- TigeriusKirk 4y agoWith Coinbase ipo'ed and Instacart about to ipo, that's not a bad batch from a purely investment perspective.
- killerdhmo 4y agoCoinbase? they're down 80% since their IPO (I am a shareholder); I suppose if the checkbox is "they IPOd" then sure.
- platelminto 4y agoI mean, that’s a pretty big checkbox regardless.
- kojeovo 4y agoShareholder since IPO vs when YC invests
- mcguire 4y agoIs YC still an investor?
- lejohnq 4y agoDown 80% from IPO but with a market cap above 10 billion. Compared to when YC invested I think that’s still pretty good
- PeterisP 4y agoInvestors generally cash out at IPO, so if IPO price was 5x the real/current value, then that was a very, very profitable deal for the early investors.
