We revisit investing legends through Sender Cohen’s comparison of George Soros and Stan Druckenmiller, explore post-acquisition realities inside Big Tech with Noam Bardin’s unfiltered reflections on Google, and unpack how companies like Fiverr and Wix reinvent perception and scale by building boldly for their next ten million users.
