I'm not knowledgeable in this area, but I think it's telling that SoftBank is the same people who gave a dog walking startup a 300M valuation: https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/30/on-demand-dog-walking-app-...

Note, the _investment_ was 300M, meaning the valuation was actually higher than that! According to Crunchbase:

> Wag has a post-money valuation in the range of $500M to $1B as of Jan 30, 2018 according to PrivCo.

VC valuations are a solid argument against the wisdom of private markets
