It's all about the customer(s): centricity, valuation, metrics, management. I teach this stuff at Wharton and bring it to life through Theta.
I was looking at old pictures of my daughter and saw
Superman on Penn's campus (Fall 1998). No, not the kid with the S shirt, but just to his left -- that face over Ben Franklin's shoulder is David Corenswet, who attended Penn in 2011-12. (Shayna is in the light green shirt to the right.)

New paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.da...) shows how a simple probability model (PM) outperforms a machine learning model (ML). PM is the old BG/NBD model -- the differences would be huge with CLV Ultra from Theta (thetaclv.com/clv-ultra/), which embeds key ML characteristics directly into the PM.

Folks here are (re)discovering some "oldie but goodie" posts from Twitter. For instance,
@fullydigitalfuture.bsky.social noticed this one about the Slack IPO from 2019. 18 months later, Salesforce bought it for almost exactly the amount we said it was worth. Nice to be reminded about good analyses!

Keep your eye on the @SlackHQ IPO later this week. The company has an unusually valuable customer base, which will lead to strong future revenues and thus high valuation. Read all about it from @ThetaEquity:...
