## What this supports

The filing table rounds issuance prices to cents; results are approximate. The table date does not establish an investment date. Preferred converts 1:1 into Class B; each Class B is convertible to one Class A share. Secondary employee share sales are excluded. No additional split or holder-specific conversion adjustment is applied. IPO offering-price mark only, not realized proceeds or proof of investment access.

## Limitations

- Historical research and hypothetical arithmetic, not live quotes, investment advice or an offer to invest.

- Company valuation changes are not shareholder returns. Financing, dilution, security rights and exit access matter.

- IPO offer-price marks are not realized sale proceeds; minimum investments and access are not established.

- User-entered prices and valuations are assumptions, not sourced observations. Fee and carry treatment is stated by each method; taxes and distributions are excluded.

- Selected surviving companies are not representative of private-market outcomes; investments may lose all value.
