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.

DoorDash may also go this year

aside: anyone else think Uber should buy DoorDash?

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

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

I believe Levi's plans on IPOing as well.

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

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