Tech Valuations

Apple - $620 billion
Alphabet - $550 billion
Microsoft - $450 billion
Facebook - $370 billion
Uber - $70 billion
Baidu - $63 billion
Airbnb - $30 billion
HP - $26 billion
LinkedIn - $25 billion
Snapchat - $25 billion (6 years from start-up to IPO)
Twitter - $15 billion
Weibo - $11 billion

Note: For new start-ups, they should try to take value from the top guys like Apple, Alphabet, Google, Microsoft, Facebook. That's where there is more value - running in 100s of billion dollars.

What could eventually happen is fragmentation of revenue streams of top players - just like new companies got created to address each segment of craigslist.


Snapchats revenue multiple at IPO could be higher than other technology start-ups

Snapchat - 24.2 times 2017 estimated revenue of $1bn
Facebook - 19 times revenue
Twilio - 18 times revenue
Alibaba - 13 times revenue
Twitter - 13 times revenue
Nutanix - 8 times revenue
