Fascinating company! Does Birchbox receive the samples free from the companies that are trying to promote awareness and distribution? If so, I wonder if there is a risk of companies no longer supplying the products for free (or at a discounted price) if they don’t see desired returns. Does Birchbox track conversion rates from the boxes and share those with the beauty products? I’m also curious to learn more about the company culture and staffing model. Are staff passionate and well versed on makeup and beauty products? Finally, I also wonder if they could add a “premier” Birchbox subscription package with the highest end products. This could help improve margins and be a way to price discriminate.
Great analysis, Sagar! There is definitely huge value in being able to quickly cut and visualize data. A few thoughts and questions:
1. How does Tableau’s organizational culture and structure support its mission? Is it built in such a way to facilitate innovation?
2. I wonder how Tableau will be able to keep its competitive advantage given the low barriers to entry in the marketplace. They could potentially embed or partner with other frequently used software to make it more of a staple for users.
3. I am also curious about how Tableau thinks about continuing to scale. This might involve being used as a policy making / government tool or thinking about adjacent products (ed. tech?).
