I’m not against big exits / valuations and showing the numbers. But… what would have added a bit of interest would have been real metrics. For example I believe AirBnB has 2 billion guest nights. Showing that instead of the ipo value is more impressive to people who want to deliver value rather than capture value.
Real world metrics would feel slightly more on brand than valuations
They should show real real world metrics, like the effect of short term rentals on the housing market, or how much of the food delivery fees go to the middleman.
