Worth noting that "A spokeswoman for Spark Capital disputed the accuracy of the report"
Privco were the same guys who did the LivingSocial hatchet job a while ago which was proven inaccurate. Privco's MO seems to be wild claims to generate interest in their private company data.
It seems even major publications think Privco's claims and data are not very good. Here's a tweet from TechCrunch and AllThings D editors questioning the integrity of the company and their data - https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/336949975634296833
For those interested, I have found VCExperts data to be better for this type of shareholding info (not affiliated with the company) and definitely less sensationalist.
Unrelated to Privco, a big congrats to USV - disciplined, open and truly thesis driven - not just chasing what is the hot thing of the moment.
