AppDynamics got acquired for $3.7B; a 99%-ile startup exit. Sounds like ppl who joined 2-3 yrs ago got equity =~ $300k-$400k over 4 years?

99%-exit => less than what someone joining a large public company with a competitive offer would have made over the same timeframe.

Obv. early employees did a lot better, but by definition there aren't many of those.

The execs did well. According to the now defunct S1, 12 of them had 63m shares. At $26/share that's $1.6B split 12 ways, or $137m per.

VCs seem to own at least another 66m shares, or $1.7B. So $3.3B of $3.6B to them, with the rest split between 1000 employees?

I don't really read finance documents on a regular basis. Would be curious to know if I have some kind of naive typo or error here.pic.twitter.com/SERHs2egoy

Whoops, the total was $3.7B not $3.6B, so there's one error already.

the $300k-$400k comes from backchannel communications, not the S1; just thinking out loud and trying to square the numbers.
