To renew, replace, or cut - that is the question. If you’re growing fast, it’s likely the tools you’re using need to change. It comes down to identifying whether the switch is an actual need or a perceived one.

5 tried and tested strategies for growth. You’ve likely heard of them before, but this is a nice reminder to audit your startup to see if you’re working towards any of them currently. Growth is architected, not accidental.

Despite being hit hard by customers cutting back on marketing and sales spend, Zoominfo is still insanely profitable, forecasting $500m net income on $1.3bn. All whilst being a sales-led organization. Here’s a breakdown of the headwinds they face and how they’re adapting.

🏭Business Nuts 

“The Marvels” generated an estimated $47 million domestically over its debut weekend, the lowest in franchise history. Initial predictions saw the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film opening to between $75 million and $80 million domestically. The only MCU films that have opened lower than $60 million have been 2015′s “Ant-Man” and 2008′s “Incredible Hulk.” Disney and Marvel Studios have struggled to reconnect with audiences in the post-“Endgame” era.

Billionaire investor Ron Baron told CNBC on Friday that he expects SpaceX to IPO its Starlink satellite internet service “in 2027 or so.” Baron is a major backer of Elon Musk’s companies. SpaceX leadership, including Musk, have discussed spinning off Starlink to take it public through an initial public offering once the business was “in a smooth sailing situation.”

📱Tech Nuts

A Gmail user recently spotted a new quick reply bar feature in the mobile app. The bar allows for a one-line input and has a dropdown box above it that allows users to pick who to send the reply to.

🎁Miscellaneous

Researchers have developed AI-based approaches for shifting through genomes to identify genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The combination of genomics, brain imaging, and AI allows researchers to find indicators that are tightly linked to a genomic driver. Scientists have had access to massive research databases for decades, but sifting through this data has proven to be a challenge. AI is able to sort through and learn from the data more efficiently and produce consistent results. If the approach works, it could also be applied to other diseases that have a physical presentation in brain imaging.
