Love this idea. And congrats Alex - CB Insights Mafia!

Things that I think folks (aka me) would find interesting:

1. Impressions/views on tech markets (what they're entering, their views on growth of markets, etc)

2. Views on competition esp if they talk isht

3. Quotes with data. Because some of these products by tech cos are opaque with stats, if execs drop a figure about growth, that's valuable.

4. Over time, it'd be cool if you could see what products execs talk about in their public comments as that might give an indication of what they're focused on. Suspect they might not talk a lot about specific products so perhaps wishful thinking.

IMO, personally, I think quotes on politics are boring mainly cuz that doesn't give insight into the biz and cuz politics is already everywhere.

Enjoying the emails so far and look forward to seeing where Oversaid goes

Congrats again.

Thanks Anand!

Love idea #3, I'll have to dig in and see if there's enough of that. Might be info that's in the article and not in the quote itself.

I'm excited to get into #4 as I go through historical sources and extract old quotes.

For #3, you may want to include guest engineering blog posts shared to highscalability [1]. There are sometimes growth hints and stats included in the posts.
