Foundry Has An IPO to Write Home About
from the wow dept
In the real world, you would think a company would complain if its stock was priced at $25 and within a day shot up to $158. That means that the company potentially left $133 from each of its 5 million shares on the table. That's roughly three quarters of a billion dollars if my math is correct (and it might not be). But, this is the world of the internet, and so it's good news all around for the folks at Foundry Networks, because, let's face it, even if the company just gave away a ton of money for free, all their employees and investors are rich rich rich.
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
