Great summary, great lessons, definitely something worth fully digesting and internalizing.
But to be fair (and pedantic), at least one is untrue.
> • Handy measure: the distance between your fingertips of your outstretched arms at shoulder level is your height.
Ape Index = the difference between your arm span at shoulder level and your height. In other words, a +6" Ape Index means your arm span is 6 inches more than your height.
Exactly. You could assume that it's likely that something like 2.75B (out of the est 2.89B) FB users would happily wear (free) physical spyware in this scenario.
> How much would it cost to just send every one of them an Oculus headset for free?
That's the wrong question.
The right question is "how many FB users would accept a free headset that advertisers paid for in exchange for access to your data and exclusive rights to place ads in front of you?"
The good news is that there are tons of VCs out there who are really good and are well aligned with our opinions and interests. There is absolutely no need to talk to these guys much less take money from them.
