Feb 21st 2011 | Why Ten Million Dollar IPOs Matter
Why Ten Million Dollar IPOs Matter
Jeffrey Stewart at urgentspeed.com wrote a cogent article on why small- and medium-scale IPOs are important to an economy. Here's an excerpt:
"Today only the largest of companies can go public, generally only those with over $500 million dollars of market capitalizations. In the 80s there were IPOs where the net proceeds were less than $900K. Veteran Venture Capitalist Alan Patricof told me about a $10 million IPO he did in the seventies. When I asked him about this, months later, he corrected me, pointing out it was not a $10 million IPO, it was a $1 million IPO on a $10 million pre money valuation! Mighty Intel Corporation went public in 1971 with an $8 million IPO and a mere $53 million valuation. My concern is that we are not graduating the “Intels” of tomorrow."
