Episode 47 • ???? Internet Trends, Facebook Libra & Long Range Teslas

We unpack the 2019 Internet Trends Report by Mary Meeker of Bondcap, a compendium of data-packed slides covering all the things you need to know about where the internet is right now — and how people are using it. From overall internet usage stats, through to social media usage, algorithm usage and eCommerce statistics, there’s lots of exciting data — particularly if you’re an entrepreneur looking for your next big idea.
In the news, the main topic of conversation is Facebook’s new “cryptocurrency”, Libra. It’s a controversial new stablecoin set to disrupt the financial services industry, with some interesting features and massive potential. We also cover Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory, which is starting to install production equipment, as well as their new high-range electric vehicle, with 620 miles of capacity in a single charge.
If you’re a founder or creator, this episode will be right up your alley. Thanks for joining us!
