why is hims and hers listed as a tech company?
- Terr_ 11mo agoIt looks like the company (ticker: HIMS) has made a lot of noise about being an AI-enabled telehealth company etc., so it might be one of those "because it's on the internet" things.
- lotsofpulp 11mo agoIf Netflix is a tech company, why aren’t any of the other streaming businesses? I guess that’s just Comcast and Disney, since Paramount went private, and WarnerBros is about to also.
- is_true 11mo agoIn my experience using both Netflix and Disney+ I have to say that Netflix is clearly a tech company or Disney+ is a pigeon carrier company.
- mbesto 11mo agoTech isn't a market thats why.... but there is a narrative that it is. Tesla is an automobile, solar and robotics company. Facebook is a media company. Google is a highly diversified media company. The list goes on and on... Fun fact: Goldman Sachs spends $1.9B on technology ever year. Palantir spends about $1B (if you add COGS/Infra + R&D).
- francisofascii 11mo agoMaybe because it's HQ is in the Bay area? :)
- krkb 11mo agoGreat question. I included them because they would argue very tech enabled. Also, around $10B market cap cutoff. In a future iteration I may make it so you can edit which companies get displayed...if that's interesting to people.
