How Did AOL Go Public?

Trey Goudy: My own story was a story of struggle for more than a decade before AOL was successful. When we went public we raised ten million dollars in our IPO. We only had two hundred thousand customers value the company like seventy million dollars. A decade later it was one of the most valuable companies in the world with tens of millions of customers but as a result I think that struggle was helpful to me It was not an overnight success.
