Zoom had a once-in-a-lifetime moment — and they blew it. At its 2020 peak, Zoom’s market cap soared past $150B. They were printing money, everyone was using them, and they had massive brand momentum. They could’ve: – Acquired breakout startups (Loom? Figma?) – Doubled down on product UX – Built a full stack workplace suite – Become the OS for remote work Instead? – The product stagnated – Competitors caught up (Google Meet, Teams) – Growth flatlined – Stock is down ~85% from peak It’s a case study in what not to do when you become the default. Lesson: Momentum is perishable. Spend your peak wisely.
