Seems like a pretty good investment thesis (especially if they were truly ahead of the curve here).

Except I doubt the last bullet is accurate. I'd be very surprised to find that even 10% of tech IPOs have significant preferred investors not subject to a lock-up. Underwriters really, really don't like holders (even small ones, but especially big ones) being able to sell right off the bat. And if the market is flooded with VC investors dumping shares just after the offering, then there may well be no "pop" to participate in.
