We can't complain about individual (non-accredited) investors getting locked out of fast-growing tech companies and simultaneously complain when companies IPO when they've reached significant revenue but not yet hit profitability.

IPOs are a capital-raising event; if companies only did them when they were profitable they'd be no more than VCs cashing in after they've milked out all the good upside potential.
