NEW from @HeeterMaria @coryweinberg @annie_goldsmith + me: Celeb-backed fitness startup Tonal is looking for a buyer after scrambling to cut costs last yr. It closed several stores after spending major $$ on marketing featuring stars like Serena + Lebron: theinformation.com/articles/home-…
@HarryStebbings @foundersfund you should check out @CaplightData for unreal insights into private market trading activity 👀
It used to be the case that companies undervalued themselves on a #409A basis, now internal valuations often represent the actual market value. What does this mean for startup employees? Thank you to @HeeterMaria for featuring Caplight in your latest analysis!

NEW: TikTok owner ByteDance's e-commerce volume (GMV) in China grew 76% to 1.41 trillion yuan ($208B) in 2022. TikTok's GMV in Southeast Asia more than quadrupled to $4.4B. TikTok is planning e-commerce push in U.S., Brazil, Spain, Australia this year. theinformation.com/articles/tikto…
This is incredibly cool. That’s not just because I have a niche geekiness about this from my time in the secondary markets — but that does give me unique appreciation for how hard this is to pull off. Proud to be backing @JavierCAvalos, Justin Moore, and the @CaplightData team!
In the secondary markets, unicorns were trading at an avg of 19% above their last round at the beginning of the year. Today they are trading at a 41% discount, which I suspect would be higher but no one wants to sell at the actual clearing price. data from @CaplightData

Fintech valuations are down across the board but some companies are getting hit worse than others. One well-known startup saw its valuation creep up over $200 billion on the secondary market last year before dropping 61%. Find out who below ⬇️🧐

It irks me that Startup Valuation trends are usually self-perpetuating (i.e. investors letting the trend broadly shape future valuations) so glad to see @rebecca_szkutak and @CaplightData shedding light on the exceptions. #StartupValuation #Fundraising
