Snapchat's IPO game plan 👻🤑
Snapchat's highly anticipating IPO filing is happening this week, and the roadshow is expected to be a spectacle. Rumors of a special lens that turns Evan Spiegel's head into Mark Zuckerberg's may be used in front of Wall Street bankers.

If the ghost's big moment is anything like Facechat's historic IPO, it will be a success. Although, it's not getting any easier with Snapbook and Instachat's relentless Stories duplication.

But there's good news! Snapchat just launched the answer to its most requested feature, while Spectacles are being spotted everywhere (other than SF).

Who built the tech industry? 🤔
Immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants. More than half of all unicorn startups were founded by people born outside the United States. Their contributions should be celebrated and their impact on the economy and peoples’ lives cannot be understated.

Over the weekend we've seen powerful demonstrations all across the country as people congregate in cities, airports, and online with record-breaking donations. Many prominent people have even offered to match people's donations.

In true maker fashion, Alexandre just launched a new site that helps others double their contributions to the ACLU. Thank you to these generous folks. 🙌
