I thought the same thing but was told that in case of an IPO, a starting price of around $10-15 a share is usually looked for.

According to this article (http://www.inc.com/articles/1999/11/15748.html), "investment banks will target an initial offering price of around $15."

If you take this as true, you don't necessarily need to know how many overall shares have been issued. It would all depend on what level of the startup you get in obviously.

Anyone can confirm that this is a usable ball-park number?
