@sammicohentalks: $4 billion to $39 million in under 5 years. How a sustainable shoe with a cultlike following (nearly 10 years ago) couldn’t crack the code to profitabillity. Were they doomed from the beginning after how much capital they raised? Maybe. But I like to believe that they could have had the opportunity to turn the brand around had they nailed their product execution.
The shoes were ugly and didn’t fit. It’s that simple.

These were never the best shoes…people stopped caring when they realized they can get better products elsewhere. I think Allbirds was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Those founders I'm sure sold stock way higher and gave up on any real turn around
