The 25 Most Valuable Startups

So, Mint is probably way undervalued and nearly all of the others are way (way way way! holy crap!) overvalued. Billions for Habbo and Linden? Seriously? 400mil for Slide?

But, I got a chuckle out of Ning's valuation, given that they raised roughly the same amount about a week ago...so they literally have as much cash on hand as Alley Insider has valued them at. So, the business is worthless in their eyes. Interesting. (I think the valuation of Ning during that round of financing was wildly out of whack, but it's certainly worth something.)

Ning raised $60 million, at a pre-money of $500 million, so the post-money valuation of $560 million on Alley Insider is accurate.

Ah, I stand corrected (by nearly an order of magnitude). That makes a lot more sense than the numbers I had running around in my head.
