Week 1, Jan 21 – Weekly Wrap Up
1.) Where is Jack Ma?
2.) Google Union
3.) Multiple Financing Paths
4.) Crisis at the Capitol
Where is Jack Ma?: one of the richest men in the world and famed Chinese internet entrepreneur hasn’t been seen in 2+ months after a couple run ins with the CCP. Or maybe he’s laying low? Either way, sure seems like a great place to do business!
Google Union: ~500 of 260,000+ employees have unionized at that internet company based out of Mountainview. We’ll check back in if or when this thing gains more traction
Multiple Financing Paths: Roblox, after dialing back their IPO, is going with a direct listing after raising $520M in private capital. SoFi is getting SPAC’d by Chamath with additional $$ from T Rowe Price. Companies get to name their price, pick their investors, and lower their fees. Middlemen of Wall St you getting played!
Crisis at the Capitol: what an absolutely insane day on Wed. We talking about politics? Politics? How about America? Can’t turn the page on 45 fast enough. Be gone and fade away into irrelevance
Have a great weekend everybody!
