Mobile ad giant Flurry points to IPO as ‘inevitable’

When you have a mobile ad reach greater than Google’s and you have more business than you can handle, there’s no other option than to go public. That’s what Flurry’s CEO is saying and he’s probably correct.

Simon Khalaf, the CEO of mobile adtech company Flurry, tells Business Insider that an IPO is inevitable in the company’s future because his business has grown so big.

There has been gossip about a possible Flurry IPO for months now. Large adtech companies are often aimed specifically at IPO “exits,” so that their venture capital funders can get a payback on their investments. Millennial Media, Tremor Video, YuMe, Criteo and Marin Software have all gone public recently. Yet when CEOs are asked directly if they want the rich rewards of floating their companies on the public markets, they usually demur or hedge.
