The walkie talkie matrix. Potential Walmart targets. Medical mirrors.
Shepherd to Lost Sheep
Hi there,
People get very sensitive when folks are critical of startup founders.
But, sometimes it is warranted.
To help you understand when it is and when it is not acceptable to be critical of startup founders, we used AI-infused blockchain to develop the Walkie-Talkie Magic Matrix.
Walmart’s been on a buying spree, acquiring companies from e-commerce platforms to outdoor apparel retailers. Since the retail giant announced plans to continue snapping up startups, we took a data-driven look at 11 possible targets.
Like the last 2 years, the speaker lineup will be insanely good.
Today, I’m excited to announce that we’ll be hosting the “consigliere” of the PayPal mafia, Max Levchin, at this year’s Future of Fintech.
After selling PayPal to eBay, Levchin served on a few boards (Evernote, Yelp, and Yahoo!) before eventually founding Affirm (rumored valuation of $1.5-2B). The company allows you to make purchases online using a line of credit rather than a credit card.
Join us as we talk with Max about the future of credit and consumer power. Get your ticket today with the early-bird rate.
