What do you do for Thanksgiving? Would love to see you. I would like your advice on my future career which you are helping me to shape since 2011. I hope you could take time to read my thoughts along the long and not easy way to become a lawyer or smth else.. I feel rather lost here in San Francisco, competing with top VC principals who have network and skills to find the best startups and attract investors to be LPs. I started I month ago to help Moshe Drokova with her businesses. I have not found any startups she wants to invest in but am better with PR. her other business. I enjoy the entire process and leamings I get in this new for me industry. I love having such a live successful example ofan entrepreneur close to me - Moshe D. However, it is not aligned with my 7 years of legal education, French Bar exam. 3 legal Master degrees including Berkeley LLM. Now the question is to either try to succeed the Bar in February 2018, then find a law firm which will sponsor my visa and work next 5-10 years in USA as a lawyer. Or to continue being in the new industry which is VC, to learn fmm Mat business skills, and do smth completely different from law and from smth where I fully invested 7 years. Tell me your thoughts...question is a lot about having 6-10 months without work (prepare for Bar, wait results, get a job) or work on the opportunity Masha gave me. make money and make the most out of it. It is just between us, what I am confused now with. Please don't share Hugs On Nov 2, 2017 1:07 AM. > wrote: Dear Jeffrey, How are you doing? Cheers from Zurich.

We are using a partner. Standard Cognition. who use a proprietary machine vision camera system to detect people and products In order to automate the checkout process. - The am is to create an experience where consumers want to come every day. not Just to shop but to get added benefits through other services we provide. such as a work space, a sale place to meet people. pick-up dry cleaning. wan for Uber. common space everyone can use.

Eradicating the margin model gives us a stable and predclable revenue flow. we're able to more price competitive and provides consumers a better experience. - We're using a data first approach to product selection. the store will be highly curetted where products wa be chosen based on highly localised data. with specific areas in the store changing every week based on data. these will be the Spotlights' and will encourage discovery of new brands. There is a huge emphasis on given local brands a chance to penetrate into physical retail space and further blending technology with culture/community. - The data fest approach also gives us a massive opportunitywith out suppliers. to provide a a huge pool of anonymeed data and granular buying behaviours on an e-oommerce level that badisonai brick and mortar doesn't provide.
