40x valuation seems crazy, even in 2022. Is this the new norm, or is AngelList Venture an exception?

40x of ? they don't have any disclosed revenue numbers .

$100m/ $4B is not 40x valuation it is just that they are diluting only 2.5% for that $100m . It just means they need only relatively small amount money and are in good spot financially and can afford to dilute very less.

Had they raised $500m on $4B post or $1B on $4B post the valuation is not changing to 8x or 4x.

Why should they raise more than they need because their valuation is high? Should they raise $200m if the valuation is $8B ? If they need only $100m in capital , they only need to only dilute that much.

I'm confused by AngelList's corporate structure. Venture is a separate company that raises money on its own, ProductHunt belongs to a separate holding company[0] — what even is "AngelList" now? [0]: https://writings.prologue.xyz/introducing-prologue/

The company split in two about a year and a half ago (maybe more?) into hiring and venture.

I am still salty about a ban AngelList applied on my profile after I reported a (supposedly) CEO of a Los Angeles startup for insulting me when I rejected an invitation to join them. Instead of banning this person’s account, they banned mine. Interestingly, AngelList still sends me emails saying “[User] is interested in your profile”, even though I can’t log into the platform anymore. The unsubscribe button doesn’t even work.
