I would do everything in my power to not go public, as soon as you do, your obligation to please changes from the customer to the stock holders.

Im so over working for companies making decisions JUST to please investors and reports. Companies who lay staff off for the books just to have a need to rehire staff again the next quarter.

Of course. IPOs usually go at higher multiples than selling it to a private buyer.
