摘要
Today’s show: Circle gears up for its IPO and the stablecoin wars heat up, Palantir’s meme stock status gets a reality check, and they riff on a possible Uber + DoorDash merger and whether AI should train on Substack content. They react to Sequoia partner Andrew Reed’s inside take on fund dynamics, laugh at a brutal VC meme, and wrap with “Office Hours” featuring Caylee Harrington, founder of Hookhub — the Airbnb for RV parking — to talk vanlife, growth, and building in an unsexy market.*Timestamps:(0:00) Alex and Jason kicks off the show!(1:29) Palantir's stock and market dynamics(5:43) Meme stocks and reversion to the mean(6:57) X and XAI merger(10:01) Squarespace - TWiST listeners: use code TWIST to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain: https://www.Squarespace.com/TWIST(12:05) M&A trends in tech and AI content acquisitions(17:22) Valuation strategies for acquisitions(22:05) Fidelity Private Shares - Visit https://www.fidelityprivateshares.com!
