????本月早些時候，《憤怒的小鳥》（Angry Birds）開發商Rovio從Accel Partners和Atomico Ventures 募得4,200萬美元的風險投資。此后不到一周，互聯網上就開始熱議這家芬蘭公司擬赴紐約上市。部分報道如下：

????? Mashable: 《憤怒的小鳥》開發商Rovio籌劃IPO

????? 英國廣播公司(BBC): 《憤怒的小鳥》開發商為上市做準備

????? 路透社(Reuters): 《憤怒的小鳥》開發商瞄準紐約IPO

????哇，這也太快了吧！風險資本賺錢太容易了，差不多就是一個臨時融資人的角色……等一下，我發現這些標題嚴重誤導讀者。

????Rovio今年不會上市，明年也不會，甚至可能到2013年都不會。

????上述每篇報道都基于對Rovio董事長卡吉?赫德的采訪，他在采訪中談到，Rovio希望能在五年內實現赴紐約上市。換言之，他說了幾乎任何一位企業家在籌得大筆風險投資時都會說的話（“我們希望將公司做好并最終上市，等等”）。

????我不是完全不考慮Rovio IPO成功的可能性，但近期內成功的可能性幾乎為零。事實上， Rovio首席執行官米卡爾?赫德告訴我說，Rovio期待將“在未來某個時間”獲得更多風險投資——這樣的資本注入幾乎肯定會是在IPO之前。

????因此，Rovio的IPO... ...還不會發生。

????Earlier this month, Angry Birds creator Rovio raised $42 million in venture capital funding from Accel Partners and Atomico Ventures. Less than a week later, the Internet was buzzing with talk that the Finnish company was planning to go public in New York. Some examples:

????? Mashable: Angry Birds maker, Rovio, plans IPO

????? BBC: Angry Birds developer set for stock market launch

????? Reuters: Angry Birds developer takes aims at New York IPO

????Wow. What a quick flip. And easy money for the VCs, who basically get to act as bridge financiers... Wait. Hold on. I'm getting word that these headlines are horribly misleading.

????Rovio is not going public this year. Or next year. And probably not even in 2013.

????Each of these stories was based on interviews with company chairman Kaj Hed, who said that Rovio hopes to list in New York within the next five years. In other words, he said the same thing that almost every other entrepreneur says upon raising lots of VC funding ("we hope to make this a great company, eventually take it public, yada yada.")

????I'm not dismissing Rovio's chances of a successful IPO, just its chances of a successful IPO anytime soon. In fact, Rovio CEO Mikael Hed told me that Rovio expects to raise more VC funding "sometime in the future" -- an infusion that almost certainly would come before any public offering.

????So no Rovio IPO... yet.
