Snowflake debuted on the Nasdaq in the biggest software IPO in history. Berkshire Hathaway, Salesforce, and a few lucky early investors have made billions on the listing. Loup Ventures’ Doug Clinton explains the hype and the hope surrounding this still unprofitable cloud company. Peter Wagner, a venture capitalist who got in on the ground floor, explains why a bet on Snowflake is a bet on data. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel shares the drugmakers approach to safety and protocol in the race for a Covid vaccine. Plus, a healthy debate about crony capitalism, and a craving for Krispy Kreme.
