This is incredibly cool.
That’s not just because I have a niche geekiness about this from my time in the secondary markets — but that does give me unique appreciation for how hard this is to pull off.
Proud to be backing @JavierCAvalos, Justin Moore, and the @CaplightData team!

In the secondary markets, unicorns were trading at an avg of 19% above their last round at the beginning of the year.
Today they are trading at a 41% discount, which I suspect would be higher but no one wants to sell at the actual clearing price.

Fintech valuations are down across the board but some companies are getting hit worse than others.
One well-known startup saw its valuation creep up over $200 billion on the secondary market last year before dropping 61%. Find out who below ⬇️🧐

It irks me that Startup Valuation trends are usually self-perpetuating (i.e. investors letting the trend broadly shape future valuations) so glad to see @rebecca_szkutak and @CaplightData shedding light on the exceptions.

Startup valuations are declining — but not consistently

"Some started to drop off in 2021, before the public markets tanked, and others are still seeing their valuation creep up." - @rebecca_szkutak
