With fewer than 10 employees but almost $2-billion dollars in the bank, they plan on jumping right in. What matters to investors now is to drive startup valuations into unicorn territory (valued at $1 billion or more) via rapid growth – usually users, revenue, engagements but almost never profits. And it may work.

In theory when you went public, everyone’s shares were now tradable on the stock exchange, but usually the underwriters required a six month “lockup” when company insiders (employees and investors) couldn’t sell. The valuations for acquisitions were nothing like the Internet bubble, but there was a path to liquidity, difficult as it was.

And most importantly, you have your customers that you want to sell your product or service to. Thankfully my team members always have.

In fact, Google’s offer for $15 Million was equal to the highest valuation from the venture firms. They used Customer and Agile development to search for a scalable and repeatable business model to become a large company. They hired a world-class team with co-founders and early employees who shared their vision.
