The article alludes to $169.5M raised at a pre-money valuation of $150M. I'm not sure I've ever seen a round like this take over 50%. Who knows what the future of the company will be, but one thing is for sure: it's completely investor-controlled now.


Wasn't the valuation at more than 700 million some time ago? What are all the consequences of dropping the valuation from 700m to 150m? Any ideas?


Dilution as usual. The last investors, whom I believe invested at a higher valuation, have had their liquidation reduced. The founder shares are probably highly diluted; I can't imagine the founders owning more than 10% combined.
