Not every product needs to generate profit
20VC with Harry Stebbings· 2026-03-18 19:20
The interesting thing about having a multi-product portfolio is that not every product needs to generate profit. People always like, "Oh, it's not making money." Square Capital didn't make much money, but it was very good for retention. Some products are good for making money. They're part of the profit pool and some are good for retention. Companies need to be very clear which are the profit pool products and which are the retentive products.If you confuse the two, your teams don't know and they're built f ...

TEDx Talks· 2026-03-13 15:39
Why, after decades of diet advice, fitness trends, and wellness programmes, are health outcomes still getting worse? In this talk, Dr Julia Jones challenges the traditional health coaching model and argues that information alone is not enough to create lasting change.

Charles Darwin, who is universally recognized as the father of evolution, as his theories have influenced generations of scientists who have later developed significant discoveries. Well, Charles Darwin was the first to coin the term universal Darwinism.So, the idea that the biological principles ...

Why we cut 30% (the 🔑 to retention)
20VC with Harry Stebbings· 2025-12-08 05:00
Would you ever let your product be released if 30% of it was me. Can you imagine if Sam Orman came out and said 30% of GPTs. Nah, but 70 is pretty good.No, you don't ship it. And so it's the same for why we don't release 30%. And it's the same for why we cut so heavily.I value your attention so much and I fear churn so much that I want every sentence to be valuable which is why I will make sure that we construct shows in a way that you get the first nugget of wisdom within the first 3 to 5 minutes that we t ...

Leaders often frame return-to-office policies as a way to rebuild culture. In-person work, they hope, can boost engagement and retention, strengthen community, and spark innovation.But the numbers reveal something else. Strictly enforcing in-office mandates can erode trust, connection, and engagement—ironically, the very elements leaders are trying to strengthen by bringing employees back to the office. https://t.co/tdWjSdbzyQ ...
