Valuation Evolution and Market Capitalization
This chapter explores the changing landscape of how companies announce their valuations and funding amounts, tracing the origins of this trend to Dropbox in 2011 and the rise of the 'unicorn' term in 2013.

They also highlight real-world examples of acquisitions that demonstrate how actual purchase prices often exceed market cap, revealing the potential pitfalls of relying solely on valuation figures.
