Tech Firms Thinking About Going Private
from the not-quite-as-exciting-as-the-IPO dept
With tech firms facing delisting, some are thinking of taking the company private in order to avoid all the problems of having to release quarterly financial reports. Of course, this isn't easy, and usually requires a lot of cash that these companies don't have. There is the leveraged buy out option, but those tend to end badly.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
