TOP FIVE
🚀Productivity / The common belief is that we need to maximize brain activity for peak productivity. But what if the truth is exactly the opposite? In "The Secret to Superhuman Performance", Matt D'Avella argues for the right mindset.
👍Memos / How do you prove conviction in an investment to partners? Well, the traditional approach is the "Investment Memo". I'm a big believer that entrepreneurs should leverage this framework to understand how investors may look at their businesses. For people looking for a job at a startup, it is also a great way to compare options. Give it a read here.
🌵Feeding the World / "How the Dutch Use Architecture to Feed the World" is great illustration of inventiveness and creativity. True innovation at work.
🦄 State of Product / Our local unicorn, Pendo, put out their "State of Product Leadership". It encompasses the realm of product and it's landscape. It's a comprehensive document to understand what's next in product and the size of the opportunity ahead.
🥇State of Daaps / Now that we are talking about the State of Product, how about the State of Dapps? We haven't discussed blockchain lately, so I though you may want to take a look at this report and know what's still clicking. And yes, Bitcoin tripled after it's low a year ago.
