Carolina Ulloa es Emprendedora, Fundadora de We Company, adonde realiza consultoría en mercadeo digital, transformación digital y lead generation. En esta charla conversamos con Caro sobre su propósito, el que la nutre y con el que está comprometida. Su guía la llevó, cuan nómada digital, a mudarse a vivir a Jacó y a trabajar desde allá o viajar algunos días a San José, para cumplir con sus clientes, como es el caso de la Federación Costarricense de Fútbol. Allí su trabajo ha sido puesto al ojo público y sobre esta presión y cómo lo ha sobrellevado también conversamos. Con la salud mental no se juega. Caro me abrió su corazón y desde su vulnerabilidad comparte sobre sus problemas de ansiedad, en ocasiones incapacitantes, pero también nos cuenta cómo el surf la ha ayudado a sobrellevarlo para ayudar a otros que, como ella, necesitan salir del "burn out" para sanar.

As the saying goes, in America everyone is entitled to a second chance — especially con artists. Herewith the 6 rules for getting a second (or third or fourth) chance to sell a giant con:1. Market a mundane idea as “disruptive.” Adam Neumann, the founder of WeWork, hyped his office-sharing startup as the first “physical social network.” In reality it was nothing more than what you'd find in any coffee shop with customers at their laptops, but Neumann made it sound so revolutionary — “disruptive,” to use the high falutin con word — that JPMorgan, SoftBank, and other investors sank hundreds of millions into his company. At its height it was valued at some $47 billion.2. Pocket the money. Neumann used some of his investors' money to buy buildings that he then leased back to WeWork. He also borrowed against his own stake in the company. And he was going to charge WeWork almost $6 million to use his trademark of the word “We” after the company rebranded itself the “We Company.” He lived like a mogul, with his own jet and penthouse apartments. WeWork never made a nickel of profit. The prospectus for its initial public offering was widely ridiculed as incoherent. After Neumann was forced to disclose his personal conflicts of interest, the IPO fell apart and the company's estimated value plummeted from $47 billion to about $4 billion (after being rescued by SoftBank).3. Make sure your investors have their own investors, so they'll want to salvage whatever they can and won't sue you. Neumann wasn't convicted of criminal fraud. His early investors didn't want to sue him because they wanted to salvage whatever of their investment they could, and didn't want to admit to their own investors that they'd been conned. In fact, they paid Neumann over $1 billion to exit the board and give up his voting rights. Neumann collected another $185 million in consulting fees from WeWork. Meanwhile, other WeWork employees were left holding near-worthless stock options and thousands were laid off.4. Do the same thing again. Neumann has just launched a new company called Flow, which he says will “transform” the residential rental real estate market with reliable services and “community” features (he used the term “community” a lot with WeWork, too). What about Neumann's previous con? It's been forgotten. “Flow” has already attracted $350 million of financing from the venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz — the largest check it's ever written in a round of funding a company. Andreesen values Flow at more than $1 billion before Neumann has even opened its doors. Last week, Marc Andreesen explained in a blog post on his firm's website that the rental real estate market is “ripe for disruption,” especially now that so many people are working from home and “will experience much less, if any, of the in-office social bonding and friendships that local workers enjoy.” If this sounds a lot like the language Neumann employed to hype WeWork, that's no accident. It worked once, so why not again? As Andreesen wrote, “we love seeing repeat-founders build on past successes by growing from lessons learned,” and that for Neumann “the successes and lessons are plenty.”5. Never admit fault or defeat. Adam Neumann's con is small change compared to Donald Trump's — who has also managed to fail upward but far more spectacularly. The master con artist has defrauded customers, renters, students, hoteliers, contractors, and, finally, American voters. He never admits defeat. Trump has leveraged every fraud into an even bigger fraud. As he infamously claimed, he could shoot someone in the center of Fifth Avenue and get away with it. Trump “disrupted” American democracy with his Big Lie and attempted coup. Now, it seems, he's about to seek a second chance at the presidency.6. Don't be poor or Black or brown. Not everyone in America gets a second chance. This is especially true of people who are poor or of color, particularly those convicted of crimes without jury trials through plea-bargains with prosecutors (who threaten worse penalties if they won't plead guilty). An estimated 5.2 million Americans couldn't vote in the last presidential election because of felony “convictions,” including one in every 13 Black adults, according to the Sentencing Project. Last Thursday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis touted the arrests of 20 people on charges of “voter fraud,” who had voted in 2020 but had been convicted of crimes for which Florida made them ineligible to vote. (Many said they would not have voted had they known they were ineligible.)Many millions more can't get jobs because employers don't want to consider people who have broken the law. (Unlike Marc Andreesen, most employers don't “love seeing people grow from lessons learned.”) Although some states and localities now prohibit employers and landlords from considering conviction or arrest records in their initial screening of applicants, it's still the case that one big mistake on the part of someone who's poor or of color can end their careers and perhaps their freedom.But if you're not poor or a person of color, you can get away with the giant cons Adam Neumann and Donald Trump have gotten away with. Just follow the steps enumerated above. Hell, you might even become President. This is a public episode.

