Today, many startup founders wonder how to write a great blurb for their firms. Well, it's not rocket science, but effort has to be there! A twitter thread...

#startups #blurb #intro #pitch #gist #economics #business #finance #investment Image
A great blurb always helps startup owners effectively introduce their products & services to their target audience. Besides increasing the sales, a short yet crispy blurb can also attract investors for startup funding. It can be a tool to attract the best talents, too. #HR #IT
Your startup blurb should be different for different purposes, but here’s what a great blurb should consist of:

-A pitch within 25 words.
-Use bullet points to highlight relevant stuff.
-Additional context

1/ @Stellaris_VP PoV on #B2B #speciality #chemicals #export opportunity from India.

In 1-line: Large market, massive tailwinds, high margins however getting suppliers export-ready and solving for high lead times to acquire buyers are 2 key challenges.

@rchowdhri @rupaligoel9
2/ Let's start with 101 definitions.

Speciality chemical is any chemical which imparts a very specific property to a finished good. Eg. Colour, fragrance, durability.

It's formulation is done working backwards from the desired property required in the finished good.
3/ Then there are commodity chemicals. Think of them as raw materials for speciality chemicals.

Examples of commodity chemicals are: Acetic acid, Acetone, Benzene, Toluene, Glycerol etc.

#Commerce OPERATIONS thread from a technology perspective:

Agenda:
1)EDD
2) SLAs
3) Inventory picture
4) Returns
5) Refunds
1) EDD - The golden goose is giving an unique and accurate estimated delivery date for every customer based on their location. The problem - this is HARD.
There are solutions that can solve this in theory, like @narvarinc, but in reality no one does EDD exceptionally well because there are so many rules and edge cases to consider.

There was a time when a slew of B2B commerce startups - Inframarket, Moglix, Zetwerk and likes - got funded. That was followed by a dry spell when B2B was put on “Back Burner” and consumer-tech became the buzz-word - gaming, consumer social, creator-economy occupied all minds
Lately, the wave is turning

Introducing my sectors of focus to folks at VC events as “B2B commerce and consumer-tech” from “consumer-tech and B2B commerce” earlier, I witnessed the mood of ecosystem change first-hand
My interest in the sector goes back a long way. Having grown up in a through and through business family, “dhandha” companies dealing in on-ground operations, intricate networks of suppliers, distributors, and consumers, complex payment & WC cycles have always piqued my curiosity

Nicole Gnesotto à #NormandiePourLaPaix : "Il est important de regarder les murs d’aujourd’hui, les crises d’aujourd’hui en essayant d’inventer des solutions d’aujourd’hui. Pour abattre les murs, les outils sont la #Diplomatie, le #commerce et la #culture.
#NPP2022
"Le rôle de la #Diplomatie est essentiel : on a cru que le Mur de Berlin durerait toujours, ce qui n'a pas été le cas. Aucun mur n’est infranchissable. Un autre exemple avec Taiwan et le détroit de Formose qui est un mur politique et stratégique" (1/2) #NPP2022
"Cet exemple de Taiwan est intéressant car ce "mur" stabilise la situation et pose la question : faut-il toujours vouloir détruire les murs ? N'y a t-il pas des situations dans le monde où le maintien du statu quo est plus stabilisant que la révolution ou la destruction ?"

I spoke with #TSMC's Former General Counsel Richard "Dick" Thurston on how to interpret the #China provision in the #CHIPSAct. One provision prevents recipients of the funding from expanding advanced chip capacity in China in next 10 years. What is exactly restricted? (1/11)
"..the covered entity MAY NOT engage in any SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION....involving the MATERIAL EXPANSION of semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the People’s Republic of China." The restriction is designed for advanced node under 28-nanometer (28nm not included). (2/11)
As for memory, analog and packaging technologies, the restriction would be on any #legacy generation of semiconductor technology relative to logic chips under 28nm...as determined by Secretary of #Commerce. Not clear how to define the technologies mentioned above yet. (3/11)

The Power of The Dollar 🧵

[a thread for normies -like me]
Long periods of #dollar-strength often ended with massive financial dislocations like the Latin American #debt crisis of the 80s and the Asian crisis of the 90s.

Oppositely, long periods of a weakening dollar came with strong markets like between 2003-2007.

1/20
Although the #USdollar is not itself an asset, cash is.

The dollar is the most common currency in which assets are quoted and exchanged in #financialmarkets and the economy.

It's the world's reserve currency (for now at least...) 2/ 20

It is very important in this period of humanity to take a serious look at what is happening in the world friends.

Watch this video first in its entirety & reflect upon current situations critically.

🙏

#Menticide is here & with it, a new attempt to establish a "#TechnoTotalitarian" rule over the lives of American citizens.

The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
That may sound absurd, but what is very concerning is that many talking heads in the media & even public figures are now making very carefully worded emotional appeals to logic to further induce a totalitarian #masspsychosis.

