ELoan's IPO: An Inside Story
from the yet-another-behind-the-scenes dept
Okay, these are getting to be way too popular these days, but the "inside the IPO" story seems to be appearing just about everywhere. Each magazine or online source that has one makes it sound as if they've done something amazing by getting to write the story, which isn't necessarily true. I've already posted a bunch to Techdirt, but they are usually fairly interesting, and the latest from Businessweek, on eLoan's IPO is no different. Another story of maybes, close calls, and weird characters. So, when is the "high tech IPO - the movie" going to come out?
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.
