What if your "growth" is actually a liability in an audit?
In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with former eBay and Sonos CFO Aman Verjee to demystify the brutal reality of going public. Most founders treat an IPO as an exit, but Aman reveals why it’s actually the start of a punishing new journey requiring a complete architectural overhaul. Discover the "invisible infrastructure" public companies possess that yours likely doesn't, why ARR is a banned term in SEC filings, and the lethal mistake mid-market companies make that cuts their valuation in half during due diligence. Whether you're aiming for the NASDAQ buzzer or looking for secondary market liquidity without the public overhead, this episode provides the high-stakes roadmap for building a durable, audit-proof business.
