Being "acquirable" is one of the things you often forego at valuations like this.

Why ? Valuations are generally high these days and Big tech has the cash. If there’s a crash all valuations go down and they’re even more acquirable.

The acquisition doesn’t have to happen at these valuations for the investors to make money. See - Liquidation preferences
