Judge less than the big day of Uber – TechCrunch

Hello and welcome to Equity, TechCrunch's venture capital podcast, where we reveal the numbers behind the headlines.

We are back, as promised. Kate Clark and Alex Wilhelm met today to discuss the latest of the IPO of Uber. To know that it's open, and then continued to fall.

Some questions come to mind. Why Uber lose ground? Was it the fault of the company? Was it just the macro market? Was it something else altogether? What we do know is that Uber's pricing was not what we expected and his first day was not smooth.

There are a lot of reasons why Uber went out like this. First, the stock market has had a difficult week. This situation, combined with rising tensions between the United States and China, made this week one of the worst of the year for Uber's monstrous IPO.

But, to make everything clear, we went back in history, recalled some keys of Lyft statistics, and more.

We do not know what the next step is, but we will be watching closely, especially the next cohort of unicorn companies ready to go public (Postmates, Hi!).
