I don't think I'd enjoy running a public company. We haven't needed to go to the market to fund expansion.

Fortunately we're not a public company - we're a private group of companies, and I can do what I want.

I don't want to take a company public and not have it do extremely well and fail the public shareholder.

I have never run a public company. I spent my entire life working for a private company.

You can't be an entrepreneur and work in a public company anymore.

Any company of my size cannot live without thinking it's possible to go public one day.

In my experience, there are only two valid reasons to take a company public: access to growth capital and investor fatigue.

Clearly as you move to being a public company, probably even more than growth, there is a huge value based on predictability.

This is a bit like big-game hunting. You look for companies of a certain size that deserve to be public.
