BEHIND THE NUMBERS
What this scenario means for an investor.
This view scales your amount by a change in company valuation. It compares financing milestones; it does not calculate the return on actual shares.
- Your amount vs. the investment minimum
- Your amount sets the size of the illustration. It does not establish the minimum required to join that funding round.
- Access depends on the offering
- Investor eligibility and allocations depend on the offering’s terms. A recorded funding price does not mean everyone could invest at that price.
- Direct shares and fund units differ
- A direct share and a unit in a fund or investment vehicle can have different rights and costs. This scenario does not establish a specific investment route.
- A price is not a cash exit
- Lockups, transfer restrictions and available buyers can affect a holder’s ability to sell. The displayed value does not assume a sale.
See the data, sources & calculation
Ratio of issuer-reported company valuation headlines only. Pre-/post-money basis is not specified in the linked announcements, so comparability is limited. The result is not security performance or an investor return. Funding status remains as stated on each announcement date.
Calculation: Amount × (ending company valuation ÷ starting company valuation).

Published price precision is retained in calculations. A filing snapshot is not necessarily the investment date. These selected companies and stages do not represent typical private-market results; investments can lose their entire value.

These figures are company valuations, not prices you could necessarily buy or sell at. The unadjusted illustration assumes unchanged proportional participation. Historical dilution, security rights and access remain unknown.
WHEN YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER
The story behind Stripe
What this shows
A comparison of reported company valuations, not the return on an identifiable share.
The endpoint matters
The latest observation in this collection is dated Mar 15, 2023. It is not a claim about the current valuation. Or enter two comparable private share prices in a separate assumption scenario.
Read it realistically
Your amount is hypothetical. The evidence does not establish your investment minimum, eligibility or ability to sell.

Series H funding announcement ↗ · Announcement date, opening paragraphs and stated financing status
2021 funding valuation
Stripe announced $600 million of funding at a $95 billion valuation. Pre-/post-money basis is not explicit in this release; the value is not a per-share purchase price.
Source ↗2023 funding valuation
Stripe announced signed Series I agreements at a $50 billion valuation. Employee liquidity, taxes and share retirement make a simple shareholder-return inference inappropriate. Pre-/post-money basis is not explicit.

What additional research would unlock
A shareholder-return model would need comparable securities, prices, dilution and an appropriate exit or mark—not just company-level valuations.

What’s missing matters.
There are no daily private-market prices between these observations. We do not fill the gaps with an invented curve. Investment returns require the specific security, entry terms, dilution and an actual exit or appropriate mark.
