This week on The Synopsis, we talk about a recent memo, "The Future of Ecommerce That Wasn’t: An In-depth Look into What Went Wrong with Wish".

In this conversation we talk about Wish and what lessons we cannot draw from their lack of success. We also talk about our LTV and financial analaysis, as well as what Wish's value prop was compared to other competitors.
