Tencent and Epic Games made almost $300m on Fortnite in April
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
More than
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
40m
</a>
people have played
<em>
Fortnite: Battle Royale
</em>
since its release in 2017, and, according to digital game sales tracker SuperData Research, the game raked in
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$296m
</a>
across mobile, console, and PC platforms… in the month of April alone.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
<em>
Holy Fortnite, Batman.
</em>
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
<em>
Fortnite
</em>
doubled in April what it generated in the
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
month of February
</a>
, putting it on track to become a billion-dollar game in its first year.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Fortnite for the layman…
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
<em>
Fortnite
</em>
is a “sandbox survival game” developed by Epic Games described, according to Epic’s founder Tim Sweeney, as “
<em>
Minecraft
</em>
meets
<em>
Left 4 Dead.
</em>
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Not
<em>
layman
</em>
-enough? Essentially, you run around building defensive positions (AKA “forts”) and killing people king-of-the-hill style until there’s one player left standing.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
People
<em>
really
</em>
like to play it -- and apparently, watch it (a recent tournament had over
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
42m
</a>
live views, and it recently surpassed Minecraft’s run as the
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
most watched
</a>
game on YouTube).
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Pays to be free
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The game runs on a free-to-play model, but don’t worry, they make up the money they lose (and then some) with in-game purchases.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
One of their main
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
breadwinners
</a>
is a $10 per 10-week subscription called Battle Pass that lets players unlock anything from in-game dance moves to goofy yet coveted character costumes (like the popular
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
John Wick skin
</a>
that lets players look like Keanu Reeves in their digital existence).
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
And sales continue to climb: The game reportedly makes more than $1m a day on mobile alone, and they haven’t even released an Android version yet (expected
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
this summer
</a>
).
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
According to SuperData, the whole gaming industry is booming: Players spent almost
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$9.1B
</a>
on digital games across platforms in April, up from $7.4B in the previous year -- making Fortnite a standout in a high-scoring industry.

<strong>
Patreon has acquired a startup called Kit that will help the ‘talent’ sell their merch
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
According to Patreon’s VP of product, Wyatt Jenkins, “over
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
60%
</a>
of today’s Patreon creators either want to or already deliver some kind of physical merchandise.” And, up until now, the creators have had to lick envelopes and tape boxes themselves.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
That’s why yesterday, Patreon, the digital artist commune looking to put money in the hands of its “creators,”
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
announced
</a>
they are acquiring New York-based Kit, a startup that started in product reviews and has recently pivoted into merchandise logistics.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Let the creators ‘
</strong>
<em>
<strong>
create,’
</strong>
</em>
<strong>
people!
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
With Kit, Patreon promises a “simple” automated merchandising solution that will keep the talent from folding graphic tees and keeping the books, so they can focus on...
<em>
the craft
</em>
.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Patreon first started working on their merch service last December and, according to
<em>
TechCrunch,
</em>
began talking with Kit around the same time the company was pivoting (which ultimately led to the acquisition).
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Sounds like a match made in merch-table heaven
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
While the terms of the deal were not released, Jenkins told
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
<em>
Crunchbase
</em>
</a>
that both parties were “stoked.”
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The company currently takes a 5% cut of whatever each creator makes (WAY better than YouTube’s
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
45%
</a>
), but it’s unclear how Patreon will profit from the future merch sales.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
According to Jenkins, Patreon currently has 100k creators, supported by 2m individuals with paid memberships, and is on track to pay out $300m to its creators this year -- that’s almost the total of what they have paid their creators in the first 5 years since they started.

<strong>
Vanilla volatility caused a shortage of ice cream and a surplus of organized crime
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
According to a
<em>
Financial Times
</em>
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
report
</a>
, strong demand and limited supply bumped vanilla prices from $20/kg 5 years ago to more than $600 -- making the crop more valuable than silver.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The boom is making vanilla-flavored fortunes for some farmers, and even more for those on the wrong side of the law.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
A big bean boom
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Vanilla’s labor-intensive harvesting process makes it the 2nd-priciest spice (after saffron, which can sell for up to
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$10k
</a>
per pound). In Madagascar, where 80% of vanilla is grown (and the average annual per capita income is $400), vanilla vines can yield $8k or more.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But it’s not all milkshakes and cupcakes out there... Farmers typically only receive 5-10% of the vanilla value.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
The rest of that sweet bean green goes to ‘vanilla barons’
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Much of the crop money ends up in the hands of middlemen, thieves, smugglers, and money launderers who exploit the lack of vanilla security.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
And, alas, when prices inevitably drop, farmers who quit their day jobs to pursue vanilla dreams will be left with nothing. So, thanks to vanilla-villains, both farmers and consumers lose.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Nestle increased the price of all its vanilla-based ice cream by
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
2.5%
</a>
in response to the shortage -- and other brands will likely be forced to follow scoop -- sorry,
<em>
suit

Cracking down on crypto crime, the SEC presses the Szczepanik button
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
You can call her Commander Crypto: To protect investors from crypto criminals, the SEC
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
appointed
</a>
Valerie Szczepanik as its first-ever digital currency specialist.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
You should probably learn to pronounce her name --
<em>
‘Skuh-panic’

-- because you’ll be hearing it a lot.

</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The only thing with more letters than Szczepanik’s last name is her CV: Including a JD from Georgetown, a BS in engineering from UPenn, and a half dozen leadership positions at the SEC.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But, to tackle a global cybercrime industry expected to hit
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$6T
</a>
by 2021, she’s going to need to use every consonant she’s got.

<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
She’s the right woman for the job… but that won’t make it easy
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
In the past few months, the SEC has made it clear that it wants to regulate digital currencies and exchanges -- once it figures out how they work.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Szczepanik will be in charge of that process -- and on the front lines of the fight to control something that the SEC can
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
hardly
</a>
classify.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
But the the bull market for digital currencies will
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
fight
</a>
back against the SEC’s wrangling attempts. With more than
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
$1.3B
</a>
in venture capital (and another $4.5B raised in ICOs), the cryptocurrency is a well-funded opponent for Szczepanik and her team of crypto-wrangling crusaders.

<strong>
Adam’s Miracle*
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
*This is a true story. We promise.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Standing 6’1” at 230 lbs, our fearless sales leader, Adam, is (predictably) tough to dress.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
A narrow waist and square shoulders mean tuxes and suits from chain retailers fit one of 2 ways: the monk robe or the corset.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
And with his wedding approaching, Adam figured he’d either be stuck wearing a polyester garbage bag on the biggest day of his life… or shell out a grand for something he’d only wear once.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">
<strong>
Luckily he found
</strong>
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
<strong>
The Black Tux
</strong>
</a>
</h4>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
After finding no luck in the warehouse stores, a friend of Adam’s recommended The Black Tux. Adam took a shot.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Best. Decision. Ever.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The Black Tux’s latest suits fuse modern stylings with a tailored fit for every body type, so our hero Adam found a suit that fit just right and made him look like a million bucks. Here’s a
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
slightly blurry photo
</a>
of him as proof.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
The Black Tux was so convenient, Adam used it to get suits for all of his groomsmen -- 8 people coming from 9 states. Delivery and returns are done by mail, with
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
order tracking
</a>
so, according to Adam, he could “stay on top of his bum friends.”
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
And with
<a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
20+ showroom locations
</a>
, Adam and his groomsmen could see the suits for themselves before the big day.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Adam was so impressed, he’s rented suits for other friend’s weddings and parties. He’s even got the soon-to-be married couples in the Austin office renting from The Black Tux.
</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
Live happily ever after with a great fitting tux at a wallet-approved price.
