ZipCar is such an awesome idea, I wonder how profitable they are. The WSJ has a comparison last week of the different car sharing services. Who knew they had some competition. ZipCars are all over Boston, I need to take the leap. My clunker just refuses to quit.

Well, I think what's interesting about the story is the fact that the CEO may have let it slip in the first place.

A profitable company with $150m in sales would obviously be contemplating an IPO and just as obviously issuing a vague denial.

Yes ... it's just silly to deny that a slip of the tongue happened if it was during a tape-recorded interview.

Hmm, sounds like he let the inner corporate IPO talks slip off his tongue. It's rather amusing how much stir is being created out of this. It's simple, all they have to do to correct this is issue a public statement. Sounds like they are unsure whether they want us to know about Zipcar going public just yet and they are dillydallying over what they should say.

My rabbit has been customarily tight-lipped regarding his IPO. There have been rumors hopping around, yes. Easter 2010 perhaps - at least, that is my hutch.

Sounds like Zipcar is trying to un-jump the gun to avoid a delay in that hypothetical IPO. Surprising he wasn't better coached if they are in fact discussing an IPO.
