You Can't Scale Exclusivity

Over on LinkedIN .. 🔗 The downfall of Soho House.

Turns out that SH is in the ‘dodo’. Personally not surprised. Never a member - often as a guest back in the day - but more recently as I noticed that ‘everyone was a member’, I felt something was up - but too many other rabbit holes to dive into.

Back in the day it was a wonderful place. Seems to me that it fails for similar reasons that exclusive fine dining restaurants and this ‘boutique wineries’ ultimately fail .. you can’t scale exclusivity.

‘But what about Patek Philippe Watches and Hermes bags’ I hear you cry. ‘Different’ I reply. Product - not service. You can manage the demand. For example - there are Hermes bags for sale that you can’t buy - even if you can afford one.

Anyway - back to Soho. This came to mind.

That’s why it was predictable.

🔗 Simple Advice for Junior Folks in Venture Capital

Don’t Be a Generalist. Do One Thing Really Well for your GP and One Thing Really Well for Founders.

💬 Hunter Walk

I know what he’s trying to say .. and it is ‘simple advice’ that is said a lot - not just VCS.

BUT if everybody does this - without exception - who will;

  • Connect the dots
  • See the ocean
  • Provide the context
  • Understand the big picture
  • Make the leaps

I worry that the continual cry to double down on specialisation is going to mean that we miss a lot. Too much even.

Which Is Why

Amazon taking control of James Bond is like McDonald’s taking over a great steakhouse chain like Del Frisco’s.

💬 John Gruber

it seems like only yesterday that I was reading how much BB hated Amazon - and how they would never have creative control - and yet here we are.

🔗 The Braindump Blog reporting that Twitter (sic) is blocking ‘Signal.me’.

Signal has been especially important over these past few weeks as federal employees have reached out to journalists to blow the whistle on what Elon Musk’s DOGE have been doing with access to data within numerous government agencies.
……
An astonishing coincidence I’m sure.
