[The Startup Investor] Wednesday, August 19, 2020 [Click here to read online]( Dear Startup Investor, Last week, the long-awaited news dropped that Airbnb is finally planning to file for an initial public offering (IPO) this month. The startup had planned to go public last year but backed out following flopped IPOs from other big names like Uber (NYSE: UBER) and Peloton (Nasdaq: PTON). But this year, COVID-19 shook up Airbnb's long-term plans, as their valuation sharply dropped from $31 billion to $18 billion. CEO Brian Chesky laid off 25% of his employees to cut costs - a tough but necessary decision. He also predicts that their 2020 revenue will be less than half of what it was last year. Considering these major hurdles, a successful IPO might just be the solution to get the cash flowing again and ultimately get Airbnb back on its feet. Here's what makes Airbnb the perfect case study when it comes to making a decision about a potential IPO. Their team has the hustle and intuition necessary to make it through just about any market condition possible... They were founded during the Great Recession, after all. And today, Airbnb's news is a great opportunity to discuss exactly why some companies choose to go public, while other companies choose to stay private. Let's get into it... and exactly [how you can take advantage]( of either scenario. [Just click here for the full scoop](.
