- efficax 3y agowhen you raise capital you've got to give it a return, and an IPO is the classic exit if the amount of capital you've raised is huge. Early investors get their payday.
- constantcrying 3y agoIf you have invested in a company, selling it on the stockmarket is a good way to turn the stake you previously bought into money. Obviously you want to maximize the selling price, as that is the actual profit you are making. If they are IPOing, they either need funding or believe its current evaluation will give them a good price.
