What If Facebook Never Actually Does an IPO?

Goldman Sachs invested $500 million in Facebook in December along with a group of investors, and then the investment bank also set up a private investment vehicle for its high net-worth clients that put another $1 billion in the company. The upshot of that, and the new private offering that Facebook is reportedly considering — which will apparently be open to employees, as was a previous $100-million share sale to Russian investor DST in 2009 — is that Facebook has, and will continue to have, plenty of funds to expand for at least the near future. That removes one rationale for going public.
