-linearity of the modern world. Our brains tend to think in linear terms and find it difficult to apply non-linear models to everyday problems. For example, increasing retention from 20% to 40% yields a $35 increase, while increasing it from 60% to 80% yields a $147 increase. While managers who think linearly focus on increasing the size of their audience, it is often more profitable to focus on retaining their current customers. Small increases in retention can lead to large changes in profit. If you're interested, there's a test for nonlinear thinking in the second image of the post.

Excited for two days of cutting-edge discussions at the London AI Summit.

On the cover of The Economist: data is the world's most valuable resource. Drones generate 100 gigabits per second! In the future, everything we do will generate data. By 2025, there will be 180 zettabytes of data. In 2015, Caesars Entertainment filed for bankruptcy. Its most important asset, data on its 45 million customers, was valued at $1 billion. The article draws an interesting analogy between trading oil and data. The value of data is different for everyone, so there will be no simple, centralized market like there is for oil. Instead, there will be a lot of opacity and business opportunities. Welcome to the data economy!

Had a great conversation with Nassim Taleb about our new fintech app and portfolio company. Thank you for visiting and sharing your insights. I’m looking forward to reading your new book!
