Hello and welcome back to our regular morning look at private companies, public markets and the gray space in between.
Today we’re starting on a somber topic, so I’ll hold off on our usual jokes and attempts at puns. The impact of the coronavirus known as COVID-19 is starting to show up in U.S.-based technology earnings, and it’s something we need to discuss. We’ll get back to SaaS multiples, the IPO market, and riffing on startups later today, but first, some bad news from the public markets.
Let’s examine the latest from Microsoft, Nutanix, and Booking Holdings (parent company of Bookings.com), OpenTable, and Kayak. Afterwards, we’ll talk about what types of companies might be impacted, given what we’ve learned. And finally, we’ll link this all back to startups, younger technology shops sensitive to changes in market sentiment and repricing due to public market gyrations.
In this fashion my colleague Wesley Virgin's adventure starts with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteYou see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the EXACT same tactics many famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know that you use only 10% of your brain.
Mostly, that's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.
Perhaps that thought has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain 7 years ago, while riding a non-registered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3.20 in his pocket.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life check to check! When will I finally succeed?"
You've been a part of those those types of thoughts, isn't it so?
Your very own success story is waiting to start. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
