Thereās a 2 year warranty on iPhone duo, if it breaks because of a manufacturing defect, itāll be replaced. Donāt see the big deal š¤·āāļø
General airport lounges are a broken model... you now get lounge access with any old package holiday. It's no longer a "luxury" (aside from airlines own lounges where they are strictly accessible on status/ticket class). It's definitely no longer of value to Amex (or similar) card holders.
Revolut just launched UK personal loans: Ā£2kāĀ£25k at personalised rates from 6.9% to 29.3%.
29.3% is credit-card territory.
Given Revolutās user base (younger, often secondary account, thinner credit files), the low-rate tier is going to be a small club. That means many young people will be agreeing to (likely) gamified loan offers at an extortionate rate.
This is no doubt a money maker for Revolut ahead of IPO, but itās got a Klarna feel to it?
UK founders: whatās the one thing the Budget could do next week that would actually change how you invest or hire?
(Be honest.)
AI spend fears just hit the market again this week. Markets are finally asking what most founders already know: how much of this actually turns into cashflow?
The real money isnāt in the mega-cap build-out - itās in the boring layer that shows ROI in 90 days.
What are you building or buying?
After the first couple of weeks back, engagement on X seems to have fallen off a cliff? Has there been a change in algorithm, or is it me?
I donāt mind Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox. People constantly say politicians should be more like the rest of us, then complain the second one does something ordinary like watching TV with their mate (for charity, too).
The āhe shouldnāt have timeā argument is also weak. A couple of hours of filming is almost certainly less time than heās now spending fielding media questions about it.
Although⦠I might (like a politician) change my mind if the upcoming budget doesnāt support businesses and entrepreneurs!
Thankfully I've just had 6 bottles of Bollinger delivered... I'll add it to my emergency preparedness kit
I love the Bending Spoons business model - especially whilst SaaS is out of favour in the equity world.
They buy digital products that already have proven product-market fit and cash flow, then run them through a shared high-talent operating platform, optimise the hell out of monetisation and efficiency, then reinvest the cash flow into the next deal.
It's genius and at the moment, it's a big leverage play!

So⦠question for the normal people who actually paid for their iPhone Duo - what we saying? ā
