The pros and cons of the IPO market are being carefully weighed more than ever before. Gone are the days of the end goal being an exit strategy. This leaves many left to wonder – should a lucrative IPO be the ultimate goal for all entrepreneurs?
The rise of Facebook has become the gold standard for entrepreneurs that are striving to take their groundbreaking ideas from dorm room, to Silicon Valley office, to an Initial Public Offering . in May 2012, which instantly made Mark Zuckerberg a multi-billionaire in the process, while pushing early investors like Peter Thiel into the Silicon Valley limelight.
Similar cases include Uber’s long-standing struggles to generate profits, which led to a steep decline in its stock prices following its IPO before the WeWork debacle.. However, the answer is likely slightly more nuanced. It appears that many companies, bolstered by VCs flush with cash, are going public when they either don’t need to, or flat out shouldn’t.
in the U.S., though. And for businesses that fall in the brick-and-mortar category or mid-level manufacturing, it may not be in their best interest either. Going public is risky and fraught with potential risks and liabilities that the company’s early founders and employees may be exposed to.When it comes to an IPO, it really boils down to size, preference, and timing. Most successful mid-sized IPOs today are revenue-conscious, lean businesses that can turn a profit through a viable product or general business savvy. On the other hand, the behemoths, like Alibaba and Visa, are the dream IPOs.
