      From back to front: "leveraging networks, platforms, and protocols" == need to have network effects but that no longer necessarily means building your own network or platform -- there are plenty out there and new ones include crypto protocolshttps://twitter.com/gaberivera/status/981305873942196224 …

      "broaden access to knowledge, capital, and well-being" -- expand markets by making it easier and cheaper to get to the most important enablers -- many of these are expensive today for those who least have them, cf overdraft fees in bank account

      So yes, it all means something quite precise but hard to fit that into a single tweet.

          The question is - how many of the top 20 global private tech 'companies' in 2030 will fit the new thesis?

          Yes, for an early stage firm like ourselves worth bookmarking and revisiting 5-10 years down the line. Still to give a recent example @spotify does fit. And so of course does @SoundCloud (just a bit smaller).
