Fintech unicorn Kikoff's CEO sent this google doc to all employees this week saying that she doesn't want to IPO even though the business is doing well. Says that engineers need to "build more value" first. Not sure if her reasons make sense but would you work at a startup that actively didn't want to IPO?

if there's no upside, why are you even there? might as well rest and vest at FAANG

I read the whole doc, I think it's excellent advice.
