How honest is the Honest Company?

#startups #Slidebean #Honest

Many of us know Jessica Alba today. She's a beautiful actress, a business mogul, and she just does not seem to age. And today, in 2021, she's commonly known as the founder of The Honest Company. This consumer products brand offers safe, eco-friendly products like diapers, a natural line of bath, skincare, home cleaning, etc.

It's a go-to place for household products focused on safety and ethical consumerism. But back in the 2000s, Jessica Alba was an up-and-coming actress.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the best critical reception. We have a feeling the girl knew there was more out there for her than just being a Hollywood star.

The early 2010s weren't like today. Now, a celebrity announces a company or raises a fund, and people are banging down their doors to give them money.

Back then, you had one lane and you did not stray, people didn't really take celebrity-sponsored companies that seriously. So how did this Hollywood actress breakthrough and come to IPO a company?

Startup Valuation: How to Calculate It - Startups 101

Get help from our team ►https://yt.slidebean.com/4il

When you speak to early-stage founders, they often don’t understand how they can either determine a reasonable valuation for their friends & family, seed, or Series A round, or judge if an offer they receive is “fair and reasonable.” There are a lot of moving parts to valuation, and things vary across rounds. In this video, we cover the details and cover what typical numbers look like for these rounds.

Why Do Bankrupt Companies Stay Open? - Company Forensics

#startups #Slidebean #Bankruptcy

As you may have figured out by now, we love to talk about dead or struggling companies, which usually end up bankrupt. Just in the retail sector last year, Century 21, Brooks Brothers, JCPenney, GNC, JCrew, Guitar Center, and a bunch of others all filed for bankruptcy and filled the news headlines.

But, somehow, if you go to your local mall today, you may find bankrupt stores up and running.

So what gives? Is it a capitalist instrument to keep the economy going? Maybe something more like that.

Let’s talk about Bankruptcy.

MSN Messenger helped shape our adolescent years, from annoying nudges and animated emoticons to talking to your crush and expecting a reply.

But if we look back, we can see that it was more than just teenagers chatting amongst themselves. It was part of a war between now-faded giants that were unknowingly laying the foundations of social networks.

And now, it's completely gone. How did this happen?

Going public is the ultimate graduation for an entrepreneur. The black belt. The Academy Award. The Olympic medal. Listing your company in the New York stock exchange. Going public.

More recently, as with everything in business- somebody found a legal way to cheat their way to going public, a method called a SPAC, and it may be one of the drivers to the new stock market bubble of the decade.

But to understand SPACs we need to understand everything from publicly listed companies, so let’s look into the process a company like us would take to get here in today’s company Forensics.
