before i went on paternity leave over 2 years ago, a bunch of my colleagues at Twitter did something wonderful: they each gifted me their favorite children’s book with a hand written message inside the cover about why it was meaningful to them. 2 years later and I’m still in awe…
I've got @kayvz (beloved ex-Twitter head of product, co-founder of Periscope which he sold to Twitter, hit 100+ million users) coming on the podcast next week. Any juicy questions you'd want me to ask?

The two biggest biases you’ll run into when doing a startup are from people that know *too* much: 1. This problem is already solved and doesn’t need a new solution 2. Every time this problem has been attempted to be solved it never works Sometimes you just need fresh eyes.

@kayvz IMO at some level it’s not a technology or underwriting issue. The risk is just extremely high and even with less regulation or better tech/data/underwriting we’d still wind up with unaffordable policies. Need risk mitigation not financial engineering.
@kayvz - increased total loss deductible - reduced personal property value (which default was a 75% function of my home price, which is laughable) - reduced extended replacement Your mileage may vary but the defaults were a joke.
@kayvz More practically (because presumably you’re going through this now, or just did), I also had to renew in CA this year. My premium increased like 80%. Sifting through fine print of my proposed policy, I elected to make the following changes which *drastically* reduced my premium:
@kayvz have thought this same thing for a long time. Seems like a trillion dollar opportunity for whoever can figure this out by combining insurance + new tech
