*Very* interesting #story about how a #startup was killed after getting large #vc #funding https://old.reddit.com/r/startups/commen.. I think the point is - don't deviate too far from your winning formula, especially because people who don't understand your success tell you to do so. I can very much see why more #funding than you need can kill your #startup / #company . The vast majority of #successful companies never recieved a single penny to #startup .
It appears that #wework is on the way down, currently #trading at 50 #cents after once being worth $50 #billion #dollars https://www.businessinsider.com/wework-s.. It's probably one of the earlier #startups to #fail in the #startup #bubble . Watch this space more more #startups to #fail !
#twitter not out of the woods yet - it appears they are back in " #startup mode": https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/twitte.. Failing to pay their #rent is an interesting update... Unless #elonmusk can find #profit quickly I suspect #twitter will collapse under its own weight.
A very interesting story about somebody being #interviewed by the #infamous #elizabethholmes - ex- #ceo of #theranos - the #bullshit #medical #startup https://twitter.com/jonwu_/status/143359.. I wonder who I've met today or will meet tomorrow who has a similar story lurking behind them? Perhaps one day I could have such a crazy story lurking behind me? A strange old world we live in.
