From a rulebook, a public company has many members and can sell shares to anyone, while a private one is more closed. But from my cold night-shift chair? Going public means you stop answering to your family’s needs and start answering to strangers who only see quarterly reports. I took my little tech startup public for the money to fix our roof. The money came, but so did the pressure to show profit while sugar prices still made my mother choose between her medicine and good chai.
