Spotify is going public ๐Ÿค‘
Spotify is going public today in an unusual way. Instead of using a bank, they're IPOing with an uncommon funding mechanism: a direct listing. Shareholders and employees will be able to sell their equity, but Spotify isn't actually raising any new funding by issuing new shares.

Quick facts about the IPO:
  • Unlike most other executive teams, Spotify's co-founders will retain 80% of the voting power. ๐Ÿ‘€
  • The mega-unicorn will trade as $SPOT.
  • In the last three months of 2017, Spotify lost $7.9M every day.
