The last two weren’t traditional VC backed startups, but rather growth equity and a corporate spin out, but nonetheless innovative tech companies are clearly being welcomed by the public markets again. The US government last shut down in 1995 and 1996. And of course Twitter filed confidentially for their IPO in September.

Between 1996 and 2002 I was co-chairman of Interliant, a company I co-founded with three other people. And it creates endless organizational waste and misalignment when the CEO / investor / board member / leader isn’t clear about what she is saying and who her audience is. Your wall is dingy is one of them.

Assuming equity is raised at or above that cap, the total dilution, before the new money, is 16.6% (equivalent to an equity financing of $1m at a $6m post money valuation.
