you should check out @CaplightData for unreal insights into private market trading activity 👀


It used to be the case that companies undervalued themselves on a #409A basis, now internal valuations often represent the actual market value. What does this mean for startup employees? Thank you to @heetermaria for featuring Caplight in your latest analysis!

This is incredibly cool. That’s not just because I have a niche geekiness about this from my time in the secondary markets — but that does give me unique appreciation for how hard this is to pull off. Proud to be backing @JavierCAvalos, Justin Moore, and the @CaplightData team!

In the secondary markets, unicorns were trading at an avg of 19% above their last round at the beginning of the year. Today they are trading at a 41% discount, which I suspect would be higher but no one wants to sell at the actual clearing price. data from @caplightdata

It irks me that Startup Valuation trends are usually self-perpetuating (i.e. investors letting the trend broadly shape future valuations) so glad to see @rebecca_szkutak and @CaplightData shedding light on the exceptions. #StartupValuation #Fundraising

Startup valuations are declining — but not consistently ➡️ techcrunch.com/2022/12/01/sta… "Some started to drop off in 2021, before the public markets tanked, and others are still seeing their valuation creep up." - @rebecca_szkutak #StartupValuation #VC #Fundraising #Startups
