  Looking at the fortunes of the Casper place in the time since, Wikipedia has it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casper_Sleep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casper_Sleep On February 6, 2020, it went public at $12 per share, translating to a market value of $476 million ... On March 31, 2020, its stock dropped to $4.12 per share, translating to a market value of $163 million ... In April 2020, Casper announced the winding down of its European operations and laid off 21% of its staff ... In November 2021, Casper announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired ... The transaction completed in January 2022 and Casper's stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Disappeared with barely a whimper it seems like.
