Door Dash rises 80% at IPO to be "worth" $62bn really is a sign of mass insanity. I'll get a bit of Airbnb stock tonight with the Directed Share Program, when it IPO's tomorrow , will shoot up ( not as much, perhaps 30% ) And then I'll sell all my vapid tech* stocks because this spell is utter utter madness. This froth makes the dotcom peak of March 2000 look hyper-rational. These valuations are a sign that nobody knows where to place all the free money in the world printed by the Trillions. Money is flowing around everywhere looking for a place to go. It's crazy. It's based on plausibility and confidence, not fundamentals. They've unbundled from reality to just be a mixture of mass delusion and chancers who hope to gamble on selling before reality hits, myself included. …see more

An environment fostering innovation & investments requires an evolved & rationalised tax system. #Budget2019 has been rewarding for the startup ecosystem with their move to ease Angel Tax and elimination of scrutiny of the IT dept on the valuation of startups. #BudgetForNewIndia

If you're an entrepreneur — this is what we signed up for. Pain. Risk. Struggle. Uncertainty. Responsibility. Straight up: this year has sucked for a lot of us. But it doesn't matter if it was a good year or a bad year. It was just a year. Now we have to move forward and figure it out. That is what it means to be an entrepreneur. Not posting videos on LinkedIn or Instagram. Not bringing a bunch of unpaid interns to make it look like you have a big team. Not giving a bunch of advice on something you haven’t done anything yet. It’s a vow to “figure it out.” So take a deep breath & know that you got this. #justQ 🖖🏽 🖤 …see more

Startups are exciting. Everyone knows an organizational culture is at the core of every company's identity. Whether it is Amazon or WeWork, they exude and carry forth certain defining identity that unifies all employees to the mission of the company. As people from diverse backgrounds, different company cultures, and varied experience levels join the startup, aligning to one vision becomes crucial but it is not easy to achieve. Most startup founders don't prioritize the need for a senior HR partner, but I think this is one of the most important roles to hire. Founders need to make time and room in their company budgets to invest in this. #CompanyCulture …see more

You decide to plagiarize one of the most successful books ever. You take a book that won the National Book Award and you retype it from scratch and pretend it’s yours. You submit it to 20 publishers. You put a fake name on it. 100% of the publishers send back rejection letters. They hated it! Two things strike you: A) ZERO of the publishers realized they rejected a National Book Award winner. B) ALL of them thought the book was horrible. A book that had won the highest award. This happened. . . . . #writing #lifestyle #permission #experiment …see more

I was disturbed to see a citizen journalist get 4 years in prison in China for reporting on the Wuhan COVID outbreak. China's system isn't to be emulated. The lack of political liberties is repressive. And only getting worse. #QuickTake | GZERO Media #china #freedomofspeech #media #pressfreedom https://lnkd.in/dirdhc8 …see more

This is a slide from Uber's first pitch deck from 2008. What is your first reaction when you see it? There are barely any design elements. Just a lot of text and a few images added in between. But the text does a great job of conveying the market potential and innovative solution effectively. Out of the 25 slides, slide 3 is what caught my eye the most. Addresses the pain point of drivers and also highlights the behavior change, 'digital hail' that is a game-changing improvement. You don't need a polished deck to raise #VentureCapital , you need clear insights and conviction. Find the link to the full pitch deck in the comment section. #Innovation #Startups …see more

The future of #healthcare will involve an integration of #robotics and #telemedicine called tele-nursing. IEEE describes tele-nursing as a human nurse remotely controlling a robot to perform most of the tasks involved in patient care. #COVID19 has greatly accelerated the use of robotics in healthcare, with hospitals around the world and in India like Fortis & AIIMs actively testing & deploying robots for different use cases. Medical robots are estimated to be a $17B industry by 2023. …see more

When's the last time you had a Grandma Moment?! I'm talking about reflecting on your LEGACY! Lately, I've had quite a few check-ins with old friends, and it has been absolutely remarkable having the chance to celebrate the successes of my peers! For example, I wouldn't be where I am today without the nudge forward with LinkedIn video without Michaela Alexis ... Or the warm welcome from Goldie Chan who encouraged me to create! And Jaime Cohen and I have pushed through a LOT together in building our own businesses as she speaks all over the world! And recalling the many conversations with creators like Judi Fox , Carolyn (Carrie) Bohlig 🎤 and JARED J.Wiese who are all consistently reaching new levels of awesomeness! So tell me, what's the last thing you did to GIVE to your community? Time... advice... financial assistance? It'll all come back. Take a "Grandma Moment" and reflect on all those micro-moments that build your legacy! #Gratitude #Community #Encouragement #Success #Leadership #ChantelShares …see more

Three years ago today. 😲 I hated my job, felt like I wasn't working towards my goals because I wasn't focused on my company full-time, and I had nowhere near the self-belief that I do now. But I remember this time of my life... vividly. And I am so thankful for that. Because it keeps me humble and grateful for the life that I'm living now. And I have mad respect for those that are doing what they HAVE to do, in order to do what they WANT to do. Remember where you came from. And if you're not in the position that you want to be, know that the law of attraction only works if you do. Thank you to everyone that's believed & supported me over the past three years. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

For #MondayMotivation , let's have a round of applause for.... Me. And not just because I did a 6 a.m. workout this morning. It was my first 6 a.m. workout. EVER. I prefer to hit the gym in the evening. I've always said I'm not a morning person, and that the only reason to get out of bed so early is for a fire alarm or a well-paid consulting job. But I've learned that you have to be equal to the type of energy you want to come into your life. Every day. And every time you think you can't do something, remember that sometimes, all it takes is a choice. Choose yourself. #StayWoke #motivation #HealthIsWealth …see more
