When these companies were at a similar life stage, (ie going from ~$100M to ~$300M in revenue) they had very different private market valuations.
Snapchat = $16B
Facebook = $10B
Twitter = $8B
The question for me is whether one is over-valued or were the other two under-valued?
Here are some tweets below with links to the data.