Neben allen Innovations-Metropolen ist und bleibt San Francisco eine der wichtigsten Städte für technologische Weiterentwicklung und neue Geschäftsmodelle.

Join the Acquired Limited Partner program! https://glow.fm/acquired/ (works best on mobile)   It’s an IPO, it’s a bailout, it’s an... acquisition? We’re joined by the one and only Dan Primack from Axios to recount the epic saga of the We Company in all its tragic glory. How did this business somehow go from chopping up commercial real estate to elevating global consciousness to rewarding its ousted CEO with a $1.7B “platinum parachute”, all while the company can’t afford severance for thousands of soon-to-be laid-off employees? Where did it all go wrong? And most importantly, who gets the Gulfstream G650??   Sponsor:  Thanks to Silicon Valley Bank for sponsoring all of Acquired Season 5.

Neste Innovation Talk, abordamos os principais desafios de gerir uma empresa de cowork, num debate com Gustavo Brito, do LACS, Miguel Fontes, da Startup Lisboa, José Pedro Pinto, do Sítio, e Hugo Filipe Molha da My Auchan.Este debate foi realizado após a apresentação pública do estudo da FABERNOVEL sobre a WeWork, que decorreu no dia 15 de Outubro de 2019, no ISEG.Um estudo GAFAnomics a que demos o nome "The We Company: is real estate a disruptable industry?" e onde explicamos como:A WeWork abanou o mercado do coworking, definindo novos padrões em termos de design e de experiênciaComo criou uma marca forte junto de todos os seus membros.Como surfou a onda das empresas tecnológicas para conseguir captar 14 mil milhões de dólares, maioritariamente do fundo de investimento Vision Fund da Softbank.Quais as dificuldades de escalar o negócio e os riscos que assumiu.E como o adiamento da anunciada entrada em bolsa, foi, talvez a melhor coisa que aconteceu à WeWork para poder reestruturar o negócio e criar um modelo de negócio mais sustentável e escalável.

Big Ones Who can remember anything like the We Company (that’s WeWork) saga that’s unfolded over the past fortnight? It had been targeting $3bn to $4bn in an IPO that at one time was expected to exceed the $47bn valuation at which it last raised money. Then people started flagging up bits of the IPO … Continue reading "30 September 2019 – Peloton Interactive Raises $1.16bn in IPO"

