2013年最值得关注的10宗IPO

    Box

    过去几年，Box颇为惹眼。这家提供云内容管理和文件分享服务的公司2012年11月底出席了瑞士信贷（Credit Suisse）的年度科技大会，表明公司管理层至少是在权衡IPO。当然，只是出席某一家投资银行的会议并不能保证什么（Box也曾出席2011年的高盛会议），但这些公司出席会议绝非偶然。过去一年，Box的员工规模几乎扩大了一倍，增加到了650人。2012年7月的一次大规模融资中，它获得估值约12亿美元，共融资1.25亿美元。外界预测Box可能寻求进行IPO，估值为20-30亿美元。

    Box

    Box has been highly visible over the past few years. The company, which offers cloud-based content management and file sharing services, attended the Credit Suisse Annual Technology Conference in late November, a sign that management is at least kicking the tires on an IPO. Merely attending an investment banking conference doesn't guarantee anything (Box was also at a Goldman Sachs conference in 2011), but companies don't show up by accident. Box nearly doubled its workforce in the past year to 650 employees, and it was valued at roughly $1.2 billion following a substantial funding round in July that brought in $125 million. Estimates suggest Box may seek an IPO valuation between $2-3 billion.
