For some reason I read "GitHub" and did a double take.

Have now done this multiple times. I suppose a lot of us are waiting for GitHub's next big move.

I think I read Atlassian was going IPO this year which was why I couldn't dissociate GitHub from GrubHub for the longest time. Since they are both going after the coveted enterprise market, I automatically assumed it was GitHub and the IPO was to raise capital.

I wonder how much of an advantage they have in the IPO process because Seamless is so popular on Wall Street (maybe #2 after Bloomberg?)

Pump. And. Dump.

It said GitHub originally right?

No, it said GRUBHUB. Why would it say Github?

I wouldn't be cynical if it were in fact Github.

I'm wondering if these days "filing for IPO" is synonymous with "couldn't raise another large round." It seems so common for multi-billion dollar companies to do a huge private equity financing (+$100MM) to push off Sarbanes-Oxley a few more extra years.

Twitter, Dropbox, Facebook, Uber, GitHub, Airbnb, and Square have all done this. Maybe Goldman Sachs wasn't hungry for this one?

Can someone please explain the "GrubHub Seamless" name? It is, in my opinion, a horrible name (either separately is fine).

Is it just the corporate name? Is it from a merger of two egos and neither would give? Or is it some regional thing ala Carls Jr. & Hardees?

Those who use it, what do you call it?
