Poll: pick top 3 pre IPO companies to join in 2021
Collected current valuations to help you pick the top 3 companies that offers the most upside: Better ($4B), Blend ($3.3B), ByteDance ($180B), Chime ($14.5B), Databricks ($28B), Coinbase ($8B), Confluent ($4.5B), Discord ($7B), Figma ($2B), Flexport ($3.2B), Hashicorp ($5.1B), Mindgeek (?), OnlyFans ($1.2B), Plaid ($5.3B), Reddit ($6B), Robinhood ($40B), Roblox ($29.5B), Samsara ($5.4B), StockX ($2.8B), Stripe ($36B), Transferwise ($5B), UiPath ($35B). Note: both Stripe and Databricks provide dollar denominated equity (i.e., it mitigates downside risk but there's no growth potential) so if you do vote for these 2, please write a comment why you did that.
Coinbase, SoFi, Hashicorp
Sofi is public kinda
Does anyone here know anything about quantum metric? Supposedly a unicorn too
Rivian
How much upside after latest valuation. Plus their rules of RSU are tight. You can lose even vested RSU if you leave / fired before IPO. No bonus or refreshers.
surprised coinbase is so high, are they actually a good company to work for? or are people voting on the fact that their IPO will probably rocket their valuation higher?
After what happened to Uber I’m not sure if companies that are so huge and private would actually see their stocks rocketing upon IPO, at least in the short term.
in the current market, I think even huge companies IPOing will see their valuation move up materially just look at snowflake, airbnb, etc... literally doubling their valuation after IPO and more
Fintech is so hot right now.
no Rubrik? 😳
No Applovin?
Why databricks is high? The market leader Snowflake is around 80B so that should be the near/mid term ceiling
How is sf the market leader? We are in different TAMs (for now).
Outside of notebooks, Snowflake does most of what DB does and does it much better. And your notebooks are not very good.
Why stripe is high? They are raising fund at 70B to 100B market cap .Upside significantly reduced if not exhausted already.
Stripe basically pays cash with their grant structure anyway. But offers are quite high.
Then what’s the point of joining a pre-ipo company
TransferWise not in the poll!
There’s a limit of 20 companies unfortunately.
Transferwise is now only Wise
