One reason for Pluralsight’s success is through acquiring a bunch of tech training and e-learning companies to have a huge content library. No doubt they used some of their quarter of a billion in VC cash to perform those acquisitions.
Who is to say they reach “unicorn” status and have a good exit if they didn’t take on that VC cash to do those acquisitions?
- evilduck 2y agoBesides the founders, who gives a shit if they have a good exit? As a user, them destroying chunks of the e-learning space and cashing out is something I view as a negative.
- camdenreslink 2y agoI was just referring to the idea that they could just not take VC cash or the PE deal and that would have worked out better for them. The current structure and offering from the company are based on those things. It would look very different without those things. For context, I've used PluralSight for 10+ years. Scott Allen (RIP) was my favorite. I'm still salty about PluralSight acquiring CodeSchool and effectively shutting it down (what was the point of that?).
