What is Laceworks chance of IPOing versus being acquired? I received an offer from them that pays more and may have more career advancement opportunities, but I have to move cross country and leave my steady job at servicenow. #tech #lacework #ipo #servicenow
High probably of IPO, but nothing is guaranteed. FWIW, they have focused the whole biz around IPO goals and it's more likely than other startups I've been at and lived through acquisitions with. Also, why do you have to move? Lacework is fully remote.
Next year is probably too early, I would say 3-4 years IMHO.
Did the recruiter mentioned about aiming for an IPO next year?
IPO in 1-2yrs IMO. I've been at companies pre-ipo that have successfully IPO'd and Lacework is doing the right things to do it themselves. I'd say 80% chance they do it in the next 3yrs.
They told me that they want to IPO next year but that is never a guarantee. They’re in a very saturated market and well situated for an acquisition
How was your interview experience OP?
