Ouch, number 2 employee at Pinterest - a $10 billion company that’s about to go public this year.

He probably would have been worth an easy 100-200 million.

I prefer not to do the math.

I can't begin to imagine what that must feel like, but I gotta say, your kind of company (i.e. non-VC-funded, don't care about the unicorn status, just serve the customers well) is the kind I'd like to do one day. The vision and values just align with me so much more than hypergrowth and whatever it takes to get there. Many hats off to you for making all the decisions you did to keep your customers first. It may not be worth much, but you have my respect forever.
