How IPOs work Public vs Private Effects on early investors Process

Page 4: IPOs: How they work and what they mean for your portfolio

Going Public ! Portion of your company

traded on public exchange !  IPO: first time shares are

offered publicly ! Positives:

»  Liquidity »  Credibility

Public vs Private

“We’re going public for our employees and our investors… we’d work hard to make [their equity] worth a lot and make it liquid, and this IPO is fulfilling our commitment.” – Mark Zuckerberg

“Look at Benioff and Bezos, they stole the microphone and controlled the industry. Neither said ‘I don’t want to be public, someone might look at my numbers’” – Doug Leone, Sequoia

Page 5: IPOs: How they work and what they mean for your portfolio

Going Public ! More positives:

»  Big capital base (avg US startup raised $160M prior to IPO, then $470M at IPO)

»  Involve new class of investors »  New acquisition possibilities

! Drawbacks: »  Scrutiny of leadership »  Disclosures to SEC »  Earnings statements & a new

approach to investor relations

Public vs Private

“[public] companies understand they’re owned by shareholders… CEOs must listen” – Peter Weinberg

“Companies should be rock solid, both financially and technically, before going public” – Marc Andreessen

Page 6: IPOs: How they work and what they mean for your portfolio

Private vs Public

~$35B revenue

Acquired by founder for $25B

Acquired by BRK.A for $23B

~$140B revenue

Staying (or going) Private ! Completely owned by

founders and/or investors ! Fewer disclosure

requirements ! Private doesn’t necessarily

mean small ! Reasons for staying private:

»  Control (Michael Dell example) »  Reduced scrutiny and

disclosure requirements »  IPOs are very expensive
