Not sure where you're getting those numbers. I've been a Backblaze customer for 10+ years, and I was contacted about the directed share program. Have not heard about price or volume yet.

The S-1 does not detail any maximum number of shares for the directed share program, but it does have the expected price near the top.

> We expect the public offering price to be between $15.00 and $17.00 per share.

How were you contacted? Been a customer for some time. Looking at my billing history looks like 2013. Must not be long enough :(
