    Their symbol is hcp instead of hash, what a shame.

    Don't buy at IPO. Buy after the lockup expires.

    Thank you Mitchell and Armon. I essentially built my DevOps consulting company off the back of Packer and Terraform. I’ll be a long term $HCP shareholder.

    Don’t understand why anyone would need their cloud products. Who needs Terraform or Nomad or Vault as a service?

    I think Hashicorp will enter monitoring next. Netdata would be a great fit (OSS, fat agent, huge metric granularity, deep infra and network insights)

    Congratulations Mitchell, Armon, Dave, and everyone else at Hashicorp. We made a blog post to celebrate https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/12/09/congratulations-to-...

    Hah, no IPO bump. Does anyone know any detail about their deal with their bank?

    Can someone explain the revenue declines in 2019? https://www.google.com/finance/quote/HCP:NASDAQ

    Or is this a Google Fiance Bug?

    Question to EU folks: do you see HCP at your stock broker?

    Out of curiosity, I checked the two stock brokers I have accounts with (Revolut and DeGiro), and it's not there yet.

    Do you know what EU (or French) brokers have the Nasdaq companies on the day of IPO?

    So they sell orchestration tools for managing server farms, right?

    Other then cashing in equity has anyone found that a IPO has made a place better or worse for the employees? Big fan of Hashicorp products btw
  • by dandigangi on 12/9/21, 10:54 PM

    Definitely going to be buying up shares. Love their products and see Vault/TF (among the other products) growing their role in cloud/security.

    Honestly I’m kinda not a huge fan of Hashicorp these days. They’re super late to managed services and they’re incredibly expensive.
  • by jakub_g on 12/10/21, 3:19 PM

    Edit: DeGiro seems to have it now.
  • by Lamad123 on 12/9/21, 8:44 PM

    I'd buy a few if they were 5 or even 30 dollars.
  • by lflux on 12/9/21, 8:29 PM

    Maybe with this IPO they can finally start reviewing terraform PRs again

    Thanks HashiCorp... it's nice to write lines like this less often:

    ``` sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmpswap bs=4096 count=1M && sudo chmod 0600 /tmpswap && sudo chown root:root /tmpswap && sudo mkswap /tmpswap && sudo swapon /tmpswap ```
