Chances are you are actually sitting in one, right now.Officially the 'We Company' was founded in 2010 and VERY QUICKLY expanded to 836 locations (as of this writing), 15,000 employees, and over half a million members.It's the bright and classic startup Unicorn story. Except it isn't.In mid- 2019, the company filed the documentation to prepare for an IPO (Initial Public Offering), that is, to begin trading in the stock market. This required them to publish their so-far secret financials.Once the world had a look at their numbers, everyone quickly realized that the company founder and CEO, Adam Newman, had been selling smoke and mirrors. The company was not only far, far from being profitable, but Adam had been living an eccentric executive life that was costing the company millions.The CEO was ousted. The valuation of the company went from a shocking $75B to an estimated $8B or less, and SoftBank, their lead investor, is preparing to rescue/acquire/take control of the company to save it from oblivion.In this video, we are going to dig into the We Company story, their rise, and downfall, and of course, what lessons we can learn from them.This is a new series we call- Startup Forensics.#wework #startups 01:35 History of WeWork 04:31 Tech vs.Non-Tech Companies 07:42 The Downfall Want Caya to wear your Startup T-Shirt in the next video?

Yik Yak: a deadly combination | Sidebean
Yik Yak: a deadly combination► Start with the right foot. Let us design your pitch deck. : https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck ► Sign Up for Slidebean- 1 free months for the first 25 users: http://bit.ly/2KkRsltAnonymous messages and local context were the perfect mix to make the popular social network, YikYak, come to life in 2013. They were also the poison to kill it and to write on its tombstone the epitaph of: died too young and too soon.The social network devised by two young roommates at Furman University in South Carolina - yes, Facebook-style - went from popular to irrelevant. Brooks Buffington and Tyler Droll managed to sneak YikYak into the top 10 social media apps in the Apple App Store, shortly after its debut.The idea of expressing their thoughts, without showing their name and allowing other users to read it 2.4 kilometers around, conquered young people from hundreds of university campuses in the United States. The magic not only dazzled the students, but also the investors who, in three rounds, granted $73.5 million in venture capital to Buffington and Droll. Not bad, right?But it was a matter of time. Anonymity, which affects everything it touches, turned the social network into a catalog of cyberbullying and sexist, racist and hateful comments. Did the formula for disaster grow as the app did? How is it that a startup valued at $ 400 million could not stop its fall? The attempt was made, but unfortunately, it was too late.This is Startup Forensics: Yik Yak.#YikYak #Startups #Caya 1:34 Case introduction 3:40 More muscle than their competitors 4:41 When did the ship start sinking? 7:12 What happened to them?

This was a real question on one of our Company Forensics videos. For someone outside the startup ecosystem, the amounts of money these companies raise just seem obscene. Some companies (Uber, WeWork) raise BILLIONS. Even smaller companies deal with rounds in the millions of dollars, and valuations in the hundreds of millions. So why do investors pour so much money into these tech startups?

The wearable technology market was at the gates of booming and the product was promising. Hopes were high and the fever seemed to catch on.By the beginning of 2013, the products began shipping and by 2014, over 400 000 units were sold. By 2016, that number was already two million units.But it’s 2019 and, chances are, most people don’t know what a Pebble Watch is.Pebble smartwatch was ready to take the world by storm with its line of smartwatches.

How Mission Impossible killed MoviePass | Sidebean
How Mission Impossible killed MoviePassWhy MoviePass failed? This episode starts with a basic problem: people love going to the cinema but it’s very expensive. And, in order to solve this, one company wanted to disrupt an entire market. MoviePass tried to change the moviegoing experience altogether, with a simple idea. For a monthly fee, subscribers could go to the cinema once a day, every day. Cheap movies every day of the month? Sounds great, right? But, ironically, too many subscribers would eventually be a bad thing. MoviePass went from being a hit to entirely collapsing, in just THREE DAYS. How?

How Facebook killed MySpace | Sidebean
How Facebook killed MySpace ► Start with the right foot!

If you were a teenager in the early 2000s, you will remember that there was a site that transformed the concept of social network and became a Web 2.0 banner, in which people stopped, forever, from being passive subjects of information. It was MySpace, a platform founded in 2003 that freed users from creating a web page, to offer them in return, a profile to which they could print their personality, add friends, photos, music, and their favorite videos. Quickly, the social network founded by Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe showed its genuine musical vocation and it even became the platform that catapulted careers of bands like the Arctic Monkeys. The News Corp company, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch sniffed the success and decided to buy MySpace in 2005 for $580MM. Although six years later he would sell it for only $35MM. On its way to success, the site surpassed platforms like Google and Yahoo in traffic and attracted five million new members every month. However, the lack of evolution and vision of its new owners (because it changed hands several times) allowed other competitors to arrive and snatch its reign, turning it into a ghost town that, believe it or not, exists or subsists, until the date.

The North Face: from Bankruptcy to Brand Success | Sidebean
The North Face: from Bankruptcy to Brand SuccessIn this episode of Company Forensics, we’ll talk about one of the coolest clothing brands in the world: The North Face. It seems like the brand has existed for decades and that their high-end products last forever. And this is true. But The North Face has had a rocky history of successes and failures. The brand faced bankruptcy several times and, at one point, was rescued as part of a very, VERY cheap merger. Since then, The North Face has slowly risen to the top, where it stands today.

The fundraising process for a startup requires a crash course on some terminology that you've probably never heard of. There's no evil corporation making it confusing on purpose, you know, like banks and credit cards. This is just a complex topic that requires an understanding of some legal and financial terminology. When companies have such vast potential, and when you deal with such large sums of money, everyone wants protection to make sure their time or their cash investments are safe.
