Zero-Day Market
NOTES: A Winter's Journey into the Void: Palo Alto's $25 Billion Failed Culture Project

Zero-Day Market
NOTES: The $112 Billion Banana Stand
The $112 Billion Banana Stand: CrowdStrike's Gilded Cage is a Death Trap Right. It’s 4:27 AM in Austin, the air is thick enough to chew, and the coffee is actively vituperative. On the screen, CrowdStrike (CRWD) is floating at a $112 billion valuation, propped up by
