Is it public money (IPO) or private money? This makes a difference.

The article says "convertible debt" and lists some investors. Google Ventures, Goldman Sachs, etc.

I know, I was referring to the bubble comments. If private money wants to value a company at a stupid high valuation, thats their prerogative.

If it was public money valuing this company, we'd definitely be in a bubble.
