10家可能會明年上市的公司
9、Automattic 成立時間:2005年 已募集的風投資金:2.057億美元 估值:12億美元 簡介:該公司最出名之處在于它是博客平臺WordPress的母公司。上個月,Automattic進行了2008年以來的第一次融資,以紐約風險投資公司Insight Venture Partners為首的投資者共向該公司投資了1.6億美元。盡管大規模的晚期融資通常意味著首次公開募股的到來,但首席執行官馬特·穆倫維格當時對《華爾街日報》表示:“我們的資產流動性已經足以讓公司進入下一發展階段,并不需要向公眾尋求資金支持?!?/p> |
9. Automattic Year founded: 2005 VC money raised: $205.7 million Valuation: $1.2 billion About: Best known as the parent company of blogging host WordPress, Automattic raised $160 million last month in its first investment since 2008, led by Insight Venture Partners. Though raising large, late-stage rounds often points to an impending IPO, CEO Matt Mullenweg told the Wall Street Journal at the time, “We now have the liquidity to build the company to the next level without needing to turn to the public for money.” |
