$SNOW Some thoughts on $SNOW

1/ RPO is what matters for Snowflake because customers pay for credits for storage + compute. Snowflake isn't a SaaS business (e.g pay $ per month per seat)

$1.3B RPO up 213% y/y is a great sign for future rev to come

$TWLO A lot of interesting takeaways from $TWLO earnings

1/ Revenue growth was AWESOME this quarter 📈
- 52% organic growth
- Twilio added $217m net new in Q4'20 which is the highest ever historically

If Doordash is the next Amazon, that means $DASH is a massive logistics platform.

But it's worth noting Amazon's non-AWS business isn't super profitable.

Amazon Q3YTD: $160b net sales w/ 3.5% operating margin (+$5.7b op income)

Doordash Q3: $879m revenue w/ 10% adj EBITDA

1/6 2/6 Impressive $DASH is now adj EBITDA positive and contribution margin % (gross profit - s&m + d&a) became even more +

Driven by rising contribution margins as cohorts age that @ataussig discusses here firehose.vc/p/firehose-181…

Calm is another B2C that came from behind

Started 2 years after Headspace

With $1.5m seed round, Calm got to $40m and profitable

Overtook Headspace in revenue in '17 despite having a smaller team and now Calm is reportedly raising a $2b.

Same markets different outcomes. Why? My guess

1/ Calm was leaner so had to focus on building a simple and well-designed meditation app that was high quality and not focus on corporations and B2B deals. I remember preferring Calm because of the "daily calm" over Headspace which I felt was unwieldy at times
