Webvan to IPO Next Week
from the massively-overhyped-IPOs dept
Well, it's about time we had yet another massively overhyped IPO. Next week it appears the IPO of choice will be online grocery firm Webvan. For a company that's only been in business a few months, and can currently only serve one market (San Francisco Bay Area) I guess it makes sense that they think they're worth approximately $4 billion. And, I'm sure, by the end of the IPO the company will be worth even more. Bubble? What bubble?
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.

And what about Peapod?
Either Webvan is ridiculously overvalued (but we knew that), Peapod is ridiculously undervalued, or both.
