Nice!</p> <p>Good luck!!!</p> Glad to hear it Sam. You need at least $30M in a software as a service (SaaS) model or $50M+ in a perpetual model.

I was asked by John Cook what our exit strategy was and my response was that we hoped that we'd be in a position to make that call by late next year. John's blog reported this as a public offering that "could occur as early as next year." Regardless, without predicting exactly when, it's safe to say it's certainly not "early next year" as Om, mentioned. :)</p> <p>Cheers, Sam Lawrence Jive Software</p> Hey guys,

I think you and others can deduce pretty clearly that they need to spend some more time building up their revenue base. That said, I do know they seem to be doing terribly well as a software company.</p> Yup, that is why I brought it up.

Not that there's a magic number every company should hit before they can go public, but that seems like a ridiculously low number given that they still haven't proven there's bright future in what they're doing. For general public investors to justify putting any amount of money in, I would think there needs to be a relatively steady way of forecasting revenues and it seems like it absolutely doesn't exist in this case.</p> That seems like an amazingly ballsy statement to make in terms of going public with just $17MM in revenues.
