How Much Revenue Does It Take To Be A $1B Public Company?

With all the chatter about Billion dollar valuations -- like Instagram, Evernote, Splunk -- combined with recent S1 filings and IPOs, the topic of tech company valuation is coming to the forefront of people?s minds. Specifically related to the software industry, the growing number of SaaS IPO candidates of late is signaling an important shift in the way that enterprise software is built and sold. It also indicates that the subscription business model is here to stay. What does this shift towards a subscription economy means for startups, investors and the IPO landscape? First of all ? get Instagram out of your mind. The price it sold for is not relevant to us mere mortals who are building B2B software businesses. For all good, non-bubble reasons, SaaS companies need tens of millions in revenue, high growth, and solid business fundamentals. What you may notice though, is that revenue may be lower than what we?ve become accustomed to during the last few years of IPO drought.

Progress 46, a Russian cargo spacecraft carrying about a ton of space waste, is schedule to splash down into the Pacific ocean today, at approximately 6:45pm Moscow time. The spacecraft's specifically targeted "burial site" is in a remote region of the water, far from any shipping routes, though by the time it's splashed down into the blue the dense layers of the Earth's atmosphere will have burned the Progress into a not-too-threatening debris.

Mac Miller isn't ready to start working on his sophomore album just yet, but he does have a few projects in the works. And though the Pittsburgh MC wouldn't give much detail when he appeared on Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live", he did drop a clue about one of these projects.

"Everyone needs to pay attention for when the words 'pink slime' surface, just don't even worry about it right now," Mac teased while sitting on the "RFL" couch.

He wouldn't reveal whom he is working with on the "pink slime" project, but Miller did confirm that it is a collaborative effort. "I'ma just say, just keep watch — he's gonna be pissed that I'm saying this, but you're not gonna know who it is," he said.

Well, if "he's gonna be pissed," then that rules out a tag-team tape with Nicki Minaj right? Maybe it's her Young Money boss Lil Wayne; after all he did appear on Miller's on Macadelic mixtape. Then again, so did Cam'ron, Juicy J and Kendrick Lamar.

There is no release date for "pink slime," but it will come before Mac's Blue Slide Park follow-up. "As far as the album, to be honest, I haven't even thought about it yet," he said. "I need some time, man; I need to put together something. I'm releasing music, I have songs on songs on songs; I record every day."

Whom do you think Mac Miller is working with on his "pink slime" project? Tell us in the comments.
