Rachio is a company that sells smart irrigation system controllers and creatively combines data from different sources to provide integrated services for its customers.
Would you rather lead a light or a heavy company?

Technology changes habits. It seems like it was only a few years ago, when we had no choice but to go to the grocery store and wander around the shelves and be stuck in endless lines...

Very interesting post. The patient-doctor relationship is very specific, but it might be reshaped by technology. My doubts concern mainly the articulation value capture model. Are “flat fee per consultations” the right way to value medical expertise? Will this platform attract only low-quality doctors?

On October 17, 2019, Luca Vendraminelli commented on DroneBase: Business at 400 Feet :

Thanks for sharing. It is very interesting how this platform certificates “flight” skills, creating standards for pilots. It will be interesting to see how incumbents in the logistic sector will react to this kind of “indirect regulation” of the drones pilots market.

On October 17, 2019, Luca Vendraminelli commented on Old Clothes, New Strategies: ThredUP’s Evolution :

Thanks for this interesting piece. I think this platform provides also an indirect value for citizens, reducing the fashion environmental impact – or it does its share in this direction at least.
What is not clear to me here is how the volume of stock will evolve, since ratio inbound/outbound seems very low, isn’t it? If ThreadUP collects garments before they have been sold, I’m inclined to believe the stock continuously grows. Is this increasing the complexity of the matching system? How many clothes need to be dismissed to safeguard platform’s operations? Is this a limit to scale?
