Interesting because according to crunchbase their $6M round with a16z was at a $22M Val. With a follow on debt financing, that indicates to me that they might have taken a down acquisition. Of course that was 2+ years ago. So if it was a 20M acquisition that means that the last two years of growth [2] wasn't good enough.

I guess because there wasn't too much growth for two years now? More or less stable after the main explosion of growth in early 2014.

Interesting to see the trend chart. At least PH kept their numbers over the past two years.
