Lately the market has seen a resurgence of technology IPO's . Many professional financiers have been speculating that the dramatic increases in the price of many of these equities could be a result of a newly formed "bubble." The P/E ratios have been thrown out the window in attempts to discern reasonable valuations and the new internet advertising business models are causing analyst’s projection to vary over a vastly wide range. I think the stage is set to pose one obvious and appropriate question.
If you were the Lead Bookrunner today for our beloved WSO how would you value her?
What projections would you make? What kind of equity value we talking here?
Obviously you don’t have nearly enough information to arrive at a reasonably accurate estimate (that is unless our WSO owner would like to share) so I suggest when answering this question tap into that banking numbers creativity I know each of you posses.
i actually leaked the numbers on wikileaks if you are interested..
Here are the numbers. Go nuts:

I think a good follow up question would be, what purpose does WSO need to go public? Is there some big development push that Patrick would want to do that requires additional capital?
Why put pressure on him and the company to meet the expectations of going public if there isn't a need?
Purely an academic question. I was curious to learn how users saw the site relative to other tech companies. I have no motivation nor do i think i have the influence to sway Patrick to go public.
Though I would be curious to learn about some new developments to for the site.
