Lock-up expires 29 August [1]. On the other hand, they have $3.2bn of cash and short-term investments (as of 31 March) while burning about $600MM of cash from their operations (FYE 31 December 2016) a year. That's 5 years to get it right.

EDIT: insider lock-up at T+150 comes in at the end of July.

> Lock-up expires 29 August [1].

Its actually the end of July for the first and most important IPO lockup expiry.

> The first key lock-up date for Snap will occur roughly 150 days following the IPO. At that point, pre-IPO investors, such as company insiders, will be allowed to sell their shares. The second major lock-up date applies to 25% of the shares that were offered in the IPO itself. Of the 200 million total IPO shares, 50 million of the shares will be restricted for one year.


Founding team cashed out pre-IPO for hundreds of millions each.
