1.16 billion of capital and 140 employees
6.0-7.0 billion valuation, estimated
In terms of profit per employee, you're looking at 50 to 100 million to 'break even' at that vauation
So, part of it is the $$ raised and part is the $$ valuation
Is it possible paint yourself into a box, strategically, if you take money at aggressive valuation?

Edit: Headcount data look out of date at TechCrunch. See comment below, this now ~1,000 not 140.
General direction of the comment is distilled, still as follows:
1) valuation is 7x invested capital
2) The invested capital is large, requires large exit
3) This is going to put pressure on the team ($10-15B exit?)
4) Thats a requires lot of $$/head for the team to bring in
