Thread regarding 2U Inc. layoffs

Private equity

Yes, private equity (PE) firms are required to sell the businesses they buy at some point in order to return profits to their investors and the firm. This is known as the buy-to-sell approach and is fundamental to private equity.

What will these new owners do to make 2u make more money and appealing for sale? The whole idea is to make operational efficiencies, which usually mean cuts. I’d like to hear what people think as possible scenarios as a result.

All offices will be shut down except for a HQ location. Outsourcing to SA will continue and operations in the USA will likely consolidate in one location.2

I agree. It will be sold off with a possible name change and all offices will be shut down give or take two or three nation wide. SA is safe

Sell it off, piece by piece, and bury the name in an unmarked grave.
