The biggest story in the world of IPOs this week is the end of the saga surrounding We Company's failed offering. The company, with its flagship WeWork, fully withdrew their IPO on September 30. The company was watched closely by investors since its filing on August 14 with an offering amount of $1 billion, far below its private valuation of $47 billion. The failure of WeWork and the We Company to go beyond private business is critiqued to be the end of the "Unicorn" era.
