Is it good to invest in Flexport pre-ipo at 5 bln valuation?

Equity Zen has pre-ipo shares of Flexport at 5 bln valuation. 1. Is it a good price to invest at or overpriced? 2. What are the growth prospects? Will it grow to say, 20 bln market cap? 3. Is the ipo near? Say within 2 years?

Close to IPO is probably a bad time to invest in a tech company. It seems we are in VC valuation bubble (looking at most recently IPOed tech unicorns)

3 years away from IPO at least. 5 bln is fair/spot on. 20 bln would be a huge disappointment.

Thanks. Do you think it will grow more than 5bln valuation in 3 years before ipo? Or it is too risky to invest at 5 bln now?

Debatable how close we are to IPO. Definitely 3 years+ and several big initiatives. Strap in for the ride!

@op did you invest?

Yeah. I did at 5 bln valuation. Then equityzen had another offering at 4 bln valuation. Don't know what the latest state is.

Approximately when was the $4b offer?
