1) 5 points. Before Warby Parker went public, they had been valued at about $5 billion at the time of their IPO and had roughly 89.6 million shares outstanding. Suppose that, instead of an IPO, they had raised another round of financing. In particular, assume that they want to raise another $1 billion in order to establish physical retail locations. Their current venture capital providers are happy to provide that money for another 10% stake in the firm.

a) What is the post-money valuation of Warby Parker, after this assumed round of financing?

b) Suppose instead that they go through with an IPO. In fact, they actually did a direct listing. This means that no knew shares were created during the IPO process. Instead, let's assume that current investors decide to sell 30 million of their existing 89.6 million shares, while issuing 10 million new shares to raise new cash. These shares are issued at $60. The cash from the new shares could be used for retail expansion. The cash from existing shares will go to the investors.
