Entrepreneurship research repeatedly finds that there is no clear way to know which early startups will win. Investing in EVERY startup raising 💰 beats a portfolio of 10 startups selected by a VC 75% of the time (& when VCs do better, it is just by a bit) angellist.com/blog/what-ange…

I'm not a Spotify user, but some1 tried 2 use my credit card to fraudulently pay for their a/c. Contacted Spotify 2 sort it out, as per bank advice, and was very impressed with their service. To my further delight, the person who dealt with this dodgy fraudster was named Shae D.!
