    Key startup takeaway from the Oscars ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ก
    The big winner of the 89thย Academy Awards was La La Land, taking home 6 Oscars, and briefly winning Best Picture (there was a mixup). That honor ended up going to Moonlight, a deserving winner.

    What you can learn from Moonlight's win: It is absolutely critical to name your startup after cross-platform emoji. Think of: ๐Ÿ ๐ŸŽ‰,ย ๐Ÿ‘,ย ๐Ÿ‘ป, ๐Ÿ,ย ๐Ÿง€ โ€”ย these are all app names you can communicate with simple emoji on iOS, Android, Twitter, and Gmail. As such, congrats to all those involved with theย ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ก win. Honorable mention to ๐Ÿฆ and ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐ŸŒ.ย 

    Now, get started with a productive week by browsing some of these:
