EstimateOur model or estimate. Treat it as an order of magnitude.

What this is

Press says the 2015 money came at a $175m valuation, C]. Dilution from the primary rounds, using a $3bn Series B post-money, a $3.7bn Series C pre-money + $245m, and $300m at $9bn, leaves 0.846 (option pools, the Feb 2016 $5m and preferences ignored).

The values

  • Retention through 2017 2019 2021 rounds: 0.846
  • 10m ticket share if 175m post: 4.84%
  • 10m ticket share if 175m pre: 4.03%
  • Nintendo payout share: 6.1 to 6.71%
  • Series A post money implied by Nintendo payout: $126–139m

Where it comes from

Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:

Show the working
  1. (1−200/3,000)(1−245/3,945)(1−300/9,000) = 0.846
  2. 10/175×0.846 = 4.84%
  3. 10/(0.061/0.846) = $139m
