- mi100hael 10y agoNot on the same scale, but I remember reading an article a while back that compared the sales of TechCrunch & the Huffington Post. IIRC the founder of TechCrunch retained majority ownership so he made more than Arianna despite the Huffington Post selling for 10x as much.
- tedmiston 10y agoYou could run this query crudely on CrunchBase, I think on the free dev tier.
- oaktowner 10y agoNot quite in that range -- but Veeva Systems took a single, $4M round[0] and went public. Current market cap is $5.2B (and was about 15% higher immediately after their IPO). The founder's shares were worth north of $500M at that time.
