There are good reasons for going public, such as providing liquidity for employees and having a public currency for acquisitions.

The question of why companies should go public is increasingly relevant, especially given the extended privatization windows available today. I think companies realize they can have greater focus by remaining private for longer.

Despite some companies being overvalued, the overall ecosystem benefits as it allows for easier capital raising, which can accelerate innovation and growth across the industry.

Deciding whether to stay private or go public is primarily a financing decision, influenced by the need for liquidity among employees and investors.

You can build a better business by staying private for longer, as we're starting to see the evolution of large companies facilitating secondary rounds.

Starting a company in Europe presents challenges, such as a fragmented market and a lack of nurturing environments for early-stage startups compared to Silicon Valley.

I think it's fair that we should be open sourcing more, as we now have a better understanding of the impact these systems can have.

I think the European startup ecosystem suffers from a lack of ambition and a fear of success among founders.

I find more energy and enjoyment in my role as a public company CEO than I did as a startup founder. The team I work with now allows us to create and innovate together, free from corporate bureaucracy.
