Thank you so much to everyone who helped us think through our re-name of TOPP Labs yesterday. Your feedback and insights were absolutely invaluable to our process. After a long night and day of deliberations, we've settled on our new name. Drumroll please... (and this is obviously unnecessary since it's in the title of the post) Civic Works T-shirt goes to fkh for the winning suggestion. Thanks Frank! Hat tip to Peter for getting close, with "Civic Code Werkz" and "Civic Alpha Werkz." And I already gave a t-shirt to Noel for finding a way to make "The AWESOME" work as an acronym. I'm sure someone will find another use for that one someday. I'm very excited about the new name, as it definitely embodies what we're doing and why we're doing it. We clearly wanted to include the term "civic," and I really like that "works" has the triple meaning of "the place where things get made," "the things that get made" and stuff that "just works." It evokes the public realm and public service, and gets you excited to go out and make something. It's a factory for new ideas, and the foundation for a new civic infrastructure. Civic Works

The Slow Hunch by Nick GrossmanThe Internet's Next Business Model: A Conversation with Cloudflare's Matthew Prince
I just released a new episode of The Slow Hunch with Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare. Since we invested in their Series C back in 2013, I've watched Matthew and his team build one of the most critical pieces of internet infrastructure—protecting and accelerating vast portions of global web traffic. Our conversation traces Matthew's journey from his early "slow hunch" that the internet was fundamentally broken and needed fixing. We start with his law school days in 2000, when ...