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week Kate and Alex were back at TechCrunch’s San Francisco HQ to huddle over the weeks' biggest news story: WeWork's infamous CEO exiting his role. Adam Neumann is now merely the non-executive chairman of The We Company, a firm that he helped found and led the public story for over the last half-decade.His exit comes after a number of revelations made his tenure at the highly-valued WeWork appear chaotic and self-dealing. After WeWork's valuation tumbled as it raced towards a financially-critical IPO, something had to give. The firm tried to ameliorate investors with changes (read: improvements) to its corporate governance but that wasn't enough. Snakes don't rot from the tail, and WeWork needed new leadership, which it got the form of co-CEOs.WeWork is now led by Sebastian Gunningham and Artie Minson, seasoned executives with stints at Amazon and Time Warner Cable, respectively. They've been charged with leading the company into an era of maturity, cost-cutting and maybe even profitability! But probably not. Anyway, we think there are a whole lot of parallels to draw between Uber and WeWork, as we've made clear in the past.Kate and Alex also touched on corporate governance, especially regarding super-voting stock. The TL;DR: private company boards look and operate much differently than public company boards. More often than not, startup boards are made up of venture capitalists focused on protecting their equity and future returns. It's a dog-eat-dog world, folks.Wapping, it seems likely that WeWork will look to secure new cash in the short-term as it buttons up its business, divests or kills off non-performing assets (remember this?), and looks to temper both its growth-rate and losses. If that will be enough to allow the company to float in 2020 (2019 seems unlikely) isn't clear.Icarus.We're back Friday morning with our regular episode and a guest. Stay tuned!

Big Ones We have a lot of IPO news for you this week but let’s talk about We Company for a moment, because no other company has had quite as tough a time of trying to go public (not even Uber’s failure to reach the IPO price for weeks after going public comes close). Really, … Continue reading "23 September 2019 – We Company IPO Issues Ongoing + Telecoms Sector Webinar"

With well over a decade of experience in the mobility industry, Sei Ishikawa first joined The We Company in 2016 and has since grown its global mobility division from a one-man team to an entire department, responsible for the movement of nearly 700 employees. The We Company’s spectacular growth in the decade since its founding – as of mid-2019, over 500 WeWork locations in 28 separate countries – has rapidly expanded the need for a specialized, expert mobility team. Sei tells us more on how he was able to manage his mobility programme to keep apace of the company’s extraordinary growth. Revealing the various policy changes the mobility programme’s growth required, Sei tells us of the flexibility and innovation both the company and his team have had to bring to the job. He also speaks in-depth on empathy and how he is able to ensure the best service for employees – from minimizing points of contact to encouraging the recruitment of mobility experts who have experienced relocation themselves. He closes this insightful and reflective interview with thoughts on individualizing packages for different employees and the various factors to keep in mind when transferring them.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week Kate and Alex were back at TechCrunch's San Francisco headquarters to chat the news with Kleiner Perkin's Mamoon Hamid. Hamid is best known as a former member of the Social Capital team, and for driving generational change at Kleiner Perkins, a decades-old venture capital firm.While we were prepping our notes, Airbnb announced that it is indeed going public next year. The firm's terse statement launched 1,000 blog posts (here is one, here is another), while instigating a few jokes. After all, the IPO market is hot now. Saying that you are going to try your best to get out next year isn't incredibly impressive from a firm with as many billions as Airbnb is today. It's also not at all surprising.Still, it's a near-promise. And that means eventually we'll get to see what the popular home-sharing and accommodations company spends all its gross margin on. Moving along, we discussed the recent WeWork revelations. If you haven't read the Wall Street Journal's piece on the matter, you must. It is chock-full of colorful anecdotes with WeWork's co-founder and CEO Adam Neumann front and center.Next, we got into the news concerning a split at Aspect Ventures, which TechCrunch covered here. We had heard rumors about the split, first reported by The WSJ, for a few weeks now and were interested to discuss what drives these sort of shake-ups with our guest.Scooting ahead, we turned to the early-stage market where quite a few of you, our lovely friends, have asked us to spend more time. So, we talked at length about D2C startups, including the new, and we think cool Thingtesting business. You can check out their Instagram, the focal point of their business, here. Despite enjoying Thingtesting, Kate and Mamoon are bearish on the D2C movement.All that and we had a good time. Sorry about the lack of donut continuity in the video. We're back next week with more, and we'll see everyone at Disrupt in two weeks!

