CHAPTER



Dropbox may be taking another step in its very slow shuffle toward an IPO, and is now working with Goldman Sachs to prepare documents that could be filed as soon as this year, according to a report by Bloomberg .





The company is expected to hire Goldman Sachs as the lead advisor of the IPO process, according to the report. Getting another coveted "lead left” on the Dropbox IPO would be another feather in the cap for the bank, and another signal that Dropbox may finally start testing the waters of an initial public offering after years of uncertainty around its business. The company hit a $10 billion valuation riding a wave of euphoria around consumer startups earlier in the decade, but has since been frustrated by larger companies offering free file storage and sharing.





With its core consumer business rapidly approaching commoditization, Dropbox has had to differentiate itself with an additional portfolio of services and options. It’s started emphasizing its technology — specifically in terms of speed and simplicity — when observers have tried to draw comparisons between the company and other enterprise file-sharing services. Box is the most natural comparable on the market, which could potentially cause problems for Dropbox’s valuation as it seeks to go public .





A representative from Dropbox declined to comment.





To be sure, the company has been on a streak of touting its business successes. Earlier this year it said it hit a $1 billion revenue run rate on the strength of its growing business services. The company has also said it’s hit 500 million users. But in addition to having to fight the purely perceptual comparisons with Box and Microsoft, Dropbox has also had to compete on a product level as competitors gun for the same potential customer base.





To do that, Dropbox has been aggressively building its portfolio of business products and services. It launched its note-taking app, Paper, globally earlier this year. That also comes with another slew of updates to its business products and efforts in network expansion to further improve its pitch as a seamless and secure way to share and collaborate on files online apartments hong kong.





As usual, this seems part of the process of testing the waters — and Dropbox may inevitably end up pulling out of the process or going in a different direction. You tend to see these kinds of signals in most companies as they try to gauge whether the market would be interested in buying shares in the company at a good valuation. It may also be a time to be extra careful after Blue Apron’s disastrous IPO and Snap’s huge decline since going public.

Boy who died saving sister from rapist awarded

A seven-year-old boy who died defending his elder sister from a rapist has been honoured with an Order of Courage medal. Evgeny Tabakov’s mother Dream beauty pro hard sell picked up the award for her dead son.

The Head of the Investigative Committee at the Public Prosecutor’s Office, Andrey Bastrykin, recommended that Evgeny should get the award because of his bravery.

In November last year a convicted criminal broke into the apartment of the Tabakov family in the military town of Noginsk-9 in Moscow Region. He intended to carry out a robbery. Seven-year-old Evgeny and his twelve-year-old sister were at home at the time.

Finding nothing valuable to steal, the criminal decided to satisfy himself in a different way, by raping the girl.

But seven-year-old Evgeny had other ideas. The second grade pupil defended his sister from the attacker, an act of courage that cost him his life. The girl escaped but the attacker stabbed Evgeny with a knife eight times.

The next evening the 35-year-old would-be rapist was caught by an army officer, who was later awarded for this action.

"This tragedy shocked staff on the Investigative Committee at the Public Prosecutor’s Office – people who deal with death every day… But this case went beyond any norms”, Andrey Bastrykin said at the awards ceremony.

What little Evgeny Tabakov did was exceptional. Bastrykin said everything should be done to make sure the boy did not sacrifice his life in vain.

The boy’s school promised to erect a Dream beauty pro hard sell memorial in the school lobby telling Evgeny Tabakov’s story.

It also said only the best pupils would be allowed to sit in Evgeny’s old desk in his classroom.

The Governor of Moscow Region, Boris Gromov, who was present at the award ceremony, promised that the authorities will not abandon the boy’s family but will help them solve any problems they have.

A total of 2,330 children were injured in the same period, suffering either physical or mental stress or trauma that will have long-term consequences.

According to Bastrykin, the most disturbing fact is that crimes against children are on the increase.

More than 12,500 children remain missing and have been on search lists for some time. Police say it is very rare for them to be found alive. Most of them are either dead or being kept as slaves and are being abused.

Dealing with paedophiles
