Yes, and what is fascinating to me is that any company can choose to stay private or become public. Valve isn't in on any secret, it is just that most companies and founders, facing the question "do I want to follow my vision, or sell out and make a boatload of money?" pretty much always choose the latter.
I would love to know and learn more about companies that stayed private and went on to do great things.
- maronato 3y agoAny company can choose, but investors want to cash out, and by far the easiest way is to have the company go public. I don’t know how much investment valve received earlier on, but given that Gabe alone still retains >50% of it, I’d say he answers to no one regarding its future.
