    Shopify’s GMV alludes to how large the Passion Economy could be if digital goods, services, and communities were as easily monetized as physical products. Q3 GMV of $14.8B, mostly from SMB.

    I spent my Sunday reading 's new book about VC, then got to p. 269: "If you made it this far, congratulations to you, and might I suggest that you find some hobbies?" Ouch 😂 Shade aside, it's great - wish I had this when I started in the industry!

    Katrina Lake was one of the first founders I reached out to when I joined a16z almost 3 years ago. But as we all now know Stitch Fix didn't need more VC $ 🙂 Loved hearing her speak about: - Being the underdog and hoping women in the future don't have to be underestimated!

    We also discuss exits including Gimlet and Anchor’s multi-million dollar acquisitions and what they mean for the startup landscape. And take a tour through what's going on in startup-land now: lots of new consumer apps, vertical audio apps, and VC-backed production studios.

    We created a taxonomy of podcast producers, which illustrates the power law of content. Everyone from media companies to public radio to (what calls) "cult of personality" shows.

    1 out of 4 Americans are listening to podcasts weekly and industry revenue is at an all-time high. But there's challenges: dominance by a few platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify) and lack of monetization infrastructure. Here’s some data from The Infinite Dial 2019 on growth:
