Plaid's ~10x rev. multiple is a slight premium to public comps and the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF, likely due to Plaid's revenue growth (20% YoY vs 7% average for comps). See more public comps benchmarking on Caplight: platform.caplight.com/signup x.com/pitdesi/status…

NEW from @HeeterMaria @coryweinberg @annie_goldsmith + me: Celeb-backed fitness startup Tonal is looking for a buyer after scrambling to cut costs last yr. It closed several stores after spending major $$ on marketing featuring stars like Serena + Lebron: theinformation.com/articles/home-…
@HarryStebbings @foundersfund you should check out @CaplightData for unreal insights into private market trading activity 👀
It used to be the case that companies undervalued themselves on a #409A basis, now internal valuations often represent the actual market value. What does this mean for startup employees? Thank you to @HeeterMaria for featuring Caplight in your latest analysis!

NEW: TikTok owner ByteDance's e-commerce volume (GMV) in China grew 76% to 1.41 trillion yuan ($208B) in 2022. TikTok's GMV in Southeast Asia more than quadrupled to $4.4B. TikTok is planning e-commerce push in U.S., Brazil, Spain, Australia this year. theinformation.com/articles/tikto…
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. data from @CaplightData

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. #StartupValuation #Fundraising

Startup valuations are declining — but not consistently tcrn.ch/3FhqqZ2 via @TechCrunch
@nicholastreece FWIW - private market valuations lag public, as they did on the way up. Flat line is bc most companies are not raising capital (thus valuation doesn’t adjust). Many have adjusted their 409A valuation down, but that data is not public and thus not captured in charts like this. 🤞
