What does Zoom even do again? Lol. Surprised to see that it's doing better than Pinterest today. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/18/zoom-is-worth-more-than-pinterest-after-their-ipos.html
Zoom is killing Cisco WebEx at video conferencing. It's a gigantic market.
Zoom is profitable already and its user growth is growing fast. That is why it is valued more than Pinterest despite less brand recognition and half of revenue. B2B is lucrative and long lasting business as opposed to consumer business. Pinterest cannot survive with Pinterest alone as people will eventually lose the interest. Look how quickly gaming industry changes and MySpace as examples.
People's interest doesn't stay pinned, eh?
B2B is only lucrative if there's a lock-in. Switching video conferencing is easy.
You can lol all you want but if people actually pulled their heads out of their ass on blind and actually followed companies that weren't insanely unprofitable and over hyped youd see that zoom actually has a business model that makes sense and makes money. Usually a recipe for a successful IPO... So everyone else can go continue to chase the highest TC at you can find at your neighborhood over valued decacorn while you have people who just made a killing for joining a company with a good product and were willing to put in the work. Shocking! Good for them.
Just to burst your bubble OP, if you use slack, starting a zoom meeting is as simple as typing zoom on chat. It’s all about convenience and ease of use. WebEx sucks in that regards and makes remote meetings a nightmare. I’ve used both and zoom tops for me
Agreed, I miss zoom and slack since joining amazon 😢
Amazon uses an internal thing for video conferencing right? How's that
Shows OP knowledge of things or the lack of it.
Why don't you create a nice visual of OP's knowledge while the adults have a real chat?
We use chime btw
Zoom is profitable because they use cheap engineering in China. Product is decent but the overhead is lower than US engineering resources
This
This but at the end what matters is that company is profitable, has a pretty good offering and people in enterprise actually love it. If you are able to build high quality product from cheap but quality of engineering talent abroad , I would be worried about our future and ridiculously highly TC. They might not last long. Zoom does have most of its engineering in China but do hire in the Valley as well. Their have their expenses in control as well.
They help with phone screening lol
Zoom does web cloud video conferencing.
