Sacks leaves out the lease duration for a reason. Prices on short term leases swing up and down dramatically more than a normal 10 year commercial lease. Still a great deal for startups, though, if they don't want to go remote.

I'd agree that the decline in interest rates (and the asset inflation it fueled) has a limit. However, the actual earnings of publicly traded companies[1] is also increasing! So the predicted bottom off a stable p/e keeps going up

Surprising they couldn't make this work. It seems like every substack author promotes their work on twitter. Maybe it's just hard to avoid tossing a few babies out with the bath water when reducing headcount by 75%.

I read somewhere that they end up costing as much as an IPO for some arcane reasons. Maybe that's not actually the case?

My impression is that the incentives leading to "next-quarter-itis" are primarily executive compensation and investor's own timelines (influenced by long term cap gains only requiring one year). Keeping companies private just

Great to hear that those laid off have jobs to find. This round of layoffs has only been the end of easy money. If we have an actual recession it will get worse. Now's the time to think through emergency funds and contingency plans.

Turn it into an API and we'll have better ones. There's no justification for the ridiculous fees they're charging. Pure regulatory capture.

They're specifically saying it's single tenant. I suspect this is the same software as a self hosted GitLab, but where GitLab is operating it.

The whole point of taking funding is that it lets a company grow headcount ahead of achieving the sales to sustain it. So they'll estimate that X headcount will be needed Y months in the future. When growth doesn't materialize the
