Yeah the estimate doesn't feel grounded in anything. And pre-IPO could mean anything.

Pre-IPO is a very broad range. Comp expectations would be drastically different from pre-seed to Series D+, not only in total but the composition of the offer.

4-5 YOE in consulting or in PM?

What series of fundraising have they gotten to?
