Sure did grab my eyeball, down round for a company that effectively was invincible--and I met the guy, I met pc (his username here)--but full on unblemished trajectory, totally monotonic. Never heard one bad thing about him, except in my inner monologue like biting the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which I do for everyone, and just barely bad, not morally bad, just unfavorable for me in particular, meaningless.

Tells you how hardcore this depression is, more than anything. In particular worse for the companies than for the leaf-node employees.

It's not a down round, which implies that they raised money at this valuation. It's a 409a valuation.

They didn’t raise at that number it’s just the new 409a value which is fine by a outside firm.

Maybe caught your eyeball but not your brain. Your word soup doesn't hide your inability to form coherent thoughts, in fact it highlights it.

Fair.
