Jeff Fluhr dropped out of business school to become StubHub's CEO, now he's not receiving credit for his efforts as the company tries to go public.

StubHub, a leading ticket resale platform, is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) that could value the company at up to $16.5 billion, according to a report by Fortune on March 27, 2025. Founded in 2000 by Jeff Fluhr and Eric Baker, StubHub has grown significantly over the years, navigating through various challenges including a high-profile acquisition by eBay in 2007 for $310 million, and a subsequent sale to Viagogo for $4.05 billion in 2019. The upcoming IPO is seen as a pivotal moment for the company, aiming to capitalize on the booming live events market post the global health crisis, with the founders expressing optimism about the future and the potential to further expand their global footprint.
