What's the exit plan? To run the company privately forever? To hit IPO? To get acquired by some megacorp (which one)? What's the timeline on these things?

What's the exit plan? To run the company privately forever? To hit IPO? To get acquired by some megacorp (which one)? What's the timeline on these things? I wish I'd been able to ask the CEO these things. I've had an interview interrupted at 10am by the CEO showing up to work, walking into the (his) conference room I was being interviewed in, no knock, drop his stuff and leave. Yes, it was an open office, and yes, I think he had pretty much checked out at that point.
