The exit allows you to eventually start a new startup and go through it all again, an IPO/ continuing private business means that your doing the same thing for a long time and may eventually become big company you were trying to escape from initially. I guess that would be an interesting question to pose, if your startup continued to grow would you wlecome the challenge of expanding it to more of a big company or would you prefer to jump off and do something small again? Tony Wright is a good example, leaving rescuetime to jump back into something new now that rescuetime has become a more stable, growing company.
