Matchmaking has been around a long time, and if you've seen the popular Indian Matchmaking show on Netflix, you'll see it's been around for awhile. As I was driving home from that meeting, I decided to work from there, and ended up writing a business plan and fundraising from family and friends.

Homecoming King @hasanminhaj on @netflix is a brilliant, incisive, cutting look at race & immigration in US. The writing on this show is some of the best writing in modern American comedic shows. Below is the Tweet I sent immediately after seeing it.

Where you can talk about topics that it might not be appropriate for a VC to discuss in writing. We talked about this concept and also: online video, lawsuits with big media companies, the value or not of circles in Google Plus, the economic reasons behind the NetFlix decision, social TV startup Chill and much, much more. Thank you.

Many people will write the history on why Ring became an enormously successful company and why it became a real-world unicorn in a world when many startups are anointed that merely on paper. It is fundamentally because they build very compelling hardware that couples with iTunes, the App Store and so forth.

We both felt that the critical reasoning skills and writing skills were critical to our career development. We talked about the analogies between what NetFlix achieved in movies and whether this is relevant to the book market. Mo & I both have double majors with one being finance / econ.

Obviously, anyone except the largest five to ten content companies in the world, such as Google, Netflix, or Amazon, does not need to own their own CDN. Software-as-a-service companies write good software, and network companies build good networks, but rarely do you find both that do that well as the same time.

I believe that NetFlix has won the battle for the “head end&# of content from films. They have such a strong base of subscribers and their strategy of “Netflix everywhere&# is brilliant. I’m such a big believer in the power of writing, editing and producing. We watch it on the iPad. We pause.

It’s more like writing a Tweet vs. sending a Direct Message (DM) in Twitter, which feels more intimate and intrusive or a FB post vs. a Private Message. I’ve just been dying to find the time to write a how-to guide for many of my friends who don’t get Snapchat. Stories is the place to find your sea legs.

It’s a Netflix for business cards and receipts. On the card I usually write the date, where I met the person, how I met them and what value I can bring to the table. So if you are selling me a solution to a core problem I have then that means I have been actively seeking you out and I’m relieved to find out you exist. Blogs and Forums.

In more than a decade of writing about the Internet and tech-enabled businesses I’ve learned that mobs don’t do nuance well. Distribution of media is tightly controlled by YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, Amazon and a handful of others. The reality is that cryptocurrencies can be both and can be liberating and corrupting at the same time.

We had to write a CRM to keep track of them all. Example: Netflix). I’m going to try to do something for you guys that I’ve always resisted doing. One of the big questions, probably the biggest questions that I get from reporters, is 'what trends do you see? What’s going to happen in the future?' There is no competition.

The questions that a VC mulls before writing a check are precisely the questions you should be asking yourself. It is Blockbuster video in the dawn of Netflix. In many ways the fact that it has become so cheap to start a company and relatively cheap to raise angel/seed money that we as an industry have gotten lazy on basic planning.

For instance, if a user registers for a firewall, subsequent offers for anti-spam or anti-spyware solutions will generally fare better than random solicitations for Netflix, Geico or the secret to whiter teeth. As with all marketing techniques, the more contextually relevant the co-registration offers, the higher the attach rate.
