From @illscience

Leading strategy or corp dev at a hyper-scale company is one of the toughest roles out there; sounds sexy but very few companies have high powered corp dev teams (FB and GOOG both did this very well) and in most cases you're just doing decks to justify existing founder plans.

Fintech + creators: The weak form of this is a marketing partnership, the strong form of this is fintech products that have purpose built utility for *future creators*, just as Apple differentiated from PCs by building apps for *future creatives*. 👇🏽 https://t.co/8gXCu6LZ2R

Love this product - it's a way more human and low-key way to connect with a group of friends! https://t.co/A5NYD2R80Y
