Whats events point of going public? Arent they making profit? Or what does it even do for then now?

[–] Oaksey@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In general the reasons could be, an opportunity to raise capital meaning they can ramp up production or produce a better product, and/or the current owners want to cash out.

Most of the time is for the owner to cash out. Either now, or in a short time when the ramp up is done, for more money.
