"It's hard to imagine anyone with more experience going public than Steve. His advice for the entire process--from choosing bankers, to directing a very productive roadshow, to pricing and selecting investors--was perfect. Steve helped me and the entire Bill.com team have an amazing experience. Ultimately, following his advice is the best advice I can give anyone." --René Lacerte, CEO, Bill.com "Steve Cakebread knows the capital markets like few others, having shepherded three tech companies from private ownership to their IPOs and beyond. Readers seeking to learn strategies and key moves around going public--and what follows--will find valuable information in Steve's insights." --Stacey Cunningham, president, New York Stock Exchange Entrepreneurs who envision going public will find value on every page. --Kirkus Reviews "The public market is a public reckoning for businesses, bringing much-needed transparency, governance, and accountability. Steve Cakebread's The IPO Playbook is the ultimate guide to taking a company public." --Marc Benioff, chairman and co-CEO, Salesforce
