    No IPO...

    There are two reasons why there's no talk of IPO...

        Ignorant? Hardly.

        How many of the founders do you know?

        If you do an IPO, your books are now open because you're a public company. That didn't work out so well for Hortonworks. Everyone can see the burn rate.

        If I had to bet, MapR is closer to an IPO than Cloudera.
