OT ... Lizzie, re "look at the difference between when Oracle started and when they IPO'ed, thats all you need to know about how long it took them to really build up"

Yes, a difference of 9 years -- founded June 1977 and IPO March 1986.

But there are several possible reasons to explain the timing of an IPO. Time "to build the product" is just one of them. Equity market conditions are another.
