Wow, they raised 500 million at a 2.5 billion valuation, but now has their value estimated by some analysts at 450 million. And that's with a not-too-shabby quarterly revenue of 22 million. This highlights what a terrible position unprofitable companies that rely on funding are in right now in this market.

Looking at only revenue is usually criticized for being too generous. What other factors should be considered in this case? (That said, a 10x multiple is more conventional for fintech. That clocks them around $900mm.)
