But growth is already slowing from 2018-2019 vs 2019-2020 period.

40% YoY growth for SaaS is par for the course, and the revenue figure is a bit light.

Not necessarily a home run in the public markets though if there's a time to do a tech IPO it's now given the frothiness of the market.

I've heard this term used a few times now - a "frothy market," or a "frothy startup," but I'm not familiar with it. What does frothiness mean in terms of markets?

Rapid growth software company with most of the sales coming product should have price/sales to be abowe 10-20 at least.

Should we expect $5 -10 billion market cap?

Sounds kind of mixed to me. What's going to enable them to turn an annual loss of ~$150M into a profit?

Unity turns into profit in the instant they stop seeking growth. Their annual losses are growing in line of their annual sales and marketing. Unity has year-over-year growth of 42%.
