The deal values Hugging Face at $12.9B. While the terms and details of the deal have not yet been confirmed, I wanted to take a preliminary look at this employee outcome. The 0.1% grant ($80k dollar value at time of issue) is being modeled from the Dec 2019 Series A round. For contrast, the same grant taken at their 2023 Series D would only be at ~2.8x in this deal. You'll notice it's been some time since they made their last fundraise. The company's been quite disciplined. Roughly $400M raised ever, halting in 2023. ~$200M of it still unspent, and revenue at a $100M run rate as of June. The sale is 32x every dollar of capital they ever raised, which I like as a measure of how much capital is returned relative to taken in. A lot of companies have great exits, but they've raised much more than they exit for, typically meaning a poor outcome for investors / employees. The calculation factors in 26% dilution over 7 years, as well as assuming the grant being held in full (fully vested, no refreshers, nothing sold along the way). 🔗 View Quoted Tweet
