Rumored to be valued at $400M from this $75M round. That's a huge amount of the company. They grewer from 600K users to 2.1M users in 2014. #bitcoin #startups #funding #coinbase #year:2015 #pub

Makes sense. Been 2.5 years. They have gotten bigger. Everything has for cryptocurrency. So more than doubling their valuation while only giving up 10% of company is really good. #bitcoin #startups #funding #coinbase #year:2017 #pub

I don't know why all the news has seemingly always been about Yahoo. Softbank owned and owns a ton of Alibaba too. And Softbank is actually a relevant, still successful company.

Coinbase is getting a crazy $1.6B valuation with only $100M being raised. 2.5 years ago in early 2015, they raised $75M at $500M or $600M valuation. #funding #unicorns #coinbase #massive #cryptocurrency #financial_software #payment_services #year:2017 #pub

Raised $75M at a rumored $500M or $575M or so. NOt a good article for getting fgunding info. Though the people who put in at least $1M is interesting. "Former Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit and former Thomson Reuters CEO Tom Glocer also made personal investments in the company. Armstrong said the company’s new strategic investors all put in at least $1 million." #coinbase #funding #massive #unicorns #cryptocurrency #financial_software #payment_services #year:2015 #pub

SoundCloud needs a shit load of funding to continue. The funding would give over 50% of the company to the funders. So basically the entire company at that point, like 80% would be owned by investors prob. They also recently laid off 40%. They want $169.5M at pre-money $150M valuation. So valuation of $319.5M. It was previously worth like $700M or so from total of $230M in funding. #soundcloud #music #music_streaming #bankruptcy #funding #pub

App-based dating service Coffee Meets Bagel has raised roughly $7 million in Series B funding, per an SEC filing. The funding values the San Francisco-based startup at about $82 million, according to a PitchBook estimate. " --- So are they worth $89M post-value? "French startup Happn has raised about $66 million from Raine Ventures, DN Capital and more. Hinge, which many accused Facebook of copying to build out its new dating feature, has pulled in roughly $26 million and was most recently valued at an estimated $75.5 million. Clover has about $11 million in VC backing and The League has raised about $3 million." --- "The business of romantic relationships has proven to be a lucrative one. Match Group, which owns a portfolio of dating services including Tinder, beat analyst estimates with revenue of about $379 million in 4Q 2017, per Reuters. Tinder's success contributed to the better-than-expected figure. The app, which is valued at an estimated $3 billion, added 1.5 million paid subscribers in 2017 and now has some 3 million paying users, also per Reuters." #online_dating #funding #coffee_meets_bagel #mobile_apps #startups #dating_industry #match_group #revenue #money #tinder #pub

“And it’s that tantalizing prospect of creating a next generation way of trading assets and cryptocurrency that is now sending Robinhood to a $5.6 billion valuation in a new financing round that the company is announcing today. Robinhood says it’s closed a $363 million Series D financing round; DST Global led this new round and Iconiq, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia and Capital G participated. Robinhood had a $1.3 billion valuation last year when it had around 2 million users, and the company says it now has 4 million users and has passed $150 billion in transaction volume.” I keep forgetting. Is that valuation pre or post investment. Either way. Around 7/7.5% of the company. #unicorns #fintech #robinhood #stocks #news #stock_market #funding #trading #pub

Worth $5.1B with a ton of funding already. Seems like after this round they have over a billion in funding if I’m understanding correctly? #money #year:2017 #valuations #softbank #slack #boss #funding #unicorns #pub
