@endowment_eddie Because many small businesses are nowhere ready to go through a wider sales process. Also rollover, they may care about employees, and relationships matter. It's obviously a grayscale but these deals exist and many small PE firms work hard to generate this type of deal flow.
The amount of people on my feed who think these "Euros first time in US for WC" accts are real and organic is amazing. It's such obvious slop and bullshit. You are no better than a boomer commenting on AI slop on FB.
Nothing can convince me that Brian Chesky isnโt one of the most overrated founder CEOs out there and would be a California Closet sales rep in another timeline
@sigmazerocap@learnerscap How do you convince consumers to actually use https://t.co/YTUCFbzqzR over zillow? How is it better or differentiated over zillow to users?
There is a stupid amount of money being raised in PE right now to acquire sports/event/leisure assets. $MTN is trading for around 8x normalized EBITDA. I will be damned if no one is at least looking at this.
@GlenKacher@chamath In no world is the average PE portfolio anywhere near majority software. It's not even 20% for most. VC is a different story but 90% software would still be an extreme outlier.
Every argument of โbecause of the smartphoneโ or โthe Internetโ or โsocial mediaโ is cope, to avoid confronting the catastrophic collapse of incumbent institutional competence over the same timeframe.
@_Housing_Guy_ Itโs a disaster all around. Just a matter of time until they pull the plug. Traffic just isnโt there and itโs not getting better. Maybe they will try something with Rocket or Compass first.
The number of hedge funds long $COMP based on a completely brain dead thesis around $COMP building a marketplace and normalizing pocket listings - universally hated by consumers and regulators - is truly astounding.
