Let’s say you join Airbnb in the spring. How much stock would you need to make $1M US post-IPO, assuming you’re somehow fully vested when the IPO happens?

Is this even possible this soon pre IPO? It seems most people think the IPO is 2019 or 2020.

Put another way, what do you think the stock valuation multiple will be post IPO?

      Lol. What about a friend of an Airbnb employee?

      I’m considering trying to join but wondering if it’s too late now to make significant IPO bank.

      You’re asking us to predict the stock price of a company more than a year from now. If you can do that, you’ll be very rich.

      The last known valuation is public knowledge. Around $33B I think. The current share price is irrelevant to your question.

    I’m not sure how RSUs work for private companies are you given a quantity in dollars or what percentage of the overall company ? Let’s say their valuation is 60billion you’d need about .0017% to make a million. But then pay taxes of course. If they are giving you a dollar amount they might just give you that dollar amount when the ipo happens translated into shares then you have to hope that goes up to a million? I’m not sure you’ll have to check your the contract.
