💀 Why did Tink Labs fail? Tink Labs provided free-to-use smartphones in hotel rooms. It was one of Hong Kong's unicorns - until recently, when they announced they were laying off all of its employees and shutting down.

what I'm reading 👀

​+100 VCs rejected this startup, now it's valued $15B. This is the story of Canva, the design tool pretty much everyone has used. I was amazed to hear the business is fully bootstrapped and that 95% of it is owned by the founders. SEO is their main acquisition channel.

​State of Independent SaaS. This is a great report created by MicroConf, a community of bootstrapped SaaS founders. I was shocked by many of the insights they found out.
