Revenue growth: 51% YoY (2010), 1% YoY (2009), 131% YoY (2008). Historically more revenue came from distribution/lead-gen (57% in 2007), but this tipped in 2008 though appears to be steady from 2009 to 2010 at about 58% advertising and 42% distribution. Post-money valuation probably no higher than $12M (2). Series A-1 Preferred.

In the old days VCs funded off of a “pre-money” valuation. If you add the pre-money valuation (let’s say $8 million) to the amount of money you’re raising (let’s say $2 million) you get the post-money valuation. How much is in the option pool? Why do investors care about this?

In 2022, just as in 2009, there was only one IPO; typically, there are between three and 16 per year. Since the attractiveness of investments is also largely related to exit channels, this aspect affects the availability of capital and company valuation at every stage.
