    Watching companies get crushed down to valuations barely above $75b on IPO day almost makes me want to quit being a VC. I hope the companies I work with that eventually face similar ordeals can find the strength to somehow persevere.https://twitter.com/Jessicalessin/status/1126972429673291776 …

        When your valuation hits $74b, just sell. I know it's tempting to go for more, but the stress isn't worth it.

        Uber is a really good example of how the tech industry is just a giant failure.

        With the fundamental product being the labor of drivers, is Uber even really a tech company?

        I think it would be different if they were profitable or had a path to profitability.

        Given today’s seed stage valuations, it seems like there’s basically no upside left.
