Thoughts On The Google IPO Filing
Thoughts On The Google IPO Filing
04/30/2004 02:05 AMWell, ever since Google
filed
their S-1 this morning, all the news seems to have turned into all
Google, all the time. Obviously, there are plenty of other places
covering the story, but after reading through the
S-1, I have a few thoughts that may not be covered
elsewhere. News.com has an
excel
lent roundup of many of the Google IPO high points, but the S-1
itself is worth reading. The opening "owner's manual" is very
straightforward in revealing how the team at Google views the IPO. In
some ways, it's very reminiscent of the incredibly refreshing
financi
al statements from Overstock.com, which remind you just how much
misleading crap is shoved into most financial filings.
The decision to go with an auction model
for the IPO isn't a huge surprise (it was rumored last October
). What is interesting, however is that they don't seem to be
doing it through W.R. Hambrecht, who is considered the expert in Dutch
Auction IPOs. In fact, the filing hints at the fact that Google is
making use of their own experiences auctioning off their
advertisements in figuring out how to do this auction. That seems a
little scary as (a) auctioning off ad inventory and IPO shares is
quite different and (b) you always get a little worried when a company
relies too heavily on their own experience in an area where they're
not experts. Still, the decision to review all potential investors to
make sure they know what they're investing in (possibly with a test of
some sort) while banning anyone who looks as though they're trying to
game the system is a very smart move, and should help Google end up
with more informed investors.
The folks on Wall Street must have very mixed opinions about this
whole affair. They want Google to go public more than anything in the
world, but the setup of this IPO is really designed to route around
their usual (questionable) methods as much as possible. Still, since
no banks wanted to miss out on taking the firm public, it looks like
it wasn't that hard to sign up the underwriters. There will be a few
other interesting things to watch for as a result of this. Will other
companies try to go public on similar terms, and will Wall Street
allow it? Will they claim it's a special case, or will this "educate"
pre-IPO companies that they don't have to play by the old rules. If
that does happen, Morgan Stanley and CSFB could benefit by having the
experience of running such an unconventional offering, while also
acting as though they're willing to avoid the silly Wall Street games.
The other item that's worth noting is whether or not this structure
actually works, or if the pressure really does become too much. From
everything Google has done so far, I'm sure they believe that they can
withstand the pressure. If anyone can, it probably is them. Reading
through the S-1 you realize they put a lot of thought into how to
structure this. However, the riskiest thing I see in the S-1 is the
fact that this unconventional IPO is really designed to keep the power
in the hands of Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. There are
plenty of reasons why that's good - because they've done a fantastic
job so far, and they appear to function quite well as a team.
However, it makes me question the succession plan and how the company
continues to manage should any of the three leave. The structure
they're setting up is basically designed to work great, assuming the
three of them all continue to work there. Should something happen to
one of them, or should the working relationship falter, the company
seems less well structured to deal with the change. Hopefully they
are putting in place plans for such things, but it is still a risk.
Overall, I'm impressed by the way they've put this together and I hope
it works out well for them. It would be nice to see a company
actually show Wall Street that the bankers are supposed to be serving
the companies, and not the other way around. I hope it's the start of
a trend.

« The 'staff only' door to the now vacant office. One detail
might give away which staff. :) »
Last night, the city was so quiet that even the local police
commented in the paper today that it was half as rowdy as a normal
Friday night. It's even rather quiet this morning which makes me
nervous that people are gearing up for a 24-hour orgiastic
drink-athon. It's like being back home when the sky goes dark and
green, the wind dies and you're waiting for the torrential rain and
the hail to begin. Happy Vappu/May Day/Walpurgis to all. :)
This week there was an Open Source conference in Moscow where, rather
surprisingly, Larry gave a talk about community building
with Open Source [.ppt ~3mb]. Old timers will notice it being a
classic Larry talk by using a lot of pictures, being very vague and
mentioning god at least once. There's really only one person who has
put up with all the PITA Perl people over the past decade, including
myself, who has actively tried to keep the community going but who has
started to drift away from this role and it has begun to show; it's
not Larry. Larry is the somewhat mythical god figure who very
occasionally says something from the mount, these days usually about
the similarly fabled perl6. When so many of the bright older guys who
aren't given to personality worship have gone, the void is
inadequately filled by starfucker/fanboys who haven't figured out that
titles of "The" are only used for the infamous dead or artists whose
careers are in a slump. It might have been interesting to talk about
how Perl6 caused a schism and how the population surrounding the
language has fundamentally changed since then, but that would require
something a lot more concrete and insightful than, to summarize
Larry's talk, people are people.

Hydrogen
Fuel Cell Motorbike Unveiled (BBC link, no reg. req.)
The
Emissions Neutral Vehicle (ENV), has a top speed of 50mph (80km/h), a
range of at least 100 miles (160km) and can run continuously for four
hours before the fuel cell needs recharging.
What's more, the bike's "exhaust" is water vapor and is so
clean that its drinkable.
Concerns are that the bike is too quiet and plans have been made
to add a motor sound to the bike so as to not startle pedestrians.
Though I must admit to kind of liking the idea of "stealth
mode" motorcycling.
A sort of follow up to
this post.
