Guys, Just got off the phone with Lyft. Coatue, Andreesen Horowitz and Mayfied have committed $100mm of the $150mm round. There will be a first closing next week. Coatue priced it at $700 pre. We can get an allocation of up to $25mm. Will and I think this can be a larger public company than Homeaway or Airbnb because this is a daily consumer purchase vs a vacation-driven one. This could also be the future of commuting. It is also a facebook integrated app--every user has to have a FB account, which is one of the reasons for the viral growth due to network effects. It is not out of the question to think that FB may buy them to add a significant revenue stream and diversify their revenue base. I could see every college graduate in America who does not have another job being a Lyft driver as a career right of passage. I think a 3x plus is possible at this growth profile. On the merits I think we will make money. I also think this is a marquee deal that would generate a ton of LP interest and help us get to our $250mm goal. IF we decide to go big here I want to make sure we are all on board and go to the mat to raise whatever we think we can raise for this deal. It would have to be on all of our front burners. Please let me know your thoughts.