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week Kate and Alex were back to cover a lot of late-stage news, which they rounded up with some early-stage notes towards the end. As a reminder, come check out the show at Disrupt SF if you are in town, we'll be out amongst startups, chatting all things startups and money.Up top, we dug into WeWork and the latest from the company's continuing IPO saga. The question regarding the co-working company's public offering has changed to whether the IPO will happen this year, not just at what price the firm can entice enough investment to actually get public.Alex has written about the company's cash appetite a few times now, which raise the question of how long the company can survive without some sort of large, external investment. If SoftBank is willing to commit more capital is an open question.Moving along to Uber, the firm underwent layoffs again this week. More than 400 people, or 8% of the operations, were cut as the company attempts to streamline operations, cut costs and, well, take baby steps toward profitability. As mentioned in the show here is a link to the Travis Kalanick letter.Turning to the early-stage part of the world, there's a new early-stage-focused venture fund out there, Work Life Ventures, which intends to put small checks into promising SaaS companies. The firm is led by SaaS School founder Brianne Kimmel, a well-known angel investor in the enterprise space. So far she's backed three companies out of the fund, including recent Y Combinator standout Tandem.We finished off the episode with... cereal. A company called Magic Spoon (their website is here, as promised) raised $5.5 million this week for its D2C breakfast business. Our take is that the price point is a bit too high for comfort in its current iteration. It'll be interesting to see if the startup can lower its prices now that it has new capital.We'll be back in a week! Chat soon, and please stop telling us to become angel investors!

WeWork's S-1 IPO filing has been met with huge skepticism. From rapidly growing losses and weak gross margins, to self-dealing real-estate & IP deals with CEO/Founder Adam Neumann, The We Company is a fascinating case study. The company is rumored to be cutting its valuation in half (or more) after tepid demand from Wall Street. What are your thoughts on the IPO? Are we at peak startup bubble, or is this a disrupter??

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week, we recorded on location at TechCrunch Sessions: Enterprise in San Francisco, a show that saw talks from Box's Aaron Levie, Atlassian CEO Scott Farquhar and venture capitalists Maha Ibrahim, Rebecca Lynn and Jason Green. The latter, the founder of Emergence Capital, joined us before his panel for a special episode of Equity focused almost entirely on enterprise tech. Danny Crichton, the esteemed leader of TechCrunch's Extra Crunch, was on hand to co-lead the episode with Kate. Before we jumped too deep into the enterprise pool, we had to review some news from one of the most-talked about companies. The co-working giant, legally known as The We Company, is said to have halved its IPO exceptions to a minuscule $20 billion! Ok that's not really that small but compared to its most recent valuation of $47 billion, we're a bit shocked. Next, we ran through the IPO pipeline. Cloudflare is expected to go public next Friday. Datadog will come after that. WeWork is reportedly kicking off its roadshow next week, but given this week's reports, that could be delayed. After that, Green gave us his take on Box, the file sharing business in which he was an early investor in. If you haven't heard, activist investor Starboard Value took a 7.5% stake in the business this week. Green explains what that means and what he think is next for the company. Levie, of course, spoke on stage at the enterprise event. In short, the executive said his goal is to continue building a sustainable business. Finally, we dove into the latest trends in startups. Enterprise still isn't sexy but it's much sexier than it's been in the past. Why? Because all the enterprise startups want to build consumer friendly tools. Tune in to hear what Green thinks of the consumerization of the enterprise and all the startup madness.

WeWork, known officially as the We Company is facing some haters ahead of their IPO. Bobbi and guest co-host CFP® and CFA Tara Falcone of ReisUp go over the red flags that have raised concerns, and go over the specific things WeWork has done well that has resulted in getting much higher valuations than some of its more profitable peers.

Efter hårda påtryckningar från våra lyssnare har vi nu gjort en djupdykning i det börsnoteringsaktuella The We Company som ligger bakom kontorshotellen WeWork. Utöver det blir det också en hel del makrosnack för att förklara den enorma överlikviditet som leder till att bolag likt The We Company har kunnat frodas.Veckans sponsor är Pepins och vi har denna vecka gjort en analys av Forsstrom High Frequency som kan handlas på plattformen 11-16 september.Läs gärna mer om Forsstrom High Frequency och Pepins på: https://www.pepins.com/trading/forsstrom-high-frequency-BLänk till en summering av WeWorks prospekt: https://bit.ly/2m10wTjFölj oss på Twitter: https://twitter.com/marketmakerspod See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Matty K and John do a little recap on Ice Breakers and what NOT to say to make connections. Then we delve into We Work...now known as We Company, as it goes public. Some financial gurus say it is fool's gold while others say it might be a diamond in disguise. As usual, no one agrees...nor does Matty and John.

