7 Tech Companies That Will Possibly Go Public In 2015
Vice
Vice is a print magazine and website focused on arts, culture, and news topics. Although, it was founded in 1994 in Montreal, Canada, it has since then expanded into a successful digital media enterprise that covers on-the-ground reporting in locales with cultural writing about music, fashion, sports and other topics.
The company’s quick digital growth has attracted the attention of many traditional media players and recently it even raised $500 million at a $2.5 billion valuation.
In addition to going public, founder Shane Smith revealed, “We would be stupid not to think about an IPO.”
Yext

Having founded in 2006 by Howard Lerman, Brian Distelburger and Brent Metz, some of its customers include both small businesses and Fortune 100 companies. Furthermore, to make sure that the Internet-based addresses for businesses are accurate, the company recently raised $50 million in Series F funding at a valuation of about $525 million with plans to go public in 2015. In addition, Yext even hired a CFO who previously helped take Pandora public in 2011.
