Valuation of cash equivalents and short‑term investments

Money market funds, commercial paper, US Government Agency bonds, US Treasury bonds and corporate debt securities were valued by the Company using quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, which represent a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation of Warrant Liability

The warrant liability is related to the warrants to purchase shares of series seed convertible preferred stock (see Note 8). The fair value of the warrant liability was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market , which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Upon the closing of the IPO in July 2018, the warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s series seed convertible preferred stock was converted into a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result, the warrant liability was remeasured a final time on the closing date of the IPO and reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which incorporated assumptions and estimates, to value the warrant liability. Key estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value measurement include: (i) the expected term of the warrants, (ii) the risk-free interest rate, (iii) the expected dividend yield, (iv) expected volatility of the price of the underlying series seed convertible preferred stock and (v) the fair value of the series seed convertible preferred stock on the valuation date. The Company estimated the fair value per share of the underlying series seed convertible preferred stock based, in part, on the results of third-party valuations and additional factors deemed relevant. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The Company estimated a 0% expected dividend yield based on the fact that the Company has never paid or declared dividends and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Prior to July 2018, the Company was a private company and accordingly, lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information of its stock, the expected stock volatility was based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies for a term equal to the remaining expected term of the warrants.

Based on the terms and conditions of the warrant, upon closing of the Company’s IPO in July 2018, the warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s series seed convertible preferred stock was converted into a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. On that date, the Company remeasured the warrant liability to fair value and reclassified the total carrying value to additional paid-in capital. The Company performed the final remeasurement of the warrant liability using the IPO price of $15.00 per share and recorded the change in fair value as a component of total other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.

The following assumptions were used to measure the fair market value of the warrant liability upon the conversion date:
