1.) Never Given
2.) Coach Harry
3.) Dispo’s Fever
4.) Striking a Discord

1.) Never Given: did ya know 12% of global trade goes through a 200 meter wide passageway in Egypt? Welp, a big ship named the Ever Given has run aground in the Suez Canal and that 12% is currently at 0%. May take weeks to re-float! Weeks! It’s kinda funny and kinda scary at the same time

2.) Coach Harry: Prince Harry, hot off the heels of his Oprah interview, is joining coaching startup BetterUp as Chief Impact Officer. Honestly, pretty cool win for BetterUp to have the Duke of Sussex’s perspective. Wonder what his co-workers will call him tbh

3.) Dispo’s Fever: Spark Capital has renounced their economic interest in photo sharing startup Dispo shortly after leading their Series A. The news came after footage resurfaced of an ugly alleged assault situation from content star & Dispo board member David Dobrik’s YouTube channel. Yeesh, not good

4.) Striking a Discord: after losing out on TikTok, Microsoft is making a $10B bid for Discord. The future of gaming (and messaging?) is community driven and social. Pairing Xbox, Minecraft and more with Discord’s messaging platform could be a powerful combination. Big tech…the everything store!
