Hi everyone,
A lot of you were interested in the event with Katherine Maher last time, so I just wanted to share the other upcoming event we're doing for the same speaker series. We'll be hosting Abdi Soltani, the Executive Director of the ACLU Northern California, in San Francisco. Please feel free to reach out if this sounds interesting.
Here's Abdi's bio: Abdi is a nationally-recognized civil rights leader who has dedicated his adult life to social justice and equal treatment for all. His early work as an organizer helped change California from a state that passed some of the most regressive policies in the mid-90's to a state that is among the most progressive in our nation. As Executive Director of the ACLU of Northern California since 2009, Abdi's fight for civil liberties has been expansive and inclusive of racial, gender, and economic justice. He has deepened ACLU's partnerships with communities most directly impacted by injustice and disparities. Under his leadership, the ACLU is now present in the Central Valley and at the State Capitol. This expansion has enabled the ACLU to defend and advance the civil liberties of all Californians and to mobilize our communities as a collective voice for fairness and equity. Abdi is a Levi Strauss Foundation Pioneer in Justice Fellow, and he is actively involved in the Iranian-American community.
Have an awesome weekend,
Shuo

| | My algorithm is better than yours. My algorithm performs better on the precision/recall tradeoffs. It surfaces fewer false positives. It converges to an answer faster. Perhaps it requires a bit less data. Those statements might all be true. But none of these advantages confer a competitive sales advantage in the market. They aren't technology innovations leading to a go-to-market advantage. | | There are numerous articles discussing many well known metrics to track when companies scale, and an overwhelming volume of metrics you can track, but not enough clear guidance on early stage sales metrics that can help companies answer a few critical questions. | | There have been two pillars to growth at Dropbox. The first, Dropbox' freemium model based on word-of-mouth referrals, is something that most of us have experienced if we count ourselves among the company's 500 million users. The second driver behind Dropbox's growth to hit the 500 million user milestone is something that's less visible many of its core users. | | YCombinator has been putting on an incredible set of sessions at its Startup School MOOC here. Many of the Startup School speakers are focused on SaaS, from Aaron Levie/Box to Stewart Butterfield/Slack to Dustin Moskovitz/Asana, etc. | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
