GrubHub Seamless Files Confidential Public Offering
- bsiddiqui 13y agoyou're joking right?
- onedev 13y agoFor some reason I read "GitHub" and did a double take.
- zaidf 13y agoHave now done this multiple times. I suppose a lot of us are waiting for GitHub's next big move.
- sdesol 13y agoI think I read Atlassian was going IPO this year which was why I couldn't dissociate GitHub from GrubHub for the longest time. Since they are both going after the coveted enterprise market, I automatically assumed it was GitHub and the IPO was to raise capital.
- rdl 13y agoI wonder how much of an advantage they have in the IPO process because Seamless is so popular on Wall Street (maybe #2 after Bloomberg?)
- ruhruh 13y agoPump. And. Dump.
- lubos 13y agoIt's "GrubHub", not GitHub. That reminds me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typoglycemia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typoglycemia
- joeblau 13y agoIt said GitHub originally right?
- timjahn 13y agoNo, it said GRUBHUB. Why would it say Github?
- leemcalilly 13y agoI wouldn't be cynical if it were in fact Github.
- grinich 13y agoI'm wondering if these days "filing for IPO" is synonymous with "couldn't raise another large round." It seems so common for multi-billion dollar companies to do a huge private equity financing (+$100MM) to push off Sarbanes-Oxley a few more extra years. Twitter, Dropbox, Facebook, Uber, GitHub, Airbnb, and Square have all done this. Maybe Goldman Sachs wasn't hungry for this one?
- callmeed 13y agoCan someone please explain the "GrubHub Seamless" name? It is, in my opinion, a horrible name (either separately is fine). Is it just the corporate name? Is it from a merger of two egos and neither would give? Or is it some regional thing ala Carls Jr. & Hardees? Those who use it, what do you call it?
- p4lindromica 13y agoGrubHub and Seamless merged last year: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324787004578495411888526172 http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142412788732478700...
