Map Biz DigitalGlobe Files $250M IPO
We had just been explaining to a friend who gave up on the tech business a decade ago that the tech IPO window hasn't moved open an inch. So it was great to see today that DigitalGlobe has filed an IPO. Not only that but its a very large one at $250M on the NYSE. The company uses two satellites to produce high-rez images of the earth. The images have been incorporated into Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth. DigitalGlobe was founded back in 1994 as EarthWatch. It reported net income of $95.8M last year, up from $9.2M in 2006. During the same period, revenue climbed to $151.7M from $106.8M. The company's early days were not auspicious. It has launched four satellites since its inception. The first, launched in 1997, suffered a power failure after four days. A second failed to achieve orbit in 2000. DigitalGlobe’s investors include Ball Aerospace and Technologies., Hitachi, Morgan Stanley and Telespazio/Eurimage Investment. View - site... Continue...

Based on its opening price, the company has an initial market capitalization of about $650M. No doubts, SuccessFactors is a money loser. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, the company saw a net loss of $49M on revenue of $44M. That compared to a net loss of $22.9M on revenue of $21.2M for the same period a year ago. That is a killer burn-rate but at least the company's revenues are headed in the right direction. SuccessFactors sells Web-based performance management software and perhaps the Street feels it may have a buyout candidate on its hands given the crazy amount of consolidation in enterprise software. View - site We had a sinking feeling about Internet Brands when it filed its IPO and wondered why the company would push its IPO timing when its numbers clearly failed to impress even the most casual observer. The firm had to cut the size and expected price... Continue...
