Path to unicorn and beyond

Was excited by flash today, so I’ve been doing somecomparisons between LVT and previous/current high growth and high value stocksin tech.

Xero comparison creates some compelling reading, their FY10-FY12position is very similar to LVTs last 2 years, only main difference is LVT isgrowing at a much quicker rate.

NB Xero was valued at $429M at same ARR point (LVT currently$190M)… then Xero went to $1.3B market cap, then $4B in the 2 following FYs atgrowth rates of ~90% (well under LVT current growth rates of 200%+).

Xero currently sitting at $6B market cap.

Canva is private, but in their last raise, at ARR of ~$22Mthey had a valuation of over $1B and they’ve been around for twice as long as LVTto get to the same point, ie a valuation multiple of ~50.

Always some subtle differences in every stock and associatedanalysis.

Does anyone have any other statistical analysis/insights to compliment my analysis? Are they on track like my research shows?
