Dot Com to Bomb
It was so exciting to figure out which ideas made it through the boom when we finished this segment. It all began in 1997 , yes the same year a sheep was "cloned", Hong Kong declared their independence and the Heavens Gate cult committed a mass suicide. WEIRD huh, yeah i know. This is when all companies were starting up , hey remember startup.com! i do haha 😅. Funding companies through friends and family and investments.For existing companies raising in ways that include PUBLIC OFFERING. When i think of it, i think "you get a piece, you get a piece, you get a piece" and so on. That Is basically what it is right? Selling your shares to people? Or selling your company? Hey my notes say "raising millions for your company" so i'm not that far off. By the year 2000 companies that were once making lots of dough, started to die off one by one. Some faster then the others, only the strongest could survive. EXACTLY WHY our very smart professor mr. andrew fry compared the companies to dinosaurs, well none of them actually survived but the strongest ones lasted. Owe maybe that is a sign, some of the strongest companies at the moment may or may not die off very soon 😮😮😮. The world may never know. But its sad, companies had like fame for a little while then were forced to watch it all come down. It makes me think what they could have done better, well i'm pretty sure everyone thought that at a point in time. Now companies that are no longer here have a kinda sorta fame for their downfall (tear).
