Re: Exit strategy for technology companies
Mr. Wu, I see your opinion regarding IPOs is quite realistic. Is it biased by your previous experience in M&A or not? Could you recommend some good literature regarding IPO process? I've been reading "From Zero to IPO" by David Smith and have found it a good resource, is there any suggestion? I've reading your posts and think most of them are really good. Thanks a lot.

Re: Exit strategy for technology companies
I appreciate your feedback and thanks for your compliment. The ratio of IPO vs M&A I mentioned in my blog is a fact which you probably can verify independently. But of course, since I have been in this business for quite a few years, I have seen more M&A deals as exit for startups than IPOs even in the best of the Internet days. IPO definitely has its charm and glamour. In my mind, IPO for startup feels like a person finally rise to be a successful movie star from thousands of want-to-be in Hollywood. But with every upside, there is a downside. Depends on your company’s situation, it may or may not be the optimal route.
In term of resources, you can check out http://www.discoverion.com. Under the Exit Strategy, you will find some good books. Hope it helps.
