> No what's driving much of the valuations is the biggest leap in human technology since the internet and skyrocketing revenues as a result That is a 1999-like bubble and how you get 75 - 90% of these companies crashing when the music stops. > Private companies soaring to $100m ARR in 12 months is commonplace now.
