Funding 1% to existing shareholders to sell their bag while getting a $29B valuation is hilarious. Why was it ever started as a non-profit? What BS. Sam Altman keeps getting to fail upward and be unethical. Before it was a $14B valuation. I am guessing Microsoft doesn’t get any stake in the for-profit part. Only the deals they made to comingle when they gave $1B. #tech_companies #silicon_valley #silicon_valley_culture #patterns_insufferable_tech_douches* #AI #valuations #funding #toread

"CEO Shane Smith's goal of "total media domination" took a major step forward on Thursday with the announcement that Vice had raised $500 million in funding evenly split from A&E Networks and technology investment firm Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV). ... A&E and TCV each took 10% stakes in Vice, valuing the Brooklyn-based company at $2.5 billion. ... The move paves the way for Vice to appear on television screens across the U.S. A&E, a joint venture between Disney and Hearst Ventures, operates 10 cable channels including some with broad distribution.
