The article literally says that's not the case. They hope to get an IPO. I know doesn't mean it's 100% true but it's still right there.
"Airtable isn't yet profitable, Liu said, but can be "cash flow positive at a moments notice." And an IPO is the eventual goal, he says, because he doesn't want to sell his company again. "

- dyarosla 9y agoThanks for pointing that out- I did initially miss that point. Let's see if Liu sticks to that plan.
