There isn't much content in the article worth getting around the WSJ Paywall;

    Online-storage company Box Inc. priced its initial public offering at
    $14 apiece late Thursday, above expectations, according to a person
    familiar with the offering.

    The deal raised $175 million by selling 12.5 million shares, according
    to the person. The company had been looking to sell 12.5 million shares
    in the range of $11 to $13 a share, according to a regulatory filing.

    Box’s IPO comes roughly 10 months after it publicly filed for an IPO.
    Those plans were postponed amid a drop in demand for technology
    stocks, and in the ensuing months it turned to the private market to
    raise additional funding.

    Box plans to start trading Friday on the New York Stock Exchange
    under the ticker “BOX”.

    The deal is being led by Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse
    and J.P. Morgan.

Opinion: Blah Blah Blah

That's what crunchbase is for.
