While those are definitely interesting numbers, it's important to understand that for rapidly growing companies, jobs and revenue are typically trailing indicators of success, while valuation is more of a leading indicator (though obviously not 100% reliable). For example, Google and Facebook both had high valuations long before they had high revenue or head count.
