    State of the art data science is now an ante. A business must be great at data science to be in the game at all. It isn’t optional.

    Lake: Stitch Fix has “a totally different model and it requires education and understanding of how the data science is important in the model.” Every business in every business must do this.

    Lake has Stitch Fix achieving this in *retail fashion* in 2017. Think about how hard that business has been for others. The chops of the SF data science team = superb

    The performance of Katrina Lake is impressive: “Our marketing spend is very modest compared to other e-commerce companies. Last year it was at 7% [of revenue].”

    It is almost as if this is a lot of sales and marketing spending.

    Venture capital punches WAY above its weight in terms of impact. Think about how small VC is in the context of other capital markets.

    My COGS are $0 so GM is 100%. Marketing also $0. All my 12.5% royalty goes to No Kid Hungry. “$10 connects a child with up to 100 meals.”

    Amazon saved me $4.88 for pre-ordering ’s new book. In honor of Tren’s relentless focus on unit economics, I’d love a case study breakdown of CAC, ARPU, COGS to reveal Tren’s gross margin as a publisher

    3/ “No IPO pop.” WTF. That Stitch Fix didn’t sell equity for less that market value is a feature not a bug. Only bankers benefit from underpriced shares.

    2/ She built a a business in *retail fashion* in 2017. Think about what is happening to other businesses in that market. Total of $42M raised and an IPO.

    1/ One thing to be thankful for is Katrina Lake not having decided to build her startup in your industry. What she has done with Stitch Fix is amazing.
