Surely a valuation is meaningless until you are able to actually have a liquidity event.
If it was me, I'd recognize that the Twitter hype is probably peaking about now, and it's a good time to quit and take some cash.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoit always looks like it's peaking if your growth is hyperbolic. whether or not they're idiots or geniuses is determined by the market. but if I was running twitter I would certainly take $150 million in cash. If you still want to run a company well now you have cash and a success under your belt. Funding should be an order of magnitude easier.
- axod 18y ago"it always looks like it's peaking if your growth is hyperbolic." Sure, but the fact we're even discussing $250m valuation for a company whos only real worth seems to be its users and possible future profit, should be a good pointer that this is a peak. Much like Facebook peaked.
- mattmaroon 18y agoTwitter's founders have already had a prior success. Funding is already easy for them. And if you would sell a company with that sort of traffic and growth for $150m, then I'm glad I'm not invested in it.
