Colors: Norwegian Winter II

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Norwegian Winter II

Duolingo Benefits from Google Play Fee Reduction

Language learning service provider Duolingo (Nasdaq: DUOL) recently announced its fourth-quarter results. The company had listed last summer, but has failed to maintain its list price since. It continues to invest in growth by building on its content and user engagement strategy and believes that it can compete with other media streaming players as well. The recent app store price cut is expected to help Duolingo significantly.

David Moss: The third thing we do is we’re bringing people together. If we look at the history of computing, in every era, killer apps would emerge. These apps were killer because they’re viral. They’re viral because they’re social. What’s key is to take the newest technology of the day and find how we can intersect that with elements that are social.

There is nothing more social than taking care of somebody. We are bringing together family caregivers and we are bringing together professional caregivers to provide care. Usually, it’s a primary caregiver who steps up. This person has a lot of stress. What we need to do is distribute that stress to the rest of the family and provide them with a better lifestyle.

Israeli Founders Building a FinTech Venture: Omri Dor, Co-Founder and COO of Obligo (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: What about customers? Did you have customers?

Omri Dor: That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Roey and I did a couple of trips to London. We went there and were going door-to-door to residential brokers. We would walk in and show them the demo and a video. It was an explainer video. We would walk door-to-door getting them to sign letters of intent. I believe we got zero.
