The modern SV economy seems to be built around $100M seed rounds and valuations in the low billions, pre-launch.
- Rafuino 8y agoThe modern SV economy to which you refer is built around massive valuations with huge growth expectations ahead of a buyout or (less rare these days) an IPO. I don't see DDG going public anytime soon, and it's unlikely to be sold to a player like Google given ethical differences (or any other similar player given the modern SV economy is also primarily based on privacy violating business models). Thus, a $10M investment isn't small...it's more rational. At least that's my opinion!
