To us, this decision is yet another example of Uber’s continued unwillingness to be open, transparent, and direct... We are concerned that the company wil
- Did Uber investors actually lose money? Press is saying Uber investors lost money. Is that actually correct? I can't imagine late stage investors put money in without preferences so they get their money back. But maybe they were actually that dumb? At last, the house of cards begins to collapse...

- vote Elizabeth Holmes guilty / innocent of fraud? I kind of feel she’s been no worse to her private investors than tons of example in tech. Teal, Uber are all much bigger companies that have misled (in my opinion) investors. Tons of startups completely abandon products that they previously claimed were successful. How many vapor ware products hav
- Will there be another round of layoff at Lyft? Uber has two rounds of layoffs, and the stock is performing very nice. It shows better confidence from investors in the long-time being of Uber. Lyft might need do the same thing. The market is seeing Lyft is not doing aggressively enough for the rough time ahead.

That’s a far cry from the $120 billion that was floated as recently as December. Founders and early investors will still going to get spectacularly rich, bu

- Can Uber's fall cause a recession in the Bay Area? There is so much money, talent and hope invested in Uber. Could it's failing cause investors to panic, and the general mood in the Valley to descend to a level where the chain-reaction causes drying up of funding and cutting back on multiple levels?

- Participate in Uber and Lyft IPOs Is there a way for a retail, accredited investor to participate in Lyft and Uber IPOs i.e. buy the stock from the primary offering before it hits the public market? If so how do I do it? Do I need an account with a specific broker who's underwriting the IPO?
- If you were a CEO how would you handle mass layoffs? I’ve been pondering over this, assume you’re a CEO, and your primary objective is to look out for your business/company.

- vote Which is more evil, Uber or Lyft? Lyft appears to be a nicer guy, but from the ipo, it seems the same evil guy, or worse. 1) lyft ipoed at the highest possible price, making early investors exit with huge profits at the expense of everyone else. Uber at least lowed the ipo price and appears less greedy. 2) lyft’s driver award is un

- Uber regret: what’s it worth now? Props to Uber (and their investors), first of all. I dismissed Uber’s viability in 2009/2010 when 3 acquaintances joined the company right out of college in ops/bizdev/bizops roles. Hindsight is always 20/20 but I really regret not speaking to Uber back then when I had the chance. :/ The acquaint

There are more to this list, which I have probably missed. Does this mean investors want to cash out by this year or in the next few months? and does this mean a definite recession so
- What’s in Google’s mind about Uber and Lyft? Google was early investor of Uber, but had to deal with a lawsuit with it. So I am thinking, 1: Waymo’s recent investment in Lyft is to drag down Uber growth to give time for Waymo. 2: Waymo won’t buy Lyft, as it doesn’t need to. people’s curiosity of self driving and Google’s vast resources are

- vote Will DoorDash be the next Snowflake? Considering they have products like DoorDash Drive and new verticals outside of food, is it possible that they will increase in valuation by several times after the IPO?

- Capitalism to feudalism? May be feudalism is not the right word, but the issue I'm concerned about is this new trend of founders keeping total control of their companies with very little, if any, say for investors.