Shopify surpassed 5,000 apps in the App Store in 2020, but the growth has only just begun. Here are some #commerce trends I expect we’ll see more of in @Shopify's app ecosystem in 2021. 👇
SMS/messaging - these apps have been on the rise for the last few years, but I anticipate more features built into these services and geo specific versions with the conversion rates higher than email.
Video & 3D/AR - an increase in apps that help merchants create video and rich 3D/AR content around their brand and products. Online stores will become more of an "experience" and video as we've seen, is king. 👑

[Thread⚡️] @JeanCASTEX recevra vendredi un rapport sur les impacts de l’accord de commerce UE-#Mercosur, réalisé par une commission d’experts nommée par le gouvernement. Et ensuite ? La 🇫🇷 doit faire le choix d’abandonner les négociations de cet accord climaticide ! Pourquoi ? ⤵️ Image
1/ L’agriculture 🇪🇺 serait sacrifiée : l’accord UE-#Mercosur permet l’entrée sur le marché 🇪🇺 de gros volumes de denrées agricoles avec droits de douane nuls ou réduits. (Alors que le Mercosur = déjà 50% de nos importations de viande de volaille et 70% de viande de boeuf !) 🐄🐔
2/ Problème par rapport aux agriculteurs 🇪🇺? C’est une concurrence déloyale: dans les pays du #Mercosur les normes sanitaires & environnementales sont moins strictes. Ils autorisent notamment l'utilisation d'antibiotiques comme activateurs de croissance, ce qui est interdit en 🇪🇺 Image

State of #unemployment & #underemployment in India is pathetic. But comparing that to the SSR case is worse. If rallying behind a cause is what it takes to shake an age old toxic tree, then why aren’t the ones who care about unemployment doing it? I care about both but saying one
is more important than the other is simply foolish. One case is about our economy and other is about drugs and sex trafficking. Not just murder. Both are fcuking up our youth.
Our #education system is a massive loophole. The govt talks about #DigitalIndia but cannot make a digital platform for education during the lockdown? How are universities around the world conducting exams? Why can't we build something when we have the ability?

"The United States champions a free & open Indo-Pacific. ..."

(Maps from @NavalInstitute @USNIBooks)
"Today we are strengthening U.S. policy in a vital, contentious part of that region — the #SouthChinaSea. We are making clear: #Beijing’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them."
"In the #SouthChinaSea, we seek to preserve peace and stability, uphold #freedom of the #seas in a manner consistent with international #law, maintain the unimpeded flow of #commerce, and oppose any attempt to use coercion or force to settle disputes."

I can't help but wonder if we're seeing a speeded-up #digital equivalent of the #Disneyfication of #TimesSquare.

While @AlphabetINC's @sidewalklabs & others obsess on '#SmartCities', maybe the intersection of the web's '#PublicSquares' and #commerce works the other way too?
On the #Disneyfication of #TimesSquare:

excited to have sourced, and then led @honey’s Series C - a few thoughts on the company that was just acquired by @paypal for $4B (will keep this high-level as the deal has not yet closed; also just finding time now to post - this happened 2 week ago):
techcrunch.com/2019/11/20/pay…
@honey @PayPal 1/ vision: from the beginning, the vision of the company was to democratize money for consumers. cofounders George and Ryan had the courage to stay the course and not chase shinier but more temporary opportunities when others didn’t believe their vision.
@honey @PayPal 2/ consumer first: creating a win/win/win mechanism is incredibly powerful, and all the more sticky when all the friction is removed from using it - consumers save money, merchants get more conversion, honey makes the affiliate fee (not selling data, not charging people)

🙋🏻‍♀️Good morning from #Miami City Commish taking up the billion-$ #soccer & #commerce complex at Mel Reese.
On the table:
* no-bid lease agreement
* stopping all talks & putting it all out for bids
* Mayor’s request to delay
* any unexpected twist
@WPLGLocal10 stay tuned!⚽️ ImageImage
2/
Gist of public comments so far:
Pro: “voters approved negotiations”, “...good revenue source”, “world-class #MLS soccer & park space”
Con: voters were “bamboozled”, “save the green space”, “no-bid sell-out to special interests”
@WPLGLocal10 #MiamiFreedomPark

#Miami Freedom Park people came to make presentation.
Commish Manolo Reyes (a “no” vote):“We don’t need a presentation...we’ve heard it all...”
Reyes says he is not vs soccer or project; but is opposed to circumvented process & vote swayed by deep-pocket campaign

The @worldbankgroup conducted a series of private sector stakeholder consultations with 254 private sector representatives of #Pakistani exporters in the manufacturing, agro processing, and services sectors to identify key challenges to #exports competitiveness. Image
1. Identified the need to put a cap on the gas and #electricity tariffs faced by exporting entities to cut energy costs to reverse the effect on cash flows, especially in comparison with competitor #economies (Bangladesh, India, Vietnam)
2. Need to rectify distortions in the #tax regimes; reduce #GST, #tariffs and regulatory duties on imported intermediate goods. Documentation related complexities also need to be simplified to encourage #SMEs.
