In video it's explained like "valuations are high, but it's not a bubble".
Would that mean their growth will stop at certain level for a longer period? I guess realization will need to meet expectation at some level. Expectation for Facebook are sure high, but I doubt it can go go for trillion valuation without multi^2 billion revenue.
Would love to hear more thoughts from Paul.
- mlinsey 16y agoAnother example from the video is that a 10M valuation for a startup isn't really saying the startup is worth 10 million, but rather that it has a 1% chance of reaching 1 Billion. One can actually look at Facebook the same way. One could argue that Facebook is competing with Google at being the primary way people discover information online, and at being a driver of incoming traffic. So one could say that Facebook's valuation with the GS investment reflects a belief that Facebook has around a 25% chance of becoming as valuable as Google.
