Write me a script for an upcoming All Hands meeting about our IPO prospects and how employees need to act in the quiet period.
Lately, I've received plenty of questions about a potential IPO. I want to answer those questions today ��� and talk about how we as a company will answer questions like that moving forward.
 
 For years, we���ve shared that one of our aspirations is to build a wildly successful public company. Everyone has a role to play in getting us there and delivering for customers and growing the business is the most important thing most of us can do.
 
 A typical milestone on a high-growth journey is an IPO. But as companies get more serious about a potential IPO, there is a period where they stop talking about an IPO. This might be counter-intuitive, but here���s why: there are important regulatory restrictions on what companies can and cannot say when it comes to company growth and plans as they approach becoming a public company. The consequences if you don���t follow those rules can be serious ��� the SEC can even delay our ability to go public if it determines we���ve improperly promoted an IPO. And that���s obviously a situation we want to avoid, should we be in a position to go public in the future. 
 
 And even language like this ��� "should we be in a position to go public in the future" ��� is vague. That's for a reason: as we get closer to an IPO, what we can say is restricted and we need to make sure we don���t make promises, otherwise regulators could force us to delay our plans.
 
 So I���m going to share some updates about how we���ll need to communicate related to a potential IPO:
 
 In order to preserve the ability to IPO at some point in the future, the executive team and I will not be sharing explicit details on our IPO journey or timing at All Hands or in other company communications. We also won���t be sharing updates to our market valuation. 
 
 Hiring managers and recruiters should not explicitly talk about an IPO or our revenue growth with candidates. Instead, emphasize our massive opportunity, how we���re innovating, delivering value to our customers, and what an awesome team we have. 
 
 We can���t engage with public market investors or financial journalists on certain topics. That means if a financial analyst, research analyst or reporter reaches out to you, don���t respond and forward the email to the communications team.
 
 We also can���t talk about a potential IPO on social media or with friends and family. You get the idea.
 
 I know that this will be different for us. We���ve always been a transparent company and this change is hopefully a short-term one. But it is an important one and you all have a role to play in helping us remain compliant.
 
 We all have different, important roles to play in making this company a successful, long-term business. The most important thing we can all do is to continue delivering for our customers and building a successful business.
