      several of the startups he mentioned are generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue... are you asking why they'd go public?

      I think he means that in this market other than early employee/VC liquidity there's no advantage to being public

      Uh what. $sq says hold my beer. So does $kite and literally every other company which has run up billions in valuation thx to public markets. The tape has been crazy bullish for good companies.

          There are both genuine and cynical reasons that cos should stay private. In the current market environment they seem to vastly outweigh benefits of going public.

          Genuine: minute-to-minute & quarter-to-quarter obsession of stock price & gaming GAAP is (1) completely antithetical to innovation & (2) does long-term harm to the company.

          i don't know a single person in leadership at a public company that has a "minute-to-minute" obsession with their stock price.

          also, i think it's a safe assumption that a leader that obsesses over stock price minute-to-minute or quarter-to-quarter are probably doing the same about their private valuation.
