Thanks for taking time to write this article. I think far too little people remember downturns and don't realize that there are multiple instances when pre-IPO valuations are actually higher than post-IPO. Down rounds aren't uncommon. Also, it's fairly common to see stock prices go down immediately after IPO for the first few months.

I really like this style of article. It explains things in a shallow way with an enjoyable narrative. Thats also why books like the Pheonix project are so popular. If I want to know more about the divisions of the large banks I know what the context is and what terms to DDG. Great way to start start the day by learning something new. Cheers Vivek, looking forward to part 2.

Books like that are my favorite. Built to Sell by John Warrillow is a perfect example, and one that I really enjoyed. It teaches the reader how not to run a business via a fictitious story and really opened my eyes to all the things I was doing wrong in my business.

Please add "Part 1" to the title as per the original; sometimes these series (excellent start in this case) aren't completed, and this is a long read to invest (ha!) in.

I got all the way to the end to find it was only the first in the series, that should be indicated here.
