Startups like Nutanix, Cloudera which were once the best places to work for have had IPOs. They neither have the growth rate nor much revenue. Would they cease business in a couple of years or how do they move ahead ? @Nutanix @Cloudera
M&A
Survive or wait for acquire? It's hard for them to keep talented people because of upcoming slowdown and politics, also hard to spare effort improving tech infra because of business pressure.
Most of them were in it to reap the IPO lottery. There is rarely anything of so much value in these companies.
They were definitely in to reap the IPO lottery but I can't say that they don't have any value in them. Uber and Lyft have a lot of value in them, nutanix definitely has value, cloudera may also have some value but not sure about them.
Collision course with x axis.
Can confirm - once you go public, it’s either wait to get acquired or die. Example: we removed ‘passion’ from our core values after going public.
Past their sell-by date
