Call me a cynic, but I get the feeling this IPO is more of an early investor/founder cash out?

In this case, none of the IPO proceeds went to existing shareholders. Based on the prospectus, it would appear that all insiders are subject to either a 120-day or 180-day lock-up post IPO.

This seems more like a liquidity raise to fund future growth that just happened to be timed incorrectly with respect to the Amazon / Whole Foods announcement.

That's most IPO's
I may be mistaken, but I think existing shareholders are not selling as part of the IPO. The company really needs the money...
