      It's a profitable private company which is a far cry from the normal BS on HN.

      They apparently have over $100MM in revenue/year, so a $1BB valuation doesn't seem unreasonable.

      They have $350M in debt. Does $100M+ in revenue justify $650M worth of equity? Doesn't sound that crazy to me.
