Vantaggi
- Well capitalized from Tier 1 Investors (GIC, BCap, Altimeter, Accel, Tiger) - Can do well during a bull market cycle but lack predictable revenue in a bear market makes sustainability difficult. - Lots of smart mid-level and junior employees who are really the backbone of the business making the day-to-day possible.
Svantaggi
- Zero diversity and inclusion and the leadership team is almost entirely male. Look on LinkedIn to validate very few female leaders and a lack of focus on hiring diversity at the company. - Implicit bias runs rampant among the senior leadership team in promotions, departures, and hiring. - Severely overvalued in the private market in the latest equity round compared to true fair market valuation. Heavily discount any equity offered. - Lots of difficulties scaling because of lack of investment in infrastructure. Still be running as a Series-A startup in the people leadership, processes in place, and scotched products taped together. - RECOMMENDATION: Do your due diligence by reaching out to current employees with >1 year to understand the land minds hiding below.
