There's a lot of confusion here about the way VC operates (or companies, for that matter), but just to clarify one point: an IPO is not an "exit" -- it is a public offering. That is, an Oxide IPO, were we to be so lucky, would be a milestone towards being the generational company that we aspire to be.

And what are you offering and why are you offering it?

Who do you think will own whatever you're offering after you go public?

Are you hoping your VCs (or you) won't sell whatever your offering when an IPO happens?
