Uber, Faraday Future, Twitter and others - which companies will die in 2021 Ars Technica annually publishes a list of companies and brands that are most likely to die in the coming year. It includes projects whose existence is under threat for a variety of reasons - economic, cultural or technological. The editors emphasize that companies will not necessarily close completely in 2021, since the death of any organization can drag on for many years. The list includes companies that experience at least one of the following problems: • the company has been losing share in its market for a long time; • experiences financial difficulties or loses income; • faced management problems, does not have a reliable business model or long-term strategy. The 2021 Ars Technica Deathwatch list includes Yahoo, anonymous messaging app Yik Yak, Twitter, medical company Theranos, HTC, gaming studio Gearbox Software and smartphone maker Blackberry. Yahoo actually sold its core business in 2021 and actually ceased to exist, turning into Altaba, and the Yik Yak messenger announced its closure. Blackberry and Gearbox Software spent the year “quietly” and without big news, while Twitter and HTC were again included in the publication’s list. In 2018, the editors of the publication included six in it, writes Ars Technica. In 2021, everything changed for the company - it became involved in a number of scandals: Alphabet-owned Waymo sued Uber and accused the service's management of stealing self-driving technology. The New York Times spoke about an internal tool called Greyball, which helps Uber mislead authorities and police in cities and countries where the service is officially prohibited. Former Uber employee Susan Fowler published a note in which she described an atmosphere of sexism at the company, prompting an internal investigation at the startup. Travis Kalanick left his post as Uber CEO in June. His position was given to the former CEO of the travel service Expedia Dara Khosrowshahi. At the same time, Ars Technica continues, Uber continues to receive billions of losses from year to year - in the third quarter of 2021 alone, the company’s net loss, according to Reuters, amounted to $1.46 billion. In 2021, Uber’s loss amounted to $2.8 billion, and in In 2021, according to analysts, this figure will only increase. In mid-2021, the company had about $6.6 billion in funds left in its accounts - this, Ars Technica believes, will not last long, even taking into account the investment from Softbank in December. In 2018, Uber faces two main tasks: find a way to reduce losses and achieve profitability - and as quickly as possible complete the development of an unmanned vehicle, which will help significantly reduce the cost of travel. “The company’s management apparatus is practically destroyed, the legal proceedings with Waymo are still not over - it will not be so easy,” writes the editors of the publication. Twitter In 2017, the microblogging service Twitter was also included in the list from Ars Technica. “Twitter won’t be going away by the end of 2021, rest assured. But the social network as we know it will come to an end. And we’re not talking about minor changes to the interface or the introduction of new functions,” the publication wrote then. By early 2021, Twitter was rapidly losing investor funds, and although the pace has slowed somewhat in 2021, the service is still making losses. Over the course of a year, the company burns through a third of its funds, and there is no talk of reaching profitability yet, notes Ars Technica. The social network has begun an active fight against toxic users and comments, but in this direction, the editors believe, the company may never succeed. Facebook, Instagram and other social networks are struggling with similar problems. And Facebook, the editors of the publication believe, is doing a better job than Twitter, one of the most significant changes in 2017 was the increase in the number of characters in a tweet. Faraday Future “The story of Faraday Future is an object lesson in the dangers of arrogance and excess,” writes Ars Technica. The project was called the “Tesla killer”; he managed to lure the design director from BMW and the head of the Ferrari Formula 1 team into the team. Faraday Future first showed off its own car concept at CES in early 2021. “If you promise to show a “Tesla killer”—and these are the company’s management’s words, not ours—better show a working car,” writes Ars Technica. This was followed by several other high-profile announcements that had nothing to do with cars: the construction of a factory in Nevada, in San Francisco, and the conclusion of a partnership with a racing team competing in Formula E competitions. At the 2021 CES, the company showed off its first production car, the FF91, and it too disappointed many journalists. Then news appeared in the media about the difficult situation in the company and the lack of funds. “By the end of the year, Faraday Future was in a difficult position: plans to build a factory had to be curtailed, employees began to leave the company, and the agreement with the Formula E team no longer existed. The CES exhibition will begin in just a few weeks, and the startup has nothing to surprise the public with. But the company, of course, will not die quietly - in mid-December the team announced that it had found another $1 billion for its development.” LeEco LeEco and Faraday Future are owned by Chinese entrepreneur Jia Yueting. “And LeEco is another big failure of 2017. The electronics manufacturer tried to enter the US market and made all sorts of promises, most of which were never realized. It seems that this is already a pattern,” writes Ars Technica. The LeEco device is in many ways reminiscent of the Alphabet holding device, the editors continue. The holding has a core business - the largest video streaming service in China, Lecom, the “Chinese Netflix”. The group of companies also includes the LeTV video service, the Le Vision Pictures film studio, the LeMusic music company, the LeRan Investment Management investment fund, the LeVR fund dedicated to the development of VR technologies, the LeMall online store and many other divisions. LeEco is a division of the holding that produces electronics: smartphones, TVs and other devices. In 2021, LeEco began making efforts to enter the US market. It announced a partnership with TV manufacturer Vizio, bought the land for its own headquarters from Yahoo for $250 million and said that it plans to build a kind of EcoCity on it for 12 thousand employees. In October 2021, the company held an event in San Francisco, where it announced its entry into the market and showed off its new products. A few days after the event, it became clear that the company had problems. In an internal letter to employees, CEO Jia Yueting said LeEco's plans were too ambitious and its resources were severely limited. The deal with Vizio was canceled, and LeEco itself refused to pay a $100 million penalty, which led to legal proceedings. The company also had to sell acquired land in San Francisco and cut 85% of its US workforce. At the end of December, a court in China seized more than 1.3 million yuan ($200 thousand) in Yueting's bank accounts and his other assets, including real estate. The American LeEco website has stopped working. About 60 people remain working in the American division of the company, writes Ars Technica. “And if the fate of the entire holding has not yet been determined, LeEco can definitely say goodbye to plans to enter the US market.” HTC HTC was included in Ars Technica's lists in both 2021 and 2021. In 2021, the company sold part of its business to Google for $1.1 billion. The proceeds from the sale could last the company for about 3.5 years, the editors of Ars Technica estimated. However, the deal means for HTC not only the receipt of funds, but also the loss of Google as a client, the publication continues. The company claims that it will continue to produce smartphones, but the loss of an entire division of 2,000 people, Ars Technica believes, cannot but affect business. HTC also has a VR division that develops HTC-branded Vive virtual reality headsets - together with the gaming one. Valve provides access to some technologies for free, the displays and lenses inside the helmets are created by Valve and Samsung. In addition, Valve is creating its own SteamVR platform, which will make it less dependent on HTC. Meanwhile, HTC's competitors are developing their own VR solutions - for example, the Facebook-owned Oculus project. In August 2021, Bloomberg reported that HTC was considering selling its Vive division. “Well, maybe HTC has the funds to continue to exist, but can you build a meaningful company with Google's money?” — concludes the editors of Ars Technica. SoundCloud In July 2017, the music service SoundCloud announced it was cutting 40% of its staff. The project management was never able to find a business model that would help him earn money. But in early August, the company talked about attracting a new round of investment and changing its CEO - former Vimeo executive Kerry Trainor became the new head of the company. Trainor plans to move SoundCloud away from the streaming model and toward a focus on creating tools for artists. The main question, according to Ars Technica, is whether the company will have time to start making money before it runs out of money. #[email protected]
