A bit of a controversial one, as you can see by the comments. @laureltouby @cm_brown90 @daveambrose @dburben, and Matt F dug into the ethical dilemma.

5. Unity

- Revenue of $541M in '19, up 42% YoY

- Not profitable
- Formidable rival in Epic

For a deeper riff on the metaverse, check out the conversation between @patrick_oshag, @daveambrose, @itsmeeraclark, @adam_keesling, and @packyM.

6. JFrog

Haven't found in thread form, but nice summary write-up from @jaminball. Great source for SaaS analysis.

7. Opendoor

As usual, great report from @packyM. Now we just gotta get him to do a thread ;)

What resources should have been in here?

Who else is writing great Twitter-native analysis?

Would love to learn about them.

If you have space for just one newsletter about tech and public markets...I recommend signing up for @kevinakwok's Kwokchain.

But if you have space for more than one, you might like The Generalist.
