After seeing #Airbnb, #Doordash, and #SnowFlake IPOs (Huge congratulations to all of them), the idea of joining a startup is very tempting to me because of my financial situation even though all the risk it comes with.

NVIDIA n6gsj67v Feb 12, 2021

The deal was called off.. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN29H2UL

OnePlus Scotlad Feb 11, 2021

A bit left field but Zwift could be huge if it goes down the peloton route! Currently $1b valuation and growing like crazy.

Airtable u silly Feb 11, 2021

Airtable is first on the list and rightfully so. We may face the most competition, but we have the highest growth opportunity out of all those other ones (besides stripe).

Google ML SWE Feb 11, 2021

Why a high growth opportunity?

UiPath UiPatch Feb 11, 2021

Lol op just listed like every private company in alphabetical order

Microsoft sreeee Feb 11, 2021

Bytedance, Stripe, and UiPath are head and shoulders above the others in current valuation. You can interpret that as less potential upside, or way more hype potential on IPO day. Epic games isn't on the list and may be heading for a big 2021 IPO.

Airbnb kalypso Feb 12, 2021

Does it matter if there's hype potential on IPO day if it's not sustainable until lock up?
