Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | Heh, yea all their business dried up. I interviewed at a dotcom 8 months ago and they made a big deal about how they always had snacks around delivered by Kozmo. Well neither are here now, so go figure. What you want on this Samich -Pannix | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I thought they had shut their doors months ago. Theres a Record Explosion down near my job, and they were seeling previously viewed tapes in Kozmo cases (no porno either, thats really what I was looking for).

Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | You know that's what Kozmo should have done, combined forces with a escort service. That way they could deliver me a samich and the bitch to make it too. What you want on this Samich -Pannix | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: I don't know why the word "samich" amuses me so... In any case, we'll continue to see a lot of these dot-coms go belly up because they depend on financial backing from outside capitalists, who can only invest on the promise of potential earnings... And more often than not, even the guys who create the dot-com know their business won't turn a profit, but if they can get established, sell some shares, and get out before the s--- hits the fan, they won't care. It's a classic "get-rich-quick" con that a lot of people have unfortunately fallen for. "ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I'M PONDERING?" | ||||

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Yeah, you're right. You have all the answers. That's why you are a millionaire. You should be an advisor to all of these companies that are going under. Deek!!! Shut the fuck up. | ||||

Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | I do think alot of people got into the biz with the idea of getting rich quick. They may have even had a good idea even if it wasn't sustainable. But I think alot of them though the biz would last. Like you said the financial backing from VC's is drying up. A company needs money to stay in biz. They can either get it from customers, advertisers, stock, or investors. Most brick and mortar businesses built this all up over time while the dot-coms sold their soul to the devil ( AKA Venture Capital). I talked to a friend who was considering getting VC and they really screw you. Often the VC company will get over %60 of the options while the company gets %20 for all the executives and another %20 for the employees. It may look good in the short term, but as we have been finding out, its not a substitute for profits and its not a way to sustain a business. What you want on this Samich -Pannix | ||||
