Just to be clear, $100M is what they are looking to raise , not their valuation. Their last valuation was about $700M in 2014, so presumably, they are looking for a valuation that exceeds that, most likely in the low billions.

To be fair, that's a pretty big niche. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of office buildings out there and they all need someone to design the interiors. But one thing that's kind of cool about it is that it doesn&

My guess is that a lot of successful founders are people with experience in a given domain who founded a company to fill an unfilled need within that domain, and that most of these founders are on the older end. For example, I recently inte

During the recruiting process, I expect a company to be putting its best foot forward. If things seem disorganized at that stage, then I assume that day-to-day operations at the company are even more disorganized. Additionally, it always

Analogies are used all the time in legal decisions. You'll find them regularly in supreme court opinions, for example. Anytime something that has never been seen is litigated, it's likely that analogies will be made to figure out

When the iPhone came out, it was pretty much identical to the already popular iPod Touch, but with a phone included. It was a very obvious next step for Apple to take, although I'm sure Apple had planned to launch the iPod Touch as an

Why would this be anti-trust? Sodastream has competitors who do the exact same thing, not to mention their biggest competitor, which is pre-bottled sparkling water.

TLDR; Apple and Samsung seem to be tired of fighting this fight, so they settled. They have each spent hundreds of millions in legal fees on the ordeal and they avoid spending hundreds of millions more by settling the ordeal, which can go o

For one, raising money through an ICO is a legal gray area without much legal precedent. So even with a good lawyer, you are taking risk with the related securities laws. You might prefer to avoid this risk by raising money the traditional

This is pay-walled, but here's a summary: The country we now call "Macedonia" (i.e. The Republic of Macedonia) was formed in 1991 after Yugoslavia broke up. Greece didn't like the name, because "Macedonia" was

I say this without having seen the code base for either, but I'd be surprised if Stuxnet's code base was anywhere near as large or with as many moving pieces. Still, it's incredible to imagine the knowledge base that needed t
