What's Next｜科技早知道S6E11｜去年扩招今年倒闭，手握 1 亿融资的独角兽 Fast 说没就没？从 Fintech 当红炸子鸡到初创反面典型，Fast 为什么成了硅谷倒闭速度最快的独角兽？自当地时间 3 月 29 日开始，科技媒体 The Information 接连放出针对金融科技初创独角兽 Fast 的猛料，包括但不限于公司融资失败、大面积裁员、创始人涉嫌欺诈等等。而早在今年二月，NPR 就针对 Fast 饱受争议的创始人 Domm Holland 刊发了长篇报道，细数了 Holland 在创立 Fast 之前涉嫌敲诈航空公司、威胁澳洲政府的种种劣迹。4 月 6 日，Fast 在推特正式宣布了企业停止运营的消息。
本期节目，主播 Diane 、徐皞、刘灿与大家一起回顾 Fast 所引起的争议，共同思考这样一家问题重重的企业，是如何抱上市值 950 亿美元行业大佬 Stripe 的大腿，一跃成为成长速度最快，也是垮台速度最快的硅谷独角兽？为什么同赛道的 Bolt 年初成功募资3.5亿美元？Holland 的所作所为，到底是诈骗，还是红海赛道下商业创新的「行为艺术」？Fast 所处的一键结算领域为什么不是 Paypal、Stripe 等支付巨头的天下？
这期节目制作完有种预感，Fast 可能是继 Wework、Theranos 之后，下一个被搬上银幕的对象？
友情提示：本期节目的第一段对话中，由于 co-host 刘灿在结束户外鸟类声音录制后没能及时调整收音设备的增益，导致部分对话存在音质瑕疵，后期已努力修补，收听第一部分时不建议使用耳机收听，感谢各位听众的理解 :-）

徐皞，硅谷连续创业者、高管、投资人、斯坦福商学院客座讲师，「科技早知道」主播，推特账号（@H0wie_Xu），公众号（硅谷云）
刘灿，「科技早知道」监制
主要话题
[03:35] 回顾媒体眼里 Fast 从 0 到 1 再到销声匿迹的故事
[11:28] 创始人通过域名欺诈获得第一桶金，OK吗？找到关键人物是创业重点
[22:23] Fast 营销策略都是为了创始人自己开心？
[31:39] Fast 业务快速拓展有没有借力 YC、Stripe 裙带关系？
[40:55] 内部视角里 Fast 是什么样的？
[47:26] Bolt 做对了什么？Shopify 才是 Fast 的竞对？
[57:06] 裁员也没办法解决 Fast 的问题
更正说明
针对 Fast 所处的赛道，主流报道有同时使用「one-click payment」和「one-click checkout」两种表述，在与 Howie 及 Fast 相关员工交流之后，我们倾向于使用「one-click checkout」来形容 Fast 的业务，即一键结算，对于第一段对话出现的「one-click payment」说法在此作出更正。
