☆ Instagram is adding comments to Stories, pulling users out of their DMs and back in front of advertisers
  + stars: | 2024-09-03 | by ( Amanda Perelli | Shriya Bhattacharya | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Read previewA new feature for Instagram's Stories encourages community — the company just doesn't want this activity happening in closed groups away from advertisers. The social-media behemoth is launching a new tool that lets users leave comments under their followers' Stories. Only followers can see these comments, and only the people a user follows back can leave a comment. AdvertisementOne consequence of users spending more time in Instagram DMs is that there are fewer eyeballs for advertisers to target through Meta's powerful marketing platform. If this feature can successfully encourage users to start conversations within a Story instead of in DMs, they'll be more likely to keep swiping through Stories that show ads (a win for Instagram).

☆ 'No one can blame you for backing Sequoia': It's a rough time to be raising as a solo venture capitalist in Europe
  + stars: | 2023-09-19 | by ( Callum Burroughs | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Europe, often a few years behind when it comes to startup trends, is also starting to produce its own solo GPs. After a record-breaking 2021, bigger VC funds in Europe have generally found it more challenging to raise their next funds. Lots of fund managers speak to everyone and waste lots of time going over unqualified leads," she said. In short, knowing who to pitch for investment is crucial when looking to raise funds. One advantage for solo funds in Europe is that smaller funds — often $15 million to $20 million — are easier to return than larger funds, said David Cruz e Silva, an angel investor and LP in smaller VC funds through EU.VC.

Instagram's new app, Threads, has dominated the discourse around Meta since its July 5 launch. With the launch of Threads, Instagram and its top executive, Adam Mosseri, have been enjoying the limelight. Mark Zuckerberg was "by far the most convicted" about launching Threads as a separate app, Mosseri said on the podcast. "But, the thing is, we're not a messaging app," Mosseri noted. Mosseri has a bias for simplicity and said he recognizes that the Instagram app is overrun with too many features.
