I do not understand how the company is being valued at 2.5B. It doesn't look like even the business accounts at Pinterest have any type of fee associated with them.

How do they make money? Or is this valuation most likely based on the possibility of making money down the line?

EDIT:

According to this post, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5254498, it seems like it is based primarily on potential revenue from data mining.
