    The Indian SaaS scene is very underrated 🇮🇳 Freshworks and Zoho are the first businesses worth $5-10B each, on the back of ~$500M ARR each and still growing 50%+. Next generation looking very promising. Hats off to Indian entrepreneurs who are building a startup ecosystem🧢 👏

    Funny pick me up: All the K-12 students that now have online classes are giving Zoom 1-star reviews on the App Store Poor Zoom going to have WebEx level NPS after this is over Can only imagine Zoom’s customer support team reaching out to kids to resolve their issues 😂

    Anecdotally see that some Bay Area high schools have more founders than top universities: - Menlo School - Lynbrook - Monta Vista - Harker - Gunn Wild. Where else does this exist?

    Stat that blew my mind: 🤯 Zoom did more in operating cash flow ($411M in Q3, $1.65B annualized) than Salesforce ($350M in Q3, $1.4B annualized) did in the most recent quarter 💰 Amazing considering $ZM's scale is ~15% of $CRM's -- $3.2B ARR versus $21.8B

    NFTs are cool, but bought some 50 year old art from a local Indian artist in Singapore. Her eyes will follow you any part of the room you are in. The painting is made with real gold polish.

    Incumbent trust fund baby is laughable. You think his parents gave him Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, etc.?

    1// Of all the S-1s this year (Uber, Lyft, Pagerduty, Slack, etc.) & the 17 others in SaaS in 2018, Zoom is #1 in growth rate by a wide margin (120% growth, next closest is Slack and Pagerduty in 50s%; for 2018, Elastic at 70%). It’s also #1 in 2019 for profit margin by a large..

    Microsoft acquired LinkedIn and Github for <4% of today’s current enterprise value In hindsight, probably best M&A of 2010s? Definitely lots of great contenders too, but can see how both of those will continue to be incredibly big, enduring businesses inside Microsoft
