|
| In most cases an IPO isn't worth it _for founders_ because an
| IPO means you lose operational control. It 's basically the
| "Rich versus Kings" dichotomy [0].
|
| Edit: can't reply
|
| > you can control the share allocations going into an IPO to

|
| Investors do not like that - they want some degree of
| operational control in order to right the ship if needed.
|
| In the early 2010s, IPOs like Tesla and Facebook were on terms
| that gave outside investors little control on operations and
| that's why Musk and even Zuckerberg to a certain extent can
| choose to reorient to a new boondoggle with little-to-no
| investor pushback.
|
| In 2026 if you want to IPO, it will be on the terms of JPMC,
| GS, etc who are underwriting the IPO.
|
| In a private company, it's easier for an investor to offload or
| get bought out of their position if the founder wants to
| maintain operational control.
|
| > While you're accountable to a board of directors and

|
| In publicly listed companies, it is magnitudes more difficult

| versus in a private company because both the board and
| strategic shareholders will act as checks against you.
|
| > If you're acquired, you're giving up ownership and you tend
| to lose operational control unless you have agreements in place
| that say otherwise
|
| An acquisition happens when both the founders and investors
| want to exit, and has less operational overhead and due
| dilligence versus going thru the process of an IPO in the US.
|
| > This is counterintuitive to me
|
| Well, that's the reality. This is why Stripe, Databricks, and
| others have remained private for so long despite having hit
| IPO-level metrics years ago. If you're already generating high
| 9 to low 10 figures a year in revenue, you can remain private
| indefinetly and as a founder you would be able to give yourself
| a compensation package comparable to a public company, but with
| much less oversight and stress.
|
| > Interesting, why is this more true of Israeli VC's as opposed
| to VC's in other markets
|
| Significantly less capital.
|
| "Big" funds like YL Ventures, Cyberstarts, and JVP only have an
| AUM of $800M, $1.4B, and $1.9B respectively.
|
| And if you were going to IPO in the US _anyhow_ , why would you
| even invest in an Israeli fund, which wouldn't have enough
| people with experience for an IPO.
|
| And the handful of Israeli IPOs that happened like SentinelOne
| or CyberArk weren't that successful.

|
| If you're acquired, you're giving up ownership and you tend

|
| With an IPO it seems like you have a better chance to retain
| control: you can control the share allocations going into an
| IPO to give you solid voting power. While you're accountable
| to a board of directors and theoretically accountable to
| stockholders, in reality management often runs the show, at
| least until the board runs out of patience with bad earnings.
