Imagine trying so hard to build a company and getting to the 11th hour before the IPO and being stymied by something as simple as basic corporate governance.

That’s like trying to launch a tech company but “forgetting” to set up the servers and hoping if you talk about your vision and say “We” enough no one will notice/mind.

What company? What was built? It's a money destruction machine, not a business. They have no plans or experiments or research moonshots that they expect to be profitable, ever.

People seem to forget that a lot: losing your shareholder's money isn't a business.

losing your shareholder's money isn't a business.

True, but if you do it right it can be a very successful career.

I see your point but WeWork hasn't IPO'd yet. So there are no short sellers yet.

blaming "short sellers" is a slightly more sophisticated sounding "haters gonna hate" in most situations, but in reality its equally as dumb.
