Expected to IPO This Year:

  - DoorDash (maybe?)
  - Postmates (maybe?)
  - Instacart (maybe?)
  - Asana (maybe?)

I'm sure I'm missing some....

EDIT: adding new ones as I/others think of them

Asana CEO has stated they won't be IPO'ing this year.

Also, Stitch Fix IPO'd in 2017.

But yes, there are a ton of public companies in SF, both long term and recent IPOs.

DoorDash may also go this year

aside: anyone else think Uber should buy DoorDash?

I think they're too expensive to buy now, DoorDash will just have to dump on the unexpecting retail investors to cashout

With an asterisk, Atlassian is public (NASDAQ) and its US HQ is in the financial district.

Asterisk is the Global HQ is in Sydney.

Apparently they meant going public this year. From four to nine. They didn’t count Levi’s.

I believe Levi's plans on IPOing as well.

Correction: Levi's already IPOed.

Add: Marin Software

While technically Marin Software is public it only has a market cap of about 30M so......

@harryh True. With the direction its revenue is going (downwards), I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delisted.

Levi’s, Williams Sonoma, Gap/Old Navy

Zoom, earlier this week.

Zoom HQ is in San Jose, not SF.

Pivotal

Okta

Autodesk

I had Okta (good one though!).

Autodesk HQ is in San Rafael.

McKesson

They are here, but moving to dallas
