.@wonder is reshaping the restaurant & delivery model so great food can (finally) scale. It's secret ingredient for success? Chefs' approval. Says @ChefJJ "I talk to Bobby Flay about it all the time. He’s like, ‘JJ, I wish I had a @MarcLore at your age.’” eater.com/24125349/wonde…

AI-powered SaaS that "does the work" is becoming popular, but tech-enabled services businesses that depend on actual people are still considered a no-fly zone in venture. We believe that’s about to change @ForerunnerVC.

The public narrative about consumer investing is detached from the potential. Last year, VC firms distanced themselves from the category and just 7% of seed capital went to consumer. But consumer company performance largely outpaces enterprise. My piece in @theinformation:
