Creator here (I put together the data for FeeFighters, and KissMetrics designed it)... I DO have the view that we're not in a bubble at the moment, but I went into this exercise without much of a view on it... I didn't cherry pick the data at all, I just threw in everything I could think of (hence the length!) Certainly some things now do feel like a bubble. I wanted to put in a section of particularly bubblicious fundings, but the only one I could come up with was Color.
I don't remember the last bubble all that well... I was SHOCKED when reading up on it to make this graphic. Shit was crazy back then, companies literally got funded over a shitty plan on a napkin.
I've since then seen a few counter-factuals... the only one that comes to mind is real estate prices in Palo Alto. Let me know if you think of others, maybe we'll do a second one and show another side of things.
Thank you for making an infographic out of useful information in a statistically adept way. The infographic that focuses on communicating data accurately is a rare treat. I particularly found the valuation and revenue comparison interesting and well done.
