What IPO isn't about making money for the company? Only the VC pump-and-dump scams, not anything you want to be part of

Most companies' IPOs don't include going to great lengths to successfully offload far more of their shares at a significantly higher price than the shares could sustain.

There's a big difference between leaving money on the table and riding the hype wave for all its worth. Plenty of room for reasonable compromise.
