Is the date and/or the ticker determined yet?

[Habana Mike]

Ticker is SNOW. Can't say regarding the timing.

All in the S-1

A fair few tech companies filed last week

[Meklown]

I know I will be in the ballot for Ant Financial!

[BrightonCorgi]

Snowflake has been a hot technology for a little bit.

[Rhinoww]

Thanks Mike. Good luck.

As a rule, I avoid them. What makes snowflake specialty.

Interesting. Cirrently relevant with the cloud wars and a lot of start ups able to switch. I just never see this in the running oracle, salesforce, SAP etc...

Hesitant. You can mock me when it takes off... We are on Oracle 12c, and switching is nearly impossible because we have over 12,000 modifications based on sqlplus and oracle exclusive dependencies on a HOME and BASE structure. Got us by the balls. I expect a lot of old companes also fell in this trap.

Oh yes. I know the Oracle game very well. Been competing with them for 30 years!

My brother in law worked there for a while. Has his own business now. I've forgiven him

One of the fastest growing SaaS companies. One of the largest technology investment Sequoia Capital made. There's that...and this

Dockers or Kubernetes will make it easier for new technology in the cloud.

 Berkshire seems to believe in it......

[La_Tigre]

Looks good but likely way over ipo to the rest of us plebs. 

[Rhinoww]

Is there a date for the ipo?

No official date announced as of yet.

Picking up Twilio for $30/share has worked out pretty well for me

Excited to see how this plays out.

@Habana Mike tomorrow?

[Yellot00tr]

Salesforce might be the play. Buy into earnings before 12/1. They have upside exposure.

[Yellot00tr]

They’re also pricing at $120 tomoro

If you believe Forbes...

[Yellot00tr]

It's set to begin trading today. Let's see what it soars up to today.  160 a share wouldn't be a shocker. Might be higher based on the overall markets and fed response later. If this thing rages high, I can see it pulling the whole tech sector up with it.  The sheer excitement when AAPL hit $2T valuation drove the markets nuts. No options pricing.

[FireDigger]

$120 a share was what Snowflake got. At opening, the banks might start at $160. I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches $200 at some point today. It's almost Tesla-expensive, but everyone and their grandma wants a piece, so I will most likely see how crazy this gets from the sidelines.
