I actually used Native because it was legitimately natural, not the "natural" claim that Unilever/P&G make but still pack it with chemicals that shouldn't be in my body. Would also like other recommendations for othe

Jet is losing in the game they thought they would win at. They were screaming discounts and pay less for everything, and now saying that they don't want to be perceived as a discount site. This is mostly due to pressure from brands&#x2

That is under the IPO price, and well under their once marketcap of $6B. Another classic example of a hot startup (one of the hottest in Seattle) hitting a brick wall once going public

I also worked at Amazon, and believe a lot of what was on this NYT article was overly dramatic (not surprising). I never saw anyone cry, so the assertion that everyone cries is false (I just asked dozens of my former colleagues that are sti

Jet's major value proposition was that it was supposed to be an attractive alternative option to Amazon for the Retailers and CPG companies. In the short run, that customer is probably more important than the end customer (similar to A

Jet doesn't own the inventory, it's simply a marketplace model (similar to Amazon FBA, or most of Alibaba's business in Asia)

profit is irrelevant. their capex is $1B-$2B per quarter. they could lower their capex at any point and show a few hundred million dollars net earnings. the point is that they are as big as they are and continue to invest in the future, and

yes the measure they are talking about is market cap, not sales. the market cap for Wlmt includes sam's club, walmart.com, etc. In terms of total sales, Wlmt (including subsidiaries) is close to $500B, while Amazon is approaching $100B

This was a long time coming. 20% growth on a business that is approaching $100B revenue (and probably 2-3x that in terms of GMV, a better measure of its size and dominance), and AWS continues to grow as does the digital side of the business
