Kozmo Delays IPO
from the oh-really? dept
Like this one is a big surprise. Kozmo has announced they're putting off their IPO until at least early next year. It's funny how the announcement sounds like this is a casual decision. This from a company that laid off 275 employees last week, and will be laying off another 30 to 40 along with the postponement announcement. They're also still apparently working on a merger agreement with Urbanfetch.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.
