It should be labeled or otherwise shown, but I think that semi-log is the most appropriate choice of scale for long-term price change graphs like this. I can buy linear-linear for intraday charts, but anything long-term should be log-linear IMO.

Some thoughts (I'm neither a CPA nor a lawyer, so caveat emptor):
0) Make sure you understand 409a valuation and Alternative Minimum Tax. These two concepts will materially impact the post-tax value of late-stage private company options.
1) Clarify what the $1300 price is. Is it a 409a price, or the latest preferred share price, or something else? Also, get an exact number if $1300 is approximate.
2) Make sure your options are ISOs (and not NSOs). Ask for the count of total outstanding shares.
3) Try to get a history of the company's recent 409a valuations. This will give you some idea of how fast the fair market value is growing. Fair market value at time of exercise affects the taxes you owe.
4) If you leave the company, check how long you have to exercise your options or lose them. The standard is 90 days - this is something to be aware of so it doesn't surprise you.
Different metrics. Alibaba raised $25B. Facebook's market cap was around $104B (intraday) upon their IPO, but they only raised about $16B in the offering.
> With Square, investors were guaranteed a 20 percent premium on their investment, which would be worth $18.56 a share, meaning Square had to issue more shares to those investors, further devaluing the stock owned by employees.
> I think Netflix just shows what's the "maximum" speed needed to deliver their service.
Exactly this. Assuming your connection is faster than 3 Mbps, the number they are showing is neither the bandwidth your ISP is providing you, nor the instantaneous rate that bits are flowing to your home network. If you have a faster connection, they will send you large chunks of bits at a rate higher than 3 Mbps (upto 35 Mbps from what I've seen), and then send nothing for several seconds.
It seems that Netflix tops out at 5.8 Mbps and 1920x1080 no matter how capable your network connection is -- that's the highest number this test will produce.
