Tell HN: Amplitude (YC W12) just went public – AMA
Congratulations,<p>In addition to claudiulodro&#x27;s question about whether the employees, especially the early ones, made a good chunk.<p>- Could you explain the reasons you took it public? What were the parameters and different tradeoffs? Did you want to take it public? Was there a consensus? What were the conversations about that?<p>- How long have you been preparing for and do you have a playbook for this?<p>- Who did you hire to take it public, and how have you selected them?<p>- What was your relation with the underwriters? How did you choose? What did you optimize for?<p>- How has your cap table evolved from formation to now? How did you ensure fairness?<p>- Hindsight is 20&#x2F;20, but what would you differently?
