Scooter companies often seem indistinguishable, with their monosyllabic names (Scoot, Skip, Spin) and identikit hardware.

You’ve heard of Big Tech, because how could you not? Here you are, reading this on the internet. You may have come to it through Facebook or Google, and you are likely scrolling through it on an Apple or Android device (Google’s mobile operating system).

Quartz at Work editor Heather Landy and reporter Alison Griswold discuss the dissolution of the We Company and the end of the reign of Adam Neumann.

We are witnessing the WePlosion.

Electric-scooter company Bird said today it has raised $275 million in fresh funding at a $2.5 billion valuation, bringing its total financing to about $700 million.
