    Spotify is going public πŸ€‘
    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. πŸ‘€
    • The mega-unicorn will trade as $SPOT.
    • In the last three months of 2017, Spotify lost $7.9M every day.

    The Product Hunt community loves Spotify, with dozens of integrated apps and tools to enhance your music-listening experience:
