Just a note: Uber's valuation was higher in 2015 than it is right now...

No inside info on Uber, but it is common for options at private companies to have strike prices considerably below reported valuations, which is proper (and adjudicated by a third party) considering the reported private valuations usually based on preferred shares that come with extra rights. That said, I dunno what year Uber switched to RSU’s, which would make this moot.

It was $40b at start of 2015 and was rumored to be at $50b mid 2015. It's $53b currently.

That said with dilution, it's likely 2015 share price is less than it is today.

What's the point of a value if you can't realize it in any way ?
