One major thing changed - liquidity. It’s value is now set by millions of investors instead of a handful of VCs. Public valuation and acquisition valuation are the only valuations that matter

Both were public valuations

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to their swing in valuation right before they went public.

Also, dropbox isn’t a start up. I can’t classify companies that are over 10 years old as still being start ups, even if they are private. You’re just another private companies if you’re that old.

a whole lot changed. Accountability, transparency, liquidity, the ability for institutional investors to take over and control, publicity of strategy, etc... you assume valuation is an inner reflection, while its usually almost entirely contextual

Valuation is an okay metric if you are the founder and your goal is getting rich. But as a measure of a business -- yeah, it is fairly meaningless. Also, Dropbox is 10 years old. I do that think we can still call it a startup.

It’s a liquidity premium. Liquidity means everything- company worth 33% more because investors can move in or out at will.

I changed. I'm a paying customer. And with that my whole world has changed. No hard disks, backups. Availability. No limit. Connected to whatever. Who talks about money, I'm taking about value.

I don't think the start ups will be complaining. As long as the figures are rising.
