It worked out well enough for them to get an exit. DBX is unexciting, but it’s not a penny stock.

And Google and Microsoft do exactly that already.

That’s originally what I said, if you define “success” as the original investors being able to pawn a money losing company off on the public market, it could be successful.

But if you define success as a company that can actually turn a profit consistently, Dropbox is not a success.
