Based on the S-1, Box is growing at 100% YoY and has retention / upsell of 134%. These are world class numbers. If they can keep that momentum, that $200k could grow substantially over the years to come. It could be much better than holding Google stock or getting a Google sign-on bonus. Not sure why everyone is so focused on the IPO value; the IPO is just a fundraising milestone, not an end point to exit.

200k is 200k. It'll be on the public markets. If you think it'll go up a lot, you are welcome to put your own money in it.
