Most people own a fraction of their home, and hold a mortgage that is largely backed by the value of the home.

- staunch 13y agoWhen you buy a house you agree to pay 100% of the agreed upon valuation. Investors in Snapchat are only buying a few percent at this valuation. This is what it looks like to me: Step 1) Buy 30% of a company at a $5 million valuation. Step 2) Buy (or hopefully convince dumber investors to buy) 5% at a $3 billion valuation. Step 3) Tell Yahoo to acquire you for at least $5 billion since your last raise was at $3 billion and you want your dumb investors to be happy. Step 4) Cash your billion dollar check.
