1/ Clubhouse is being powered by a company called Agora ( $API).

Founded in 2012, Agora aims to be the API standard for "real-time voice and video" like Stripe is for "payments" or Twilio is for "SMS".

$API is already valued @ $9B+ but has some interesting opportunities 🧵
2/ $API went public last year but its stock rocketed in the past few weeks in unison with milestone CH news:

• $100m funding @ ~$1B valuation (Jan 11)
• Elon Musk joining the platform (Feb 1)

Over the span, CH grew from under 1m users to >6m. Image
3/ CH was apparently built on $API in one week and is lining up to be an early anchor client like:

• Uber was for Twilio
• eBay was for Paypal
• Peloton is for Affirm

1/ About a decade ago, MIT professor Andrew Lo lost 6 people (incl. his mother) to cancer over a 4yr span.

These losses spurred Lo to find a new financing model to cure diseases. One student used Lo's research to start a biotech firm that is now worth $8B.

Here's the story🧵
2/ First, meet @AndrewWLo.

The director of MIT's Financial Engineering lab, he has taught a generation of Wall St.'s leading quants.

He created the "Adaptive Market Hypothesis" and was a Time 100 recipient in 2012 -- the mag described him as "Charles Darwin meets Adam Smith".
3/ In studying the biotech industry, Lo discovered a "valley of death" where startups couldn't get $.

It had to do w/ the drug discovery process.

A new drug might cost $200m to make w/ a 5% chance of success. Even if success = $2B/yr for 10yrs, most investors balk at the risk.

1/ Amazon Prime is a huge business, with 150m+ subs and an annual revenue of $20B+.

It's a staple in our lives...but was a total leap of faith when it launched in February 2005. Incredibly, Jeff Bezos and his team created it over a 6-week sprint.

Here's the story 🧵
2/ In the mid-2000s, Amazon was far from the behemoth we know today.

Check these market caps on September 30th, 2004:

• Amazon = $17B
• Best Buy = $18B
• eBay = $61B
• Walmart = $226B
3/ The catalyst for Prime was annoyance with Amazon's existing free-shipping offer ("Super Saver Shipping").

It was too complicated:

• You had to hit a min. order of $25 (which created a complicated recommendation system)
• Then wait 8-10 days for the items (customers pissed)
