    Well done to the 42% of this cohort who passed matric in 2019 - it's an important first step towards stable employment in SA. For the other half who weren't spoken about today, we need to do better to support you in the future...

    A continued demonstration of vertical SaaS companies monetizing via Fintech by Toast POS. First payments, now loans. Where in addition to having already acquired the restaurant customer (usually high cost for lending cos!), Toast has better data.

    Market the movement, not the product. Salesforce never sold Salesforce, they sold the cloud. Once you were bought into the cloud, the obvious thing was to buy Salesforce. Hubspot never sold Hubspot, they sold inbound. Once you bought inbound, you bought Hubspot.

    Apparently Charles Schwab just cut commissions to zero, which was always going to happen but feels plausibly sped up by RobinHood. (If you don’t understand why they could do that, c.f. )
