NetSuite confirms 2007 marks Return of the IPO

With Larry Ellison’s Netsuite getting ready to IPO, it’s clearly official: 2007 is the year the IPO gets back into the swing of things.

We’ve covered this for over half a year now, Netsuite was already getting its IPO treatment on as early as late 2006, when we first began to ponder over the return of the IPO in an otherwise moribund climate.

With investors so hungry for public offerings, I think $50M is the new $100M threshhold for revenue expectations and that IPOs will replace M&As.   Part of that was driven, frankly, by Facebook becoming too rich to sell in an acquisition.

Since Facebook began to target an IPO (in all fairness, Facebook has simply stated “we’re not for sale”, and not “we’re filing for an IPO, but you can read between the lines and deduct your own conclusion), other consumer web media firms have sought the same exit strategy: Quigo and LinkedIn being two more that come to mind.
