IPO brings a lot of money though, much more than seed money.

    It brings tons of money, but also a microscope and public disclosure. You lose a LOAD of control over the company and get to be inspected by lots of entities. And if you have a badish quarter, you're held directly accountable by the public.

    They usually don't want all that if the company is doing fine.
