IPOS CREATE A BUZZ,
BUT ANSWERING
TO SHAREHOLDERS
IS NOT FOR
EVERYBODY

THROUGHOUT COUNTLESS business
community conversations, you’ll hear
the same call to action:
“We need a big success; we need an
IPO,” said Pete Khanna, CEO of TrackVia
last year on a Rocky Mountain Tech
Meetup panel.
Often initial public offerings are interpreted as symptoms of big things brewing and validation that the rest of the
world is watching. Bold, buzz-worthy
IPOs secure a spotlight and generous
payday for the companies as well as the
communities they’re stationed in. But
it goes beyond that moment in time.
It’s worth noting that public ownership
comes at a cost, and the sparkle of the
IPO can fade. Public companies spend
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014
great deals of time balancing the needs
of long-term shareholders alongside
the impulses of fast-money traders, and
short sellers on the opposite end of the
bet, eager to see the stock drop.
Last year, Forbes published an article
titled: “70 Billion Reasons For a Public
Company to Go Private,” as the formerly
popular smartphone brand, BlackBerry,
opted to return to its private roots in a
last-ditch effort for survival. The piece
warned: “If the public makes you rich
beyond your wildest dreams when it
buys your stock in an IPO, you then
have to make sure the public gets a
good return for gambling its retirement
money on the fortunes of your shares.”
Interestingly, the value of “take private”
deals skyrocketed from $14 billion in 2012
to roughly $80 billion by August 2013,
according to data provider Dealogic.
Some of most recognizable businesses operate outside public markets and
are able to thrive all the same.
“I think the local market is very
responsive,” Khanna recently shared
when asked how Colorado’s economy
supports private versus public organizations. “The whole ecosystem understands that if you don’t support smaller,
newer startup companies, you’ll never
be able to create successful private
companies and eventually even public
companies. And I think the influx of
capital and talent are sure signs that we
have a vibrant and well-supported ecosystem of fast-growing private technology companies such as TrackVia (No.
204) or ReadyTalk or SendGrid (No. 75).”
This year, as evidenced by ColoradoBiz
magazine’s Top 250 Private Companies
list, leading private companies have
experienced impressive growth thanks
to a range of factors: innovation,
emerging markets, focused leadership
and good old-fashioned hard work.
