LogMeIn: Getting wired for an IPO

More

Last year was fairly robust for on-demand software IPOs, as seen with companies like NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N).

Well, Wall Street wants to give more deals for investors to chomp on. This week, LogMeIn filed to go public. The company develops solutions for remote-connectivity for IT systems, such as for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

The company is getting traction. Over the past year, the customer base jumped from 48,000 to 92,000. For the first nine months of 2007, revenues spiked 151% to $18.4 million (although, the company is still losing money).

Then again, LogMeIn has a robust free version of its software, which allows for a seamless upgrade to a premium offerings (the business model is based on subscriptions that range from $40 to $1,900 per year).

It also helps that the LogMeIn platform is quite scalable. That is, it connects more than 4.2 million computers. Oh, and the company has a key deal with Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC).

The lead underwriters on the IPO include Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM). The proposed ticker is LOGM.
