The IPO late idea is just a SF meme. Yes, it’s easier to tell a valuation story based on a scarcity/auction model but eventually you need a market priced valuation. Do it once you feel ready.

Shopify has made a lot of good decisions over the years. What is surprising how little people in other industries look at what can be done when focusing on paid customers. No freemium, no ads funded "free plans". Core focus on serving people who pay. As it should be.
