  @cox_tom I decided to cancel my AOL subscription as it didn't work on my Mac. Did it during my work lunch hour. I held my nerve as they passed me on to many different people begging me to stay and offering me the world. 1&1/2 hrs later I succeeded. I had applause from work colleagues!

  Airtable just got acquired by Bending Spoons for $1.2B+. The company raised $1.4B in funding and was valued at $11.7B in 2021. It has $480M in ARR growing 20 percent and filed for an IPO five months ago. None of that mattered and $2.25B equity value barely clears the preference stack. Early employees and common shareholders split what is left after investors get their liquidation preferences back. Bending Spoons collects SaaS companies the way private equity collects distressed assets. AOL, Evernote, Eventbrite, Vimeo, WeTransfer, now Airtable. They listed on Nasdaq three weeks ago and this is already their first post-IPO acquisition. Airtable is not a bad company. $480M ARR and 80 percent of the Fortune 100 as customers is a good business. The lesson is that raising $1.4B at an $11.7B valuation in 2021 set a bar that no amount of revenue growth could clear. The preference stack becomes the ceiling. Basically it's another corpse of bloated valuations of that period of time. What Airtable would look like if it had raised $50M instead of $1.4B? Same product, market and ARR trajectory. At $480M ARR a $1.285B exit would have been a massive win for everyone involved. The money that was supposed to be rocket fuel became the weight that dragged it down. Also worth noting: Bending Spoons is an Italian company buying American tech at a discount. The narrative that European tech cannot compete is aging badly. It is just competing differently, not by building hype but by buying the hangover.

  AOL and Time Warner merged in a $165,000,000,000 deal, and two years later the company wrote off $99,000,000,000 in a single year. The announcement came in January 2000, weeks before the dot-com peak. An internet company buying one of the largest media empires on earth. AOL was the smaller business by revenue and profit. It had the stock price, which was the currency that made the deal possible. Steve Case and Gerald Levin stood on stage and called it the future. Dial-up subscribers plus film studios, cable systems, magazines, and music. Then the bubble burst. AOL's advertising revenue collapsed, and the subscriber business began dying as broadband arrived and nobody needed dial-up anymore. The cultures never combined. Time Warner executives resented being bought with inflated paper, and the AOL side found the media business slow. In 2002 the company reported a loss of about $99,000,000,000, the largest annual loss in American corporate history. Almost all of it was writing down the value of AOL itself. The AOL name came off the company in 2003. The two businesses split apart entirely in 2009. Levin later apologized publicly and called himself responsible. The biggest deal ever signed destroyed more value than most companies ever create.

  @youfadedwealth @CryptoMichNL Ignorant statement. Thats like saying in early 2000s that Tech in general is never coming back because stocks like aol have no future.
