Question says all
it depends on whether its market cap increases significantly before ipo
You could benefit if they give you extra stock to compensate for lack of liquidity but then you get liquidity soon after. You are taking the IPO risk/volatility
They won't at this point in time, but there is still more potential upside imo
Don't hold your breath for an IPO
Airbnb is pretty secure as a business. It can go IPO if it wants to, but it chose not to because it wants to achieve more. Employees joining now have lots of upside. It's generous still in terms of RSU grant. Not as generous as Uber right now, but sure as hell more of a surer thing, being within 10% of grants. Also: people here are great
How can you justify the 30$ billion valuation. You are years away at best
Valuations aren't a function of remaining time left to IPO. Valuation is based on the perceived current and future value of the business.
Years? Yes, but that is by choice. Going from quasi public data and thinking about the business overall: * $B top line revenue * Profitable * high margin business / low capex And yes, as @dYZX49 says, it's about the perceived current and future value of the business. Current competitors: Priceline, $90B valuation. Expedia $22B market cap. Is $30B so outlandish?
is Airbnb still growing? just being cheaper than hotels is not a good strategy.. since you attract low value customers.
Airbnb aims to capture the whole market with all its segments. More interestingly, Airbnb announced experiences, going into more than accommodations
