How did you come up with your business name? TRADECONDUCTOR – I came up with the name because CONDUCTOR means either a person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir. Question your level of ambition and decide on your valuation and values. Conductors are also the materials that permit electrons to flow freely.

I followed her writing and bought her AOL book back in 1999. Kidding aside, Swisher said, “dudes in Silicon Valley” do seem to have no trouble playing the game and picking up the inside lingo of pumped-up valuations and venture capitalist name-dropping.".

I tried a bunch of jobs: I taught fourth grade, worked at a nonprofit, and made an ungodly amount of money doing odd jobs at a dot-com because hey, it was 1999. And WIRED has an editor named Emily Dreyfuss who can clean up tough stories on security or business issues, and is also one of the funniest, smartest readers you’ll read.

Yes, it’s true that FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving some irrational behavior and valuations amongst uber competitive deals and well-financed VCs. In 1998 it was 150 million, 1999 250 million and by 2000 it had crossed 350 million. I’ve written in detail about that in this post, “ On Bubbles, And Why We’ll Be Just Fine.”.

I think we will see more of these in 2016 and beyond as IPOs are still far and few between and unicorns struggle to justify their stratospheric valuations. Another seed investment where something similar happened was the 2010 iControl Networks merger with uControl (yeah not a lot of creativity in naming.). Most never make it there.

One key to this population growth has been the remarkable ease of the Unicorn fundraising process: Pick a new valuation well above your last one, put together a presentation deck, solicit offers, and watch the hundreds of million of dollars flow into your bank account. If 1999 was a wet (read liquid) bubble, 2015 was a particularly dry one.

The largest unicorns include companies such as Uber, Xiaomi, Airbnb, Palantir, Dropbox, Pinterest, and Snap, and if we think back in time a bit to the name coined, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple, and so forth also come to mind. Imagine that. They can just go back to their investors for more capital.

Valuations were enormous relative to progress in companies. Companies with less than $2 million in revenue were asking for $50-60 million valuations and getting them. I spent my days meeting companies, figuring out what areas of the market interested me and trying to get a sense for how VCs thought about fair valuations.

The primary argument Chris is making is that Procore ended up at a better relative valuation (from his perspective) to its peers than did Squarespace, and that the clear reason this happened was the choice of an IPO (his preferred decision) over a Direct Listing (which he implies is a bad choice). Party A is locked up at time T+1.
