This is all very interesting. Chase is planning on covering the money to my knowledge, however, I'm more curious how it happened.

It's a general statement. I'm not interested in the fine details of the lawsuit. The point is that the ones who launched win. Period.

Let's not use the word stupid. I live and work in this ecosystem. If you saw what I saw you would agree.

Well said. You're exactly right. I didn't cover it, but the larger concern I have here is that this misguided approach could lead to distrust from wall street of any tech IPO's that aren't enterprise, or low/mid cap.

The root of my argument though is that as Silicon Valley know-it-alls we assumed the world would gawk in awe of our amazing creation and throw money at us, which it did not. It's a shame you can't buy put's on that, because THAT would have

Yes, typically you have a negotiated rate, such as 5%, 10%, whatever. You're right I saw the s-1, but even then they still lost a lot, and the employees got screwed.

by wkasel 14y ago
Fair, but the only problem I see with your reasoning is stock grants were being issued as far back as 18 months ago at $25/share, which means that those employees DID lose money.

Interesting assessment. I live in Silicon Valley, I don't own a share of FB, I do trade frequently. Like you, I made an assessment. My frusteration comes mostly from reading on tech blogs what Facebook "needs to do". Techcrunch acts like th

With all due respect, I completely disagree. If you understand the fundamentals of an IPO, as I explained below you would know that there is a 180 day lock-up period for employees, this means that employees haven't been able to sell their s

Logical explanation, however the point of an IPO is not just liquidity in for your employees, but also to raise money for the company, and allow the public to buy in. If you don't price it so the price goes up, then you're doing everyone, e

Got it. Cool to know. Thanks for that. What are your plans with the platform?

Don't hate me for asking, I hate when people say this, but can you clearly explain to me this vs. Pusher? I use Pusher, so I'd like to know.

Seems great. So you're suggesting you will keep a library of all the major libraries, and load them async for the user? How do you handle dependencies, such as jquery, and jquery plugins?

Its 20-30k for paid apps. But often, if the app sucks - it won't stay on top very long.

if you are microsoft, you need to realize that you will never do anything that is going to win over the tech community. Refocus on the young, un-opinionated demographic. These 16-24 year old average college student doesn't care if you rippe
