Stealing money from Steph Curry, The Launch House fiasco, and Stanford sugar babies, and Figma's real winners.
Stretch Four Insights Premium 1
In addition to my free newsletter this is a premium newsletter focused on more in depth coverage across the areas I research, network in, and get information on.
I will have more takes here, write about more controversial subject matters that my general newsletter. I will delve deeper into politics, religion, scandals, and how it relates to the inner workings of Silicon Valley that does not get widely covered across mainstream news media.
This week I have four stories I want to dive into a bit deeper:
In the Rolling Stone piece on Steph Curry they hinted as someone stealing money from him — I give my take on who it is why and in the implications of NBA fortunes getting mismanaged.
This week Vox put out a hit piece on startup Launch House, I got some anonymous tips for some members on how Vox itself manipulated internal participants to get the details on what was going on.
I came across another interesting Substack on Stanford sugar babies who are making thousands of dollars a month using TikTok as their free go-to-market lead generation engine.
