>Microsoft only paying 7.5 billion for GitHub definitely makes me less confident that GitLab is worth 10 billion.

It's worth considering that between 2018 and now, tech valuations have exploded. MSFT is up 300%. QQQ is up 100%. I doubt GitHub is valued anywhere near 7.5B today.

It's also worth noting that projected value is not the same as sale value, so the two aren't that helpful to compare.
