Good morning! Later this week, we’ll send out the 500th edition of the Sunday newsletter. A single email I sent to 20 friends in March 2015 kicked off the whole thing that became Exponential View. Initially, I called it Square 33 – in the chessboard-rice analogy of exponential growth, the first half of the chessboard (the first 32 squares) involves relatively modest numbers that don’t feel world-changing. But crossing into the 33rd square marks the beginning of numbers that seem staggering and incomprehensible.

I’m reflecting this week on the lessons I learnt along the way. I’ll send a personal note to all members on Saturday. And in the meantime, I want to hear from you:

  • What did you learn from reading Exponential View?

  • If Exponential View helped you in your thinking and work, tell us about it.

  • If you met a co-founder, investor or a new friend through our network, please share the story. 

  • And if you’re a new member, tell us what brought you to Exponential View.

Thank you for being an impor…
