How much money did you lose?

I attended a Bar Camp a few weeks ago where presenters give technology related talks. One of the talks I attended was entitled "The myth of the Unicorn" regarding startups and the speaker talked about Uber...specifically how so many people are invested in Uber pre-IPO and that in order for them...
