Week 5, September 21 – Weekly Wrap Up

1.) Warby’s New View
2.) Wizards of Ozy
3.) No Insta Kids
4.) Streaming Showdown

 

1.) Warby’s New View: another IPO by NYC based Warby Parker! Went up 30%! A fantastic debut for a long known startup darling. And the real reason we mention it is that WP was founded in 2010. Never forget in tech land, like a fine wine, these things take time

2.) The Wizards of Ozy: stole this from Dan Primack but it was a great headline. Buzzy Ozy Media *seemingly* fudged their traffic numbers, *might* have committed fraud in a due diligence call with Goldman Sachs, *could* have had a toxic workplace, and then shut down after they lost investor and public confidence. A wild ~10 day saga!!

3.) No Insta Kids: The continued fallout over the Facebook Files resulted in FB halting development of a previously planned launch of an Instagram app for kids. Then, over the weekend, the whistleblower announced herself as former FB Product Manager Frances Haugen

4.) Streaming Showdown: YouTubeTV told customers they were about to lose out on their NBC access by EOD Sept 30th because it’s all about that contract money! But, like the debt ceiling, these things always get resolved and we’ll live to watch NBC on YouTubeTV another day
