#65 What does a market crash mean for design (and business) community?

The prices of tech companies have fallen dramatically. Facebook, Netflix, Google, Apple, and Amazon are all down between 20 and 80% since their record highs. Yikes.

In this Business Design Jam, we talked about:

  • why Netflix’s stock price is down almost 80%,

  • and what Netflix can (and plans to) do about it.

In the episode, we also mentioned the profit tree, described in detail in this guide.
