I believe Eric Vishria is the best Series A board member of this generation. I've learned more from him about it what it means to be a great CEO over the last 10 years than anyone …

Drew was the original inspiration for me to get into startups. He was a few years ahead of me at MIT and did MIT's Battlecode competition as well. He introduced me to Hacker News, …

I love the launch! Automated observability that feeds back into the product development process is the future of this category vs having to spend a lot of time configuring and mana…

Chase- thank you for what you've done in creating Watsi to impact 33,000 lives! It also made me believe in the potential for non profits to create a positive impact again.

Generative Engine Optimization. Probably needs a better name. We go back and forth between that and AI Visibility.

SaaS is Dead, Long Live SaaS This started as an analysis of Andrej Karpathy's excellent overview of AI's capabilities: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1979644538185752935 "Ghosts" is…

Norman Borlaug's story is amazing. He brought modern farming practices to Mexico and created a new strain of high yield disease resistant dwarf wheat at quadrupled wheat production…

Being a farmer was worse!

Congrats to you both!! Paras- you guys were always one of the ones we looked up to when starting Amplitude way back in 2012.

That's too bad that the TC article read that way. They returned more money to investors than what was put in, which puts them in the top ~20% for acquisitions of this scale. The cr…

The current plan is to port all existing functionality to Amplitude's platform as quickly as possible. We'll then migrate everyone over in a way that doesn't break existing functio…

I share your skepticism of B2B companies making claims of being AI driven! Most stuff I see is a thin wrapper around an existing workflow where the AI isn't adding any meaningful f…

Amplitude CEO here. To clear a few things up: The number that was reported in term sheet / pro rata did not include any stock, which was a big part of this deal. The total consider…

Wow- a lot of similarity to what's important with analytics today! Depth of analytics and speed of queries were their key competitive differentiators. Those are still ones we hamme…

Public company CEO here. One of my rules that has served me well is "don't ever be on the other side of a transaction from private equity". They have blatantly anticompetitive play…

Wow, really cool! Could you apply this to the behavior dataset that we have at Amplitude? I'd love to talk more.

I am thinking about this problem at Amplitude. The holy grail of the martech space has always been to predict someone's next action based on what they've done before. What's exciti…

We’re working on it! Free up to 10M events, more to come later this year. What would reasonably costed look like to you? More on my view on real-time analytics here: https://news.y…

Ferruccio and Enzo- congratulations on the launch of June! I've been very impressed by what you've built with June. I love that you've gone deep with the B2B use case- I think ther…

I'd love for you to add Amplitude (amplitude.com) to your guide. Ensuring we have the same easy out of the box experience GA does is a top priority for us this year. Let me know ho…

Glad to hear you’ve been happy with Amplitude. We’ve been doing a lot RE helping customers federate data to data lakes/warehouses. If I can ask- what data lake you using and what d…

They have our Twitter handle! We gotta fight them to the death for the namespace- there can only be one. In all seriousness I love them although haven't had time to play any since …

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's not ideal today, particularly for companies in your situation. The problem is we're applying the same GTM motion across everything. It works ver…

Yes- this is the wave we're riding at Amplitude! The revenue center in companies is changing from sales and marketing to the product organization. That's where all your customers a…
