Is Idealab in Trouble?
from the what-now? dept
A good look at the upcoming (maybe?) Idealab IPO in Business Week, where they point out some of the more significant problems the company might face. Including among these are a promise on their last fund raising round that the investors would not lose money. This could mean that those investors end up with significantly more of the company than was originally promised. Business Week also takes a few pot shots at the companies Idealab has created.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
