We lost some real stars this past year #bankruptcy #businessnews #startup #wallstreet

Welcome back to the Unicorn Awards. We've celebrated many new unicorns tonight, but it's time to look back on those that we've lost this year. Vice, peak valuation of $5.7 billion. Its best moment was sending white guys from LA to do tarot card readings for drug dealers. Its cause of death was acute lack of advertising dollars and millennials in upper management. Bird Scooters, with a peak valuation of $2.5 billion. Its best moments were drunk riding in college towns with four of your friends clinging on. Its death was caused by, unsurprisingly, over 100 personal injury lawsuits and nobody wrote him after COVID. Near and dear to our hearts, we work. With a peak valuation of $47 billion, its best moments were every time Adam Neumann stepped outside. Its cause of death was both a crazy founder and crazy expensive rent. I mean, they were paying 80% of their revenue on rent and interest alone, so. And just this week, we lost Drizzly. With a peak valuation of $1.1 billion, its best work was getting us all drunk through the pandemic. Its cause of death was that it's as expensive as like bottle service, but it's just at my apartment. And on to our next category, unicorns we predict will be found guilty of fraud.
