I worked for a company once that went IPO and we had stock units assigned to us.
CEO: Companies try to stay private for as long as they can, they don't just IPO for the hell of it. They're trying to solve a problem with money. Maybe they owe people money, maybe they need to spend a bunch of money to take the company to the next level. An IPO doesn't fix any problems; rather, it turns one set of problems into a bigger, harder set of problems.
Founders try to cash in. They've raised the cow, now's the time to send it to the butcher for parts
