I'm sure I'm missing some....

EDIT: adding new ones as I/others think of them

[ummonk → harryh]

Asana CEO has stated they won't be IPO'ing this year.

Also, Stitch Fix IPO'd in 2017.

But yes, there are a ton of public companies in SF, both long term and recent IPOs.

[cubecul → harryh]

DoorDash may also go this year

aside: anyone else think Uber should buy DoorDash?

[ackbar03 → cubecul]

I think they're too expensive to buy now, DoorDash will just have to dump on the unexpecting retail investors to cashout

[burlesona → harryh]

With an asterisk, Atlassian is public (NASDAQ) and its US HQ is in the financial district.

Asterisk is the Global HQ is in Sydney.

[jedberg → harryh]

Apparently they meant going public this year. From four to nine. They didn’t count Levi’s.

[mykowebhn → harryh]

I believe Levi's plans on IPOing as well.

[mykowebhn → mykowebhn]

Correction: Levi's already IPOed.

Add: Marin Software

[mykowebhn → mykowebhn]

@harryh True. With the direction its revenue is going (downwards), I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delisted.

[harryh → mykowebhn]

While technically Marin Software is public it only has a market cap of about 30M so......

[randomacct3847 → harryh]

Levi’s, Williams Sonoma, Gap/Old Navy

[stevenhuang → harryh]
