I think Henry did a pretty good job at explaining his methodology. He uses public and private comps for revenue multiples. Cites valuations in the case of private comps. It's certainly better than most of the random valuation speculations I read on Techcrunch.

- mechanical_fish 18y agoIt's certainly better than most of the random valuation speculations I read on Techcrunch. Very, very debatable. A back-of-the-envelope estimate on Techcrunch only wastes your time once. This endless stream of eternally-updating back-of-the-envelope estimates threatens to waste your time over and over again, as Fake Steve laughingly points out. The problem with these guesses is that they're dynamic, and the up-and-down movements in the guesses are essentially pure noise, which you are now being encouraged to inject directly into your brain. If tracking hourly movements of actual stock prices is a waste of time -- and it is -- than this is an even higher order of stupidity: It's a waste of a waste of time.