Investerarnas och analytikernas blickar riktas mot We Work eller The We Company och dess grundare Adam Neumann som laddar inför en framtida notering med kraftig expansion, hög risk och stora förluster. Håller den omdebatterade 500 miljarders värderingen hela vägen?

Although one of the charms of our podcast is that Arne and Chander have different perspectives on almost everything, today both of us share the view that WeWork (officially, The We Company) is overvalued and its governance practices are questionable. Last week, WeWork filed its S1 with the SEC for its Initial Public Offering (IPO). In this podcast episode, we analyze WeWork's business model, valuation, and business practices. We also discuss why companies pivot, how to do it, and what are the challenges related to pivoting. Please join us for a friends of Valley Nordic gathering in Oslo on September 4th evening.

On MACROECONOMICS CORNER:The Recession looms heavy on the horizon, as the market nets a loss this week. Doom unto the economy. In the BUSINESSES: We explore the fascinating chicanery of WeWork, aka The We Company, which proved itself to be an utter fraud this week with its IPO filing. Evidently the entire operation is a wealth shelter for Adam Neumann and his wife. Somehow valued at $47B on revenue of $400M, we now know that start-up darlings can be conjured out of thin air. We also discuss the glut of box companies in the world, and whether or not they will stand the test of time, or merely leave their soapy detritus across the land in the years to come.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. Today is our promised Equity Shot (a short-form, single-topic episode) on the WeWork S-1. You can read Kate's notes here, or Alex's here as a place to start. Given that we didn't know when the WeWork S-1 filing was going to make itself known, we put together this episode from TechCrunch's SF HQ, Alex's home office, and Kate inside a New York Blue Bottle Coffee. We were not about to let the locational issues stop us from having fun! Where to begin! WeWork is growing like mad, but it's hard to tell what its gross margins are. This makes its revenue quality hard to parse. (Alex tried to figure that out here, TechCrunch has even more good questions and notes here). What wasn't hard to figure out was that WeWork -- also known as The We Company -- is tectonically unprofitable on operating and net bases. And that the company's operations consume cash, while its investing activities torch the stuff. WeWork's eclectic chief executive officer and co-founder Adam Neumann will maintain a majority of voting rights. It's not uncommon for founder-led companies to adopt this sort of voting structure and considering how central Neumann is to WeWork's identity, we weren't the least bit surprised by this. The company's IPO will make a lot of groups a lot of money. Mainly Benchmark, a respected venture capital fund, JP Morgan, and, of course, SoftBank, which has invested billions in WeWork and now owns more than 100 million shares. And that's all for now. Don't miss our episode with Dan Primack that came out yesterday. A busy week, but a good one. Chat again soon!

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This was a special week for us because Danny was back in the office, which meant we cornered him into coming on the show. Danny, of course, is an Equity regular. Also aboard this week were our regular hosts, Kate and Alex. We were relieved to have three hosts because there was a lot of news to get through, from IPOs to late-stage financings to little seed fundings, and we shit you not, camping! Up first was the rapidly-approaching WeWork IPO. WeWork, also known as The We Company, filed to go public some time ago. So we weren't terribly surprised to learn the company is plotting a September listing. Though that's earlier than we'd been expecting, we're not complaining. If the sooner-than-anticipated IPO is due to market timing, or the company simply being ready we don't know yet. But we will when we see the numbers. Bring on the S-1 filing. Next Alex took us through a few recent and upcoming IPOs. He promised to be brief, so we'll mirror the feat here. Last week Phreesia, Medallia, and DouYu went public (notes here), Livongo got out this week (S-1 review here), and 9F and CloudMinds have filed. Expect more IPO news in time whether you want it or not. Leaving the public markets, Kate had words concerning the forthcoming Bird round that has yet to close. The company is raising its Series D led by Sequoia at a $2.5 billion valuation. Listen to the episode for your weekly scooter rant. Next, Danny took us through the Robinhood round, which brought us to a discussion point. Alex wanted to compare Robinhood to Slack, when the latter company was worth about the same amount as Robinhood is now. Kate objected to the comparison, one's an enterprise software business and the other a fintech giant. Still, Alex had lots of great points. We then turned to HipCamp. The company, known as Airbnb for camping, raised a nice round of funding at a $127 million valuation. Andreessen Horowitz was involved via new general partner Andrew Chen, who recently announced another deal in the email subscription platform Substack. We're betting Airbnb gobbles up HipCamp at some point. We also touched on Gusto's $200 million raise (and its constituent new valuation), before closing with the now-very-probable Vision Fund 2.0 and its Microsoft connection. All that and we left even more material on the floor due to time. Make sure to check Equity out on Spotify if you haven't seen us over there before. Click here to find the show.

