Amazon went public in 1997 with revenue of $16M in Q1 of that year. Its revenue was up a startling 1,800% or so YoY. Its losses were about $3M, so about 19% of revenue. Its market value at launch was about $438M, about 27x quarterly revenue.
Uber's Q4 2018 revenue was about $3B, up about 25% YoY. Its losses are a little hard to parse due to some tax shenanigans, but maybe $865M is about right (or maybe it should be worse), so 28% of revenue. Its market cap right now is around $85B, about 28x quarterly revenue.
