Party IPO - The Smartest Poker Players in History?

Matt,

The total valuation will be well more than 12 times their earnings. Also, the founders are keeping 40% shares of the company. They can diversify the other 20% of their assets which is probably a good move because there is a lot of risk in their business.

Edit:

This also allows them to reward their employees with stock options and early access to the shares. My assumption is that this was part of their decision.