WeWork chief executive officer Adam Neumann is already rich, but soon all of the early employees and investors of the co-working giant will be too. The business, now known as The We Company, has accelerated its plans to go public, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. WeWork is expected to unveil is S-1 filing next month ahead of a September initial public offering. WeWork declined to provide comment for this story.

We critiqued WeWork's (aka "the We Company") business model in episode 292 of this podcast. Now comes the news that co-founder CEO Adam Neumann has sold $700 million worth of stock per the Wall Street Journal. This type of a stock sale by a founder CEO ahead of a prospective IPO is unprecedented in our 20-plus years in the capital markets and is a huge red flag. It would take a small miracle for WeWork to pull off an IPO in our view given the fact that the company does not match lease durations and given news of this $700 million stock sale by Neumann.

Edwin Lee (https://www.instagram.com/kimchi.breath/) is Design Lead at WeWork Labs (https://www.wework.com/labs) . For over a decade, Edwin has worked alongside strategists, user researchers, and fellow designers to help companies develop new products ideas and place people at the center of the design process. He co-founded Ghost Lab (https://ghostlabdesign.com/) —an independent design studio combining design thinking and design craft—to prototype early-stage product designs and brand identity systems. He currently works at WeWork Labs—the We Company’s global innovation platform. WeWork Labs provides opportunities for early-stage startups and forward-thinking enterprise companies to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, and provides access to education resources and programming needed to scale their business. Edwin is dad to his 5-month-old son. In this episode, Edwin wades through the fog and “firsts” of early fatherhood. Blurry-eyed and sleep deprived, Edwin explains how he and his wife share the demands (and the doting) in these early days; the importance of paternity leave for perspective and prioritization; and how he plans to sidestep traditional “Korean dad” tendencies through open affection and open-mindedness when it comes to his son’s career choices.

WeWork has become one of this decade’s biggest success stories. This New York-based firm offers flexible shared workspaces for anyone from freelancers to large enterprises, complete with health insurance, an internal social network and events. Its approach has helped businesses thrive, and its model has rolled out to 738 locations in 39 countries with more than 13,000 employees. Two of those employees are Jake Williams (Creative Manager) and Greg Rogers (Head of Visualization), who are responsible for visualizing the company’s upcoming workspaces. In this podcast, recorded at the Total Chaos conference, Jake and Greg tell Chris how their team has grown exponentially alongside WeWork and The We Company; how working in-house compares to working for an external architectural visualization agency; and they discuss the technology they use to turn around beautiful images in astonishingly short periods of time.

