Lol, no. The IPO is because Facebook can't continue to attract top talent in the valley without those option numbers meaning something.

- aik 14y agoMaybe it's a bit of both? Going IPO strictly to attract top talent seems a little naive, no?
- phillmv 14y agoWell… Zuckerberg isn't liquid, is he? I'm sure you can find a buyer for Facebook stock right now, but it seems like the obvious way for all those VCs, angels and early employees to cash out. Being able to issue more shares to be used as stock options, or making your financials less messy to deal with, is merely icing on the cake
- IsaacL 14y agoThe IPO is because once a company passes certain thresholds of investment/no. of investment, they have to make their accounts public. While this doesn't mean they have to IPO, once accounts are public, there is little reason not to IPO.
