Cloudflare is going public

THE DAILY CRUNCH FRIDAY, AUGUST 16 2019 By Anthony Ha Cloudflare is going public, Apple sues a device virtualization company and Twitter invests in an Indian social network. Here's your Daily Crunch for August 16, 2019. 1.

In fact, the company went so far as to cite 8chan as a risk factor in its public offering documents. Even so, the company will likely be worth billions when it starts trading on the market. And we have to point out that Cloudflare actually made its debut on TechCrunch’s Battlefield stage back in 2010. [Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn (Cloudflare)-5] 2.

[Local governments are forcing the scooter industry to grow up fast]( For scooter startups, city regulations can make or break their businesses across nearly every aspect of operations, especially in two key areas: ridership growth and the ability to attract investor dollars.