As the world gets more demanding, we're demanding more flexibility from our spaces and services. That's why we're talking about The We Company this week, as they file for an IPO, and look forward to the continuing growth of the Space as a Service model. We also look at how WeWork is or is not influencing smaller markets like Lexington.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week we had the full gang around, with Connie Loizos in the studio with Kate Clark and our guest Barrett Cohn from Scenic Advisement. Alex was on the line from Providence. Lucky for us, news of Lyft's IPO pricing broke right before we hit record. That shook things up a bit, but it was far better to have it break as we were getting our notes together rather than after we kicked off. Let's start there. Lyft is going out at $72 per share, the top-end of its boosted range. The firms fully diluted $24 billion valuation (give or take) will be supported by around $2.4 billion in new capital, giving Lyft fresh runway to continue its expensive growth strategy. Next, we turned to podcast industry stalwart Casper. Fret not podcast fans, the D2C mattress company has $100 million more in the bank, a fresh $1.1 billion valuation and IPO plans on the horizon. That's a pretty parcel of news, which means it should be a full-charge ahead for the newly minted unicorn. We also discuss newly leaked Casper financials. The company, like most unicorns, is still losing money but its swelling annual revenues point to a profitable future. From unicorn to unicorn to unicorn, we moved on to WeWork. WeWork, now known by its stage name The We Company, reported its 2018 financial performance this week and the results were amazing, twice. Amazing first in terms of growth, with revenue spiking from $886 million in 2017 to $1.8 billion in 2018. And amazing again in terms of cost, as WeWork's net loss shot from $933 million in 2017 to $1.9 billion in 2018. We had a chat about precisely what the firm is, with our guest arguing that WeWork isn't a tech company at all, it's a real estate business. We aren't sure what the future holds for WeWork but we're glad to have a front-row seat to the Adam Neaumann show. Finally, investors are once again in trouble. This time the venture community is taking stripes for landing in the college admissions cheating scandal. As if we still thought this country was a meritocracy. Regardless, your friends at Equity are glad to see you. And we'll be back before you miss us!

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week we had the full gang around, with Connie Loizos in the studio with Kate Clark and our guest Barrett Cohn from Scenic Advisement. Alex was on the line from Providence. Lucky for us, news of Lyft's IPO pricing broke right before we hit record. That shook things up a bit, but it was far better to have it break as we were getting our notes together rather than after we kicked off. Let's start there. Lyft is going out at $72 per share, the top-end of its boosted range. The firms fully diluted $24 billion valuation (give or take) will be supported by around $2.4 billion in new capital, giving Lyft fresh runway to continue its expensive growth strategy. Next, we turned to podcast industry stalwart Casper. Fret not podcast fans, the D2C mattress company has $100 million more in the bank, a fresh $1.1 billion valuation and IPO plans on the horizon. That's a pretty parcel of news, which means it should be a full-charge ahead for the newly minted unicorn. We also discuss newly leaked Casper financials. The company, like most unicorns, is still losing money but its swelling annual revenues point to a profitable future. From unicorn to unicorn to unicorn, we moved on to WeWork. WeWork, now known by its stage name The We Company, reported its 2018 financial performance this week and the results were amazing, twice. Amazing first in terms of growth, with revenue spiking from $886 million in 2017 to $1.8 billion in 2018. And amazing again in terms of cost, as WeWork's net loss shot from $933 million in 2017 to $1.9 billion in 2018. We had a chat about precisely what the firm is, with our guest arguing that WeWork isn't a tech company at all, it's a real estate business. We aren't sure what the future holds for WeWork but we're glad to have a front-row seat to the Adam Neaumann show. Finally, investors are once again in trouble. This time the venture community is taking stripes for landing in the college admissions cheating scandal. As if we still thought this country was a meritocracy. Regardless, your friends at Equity are glad to see you. And we'll be back before you miss us!

What happens when you put 30 Nope superfans in a room with a cheese influencer and our finest living text-message dramaturgist? Your terrible week suddenly gets better! As the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history dragged on, we managed to execute our first-ever live show, in which we collectively shut down Trump’s hamburger inflation, Javanka’s “Vice” walkout, and explored how the hijacking of Brian’s Spotify account led him to develop a passion for Christian rock and Shen Yun dance performances. We also vomit over dueling Fyre Festival documentaries, the timing and content of WeWork’s rebranding, and ponder why a nine-foot sculpture of a piece of candy wrapped in the Saudi flag was installed at Ground Zero. Finally, world-renowned cheese influencer Brooke Hammerling offers plating advice while leading us through the darkness of the Birdbox Cheese Challenge, and professional songstress Glace Chase delivers an Oscar-quality interpretation of Jeff Bezos’s romantic text messages.
