Hugh Martin, Chairman and CEO of Pacific Biosciences, is proud to point out that his previous enterprise, ONI Systems, was the first to be taken IPO after the dot-com crash of 2000 – and that they raised over a billion dollars in just a few short months. Maximizing the cash value of the company was a huge benefit to its longevity, says Martin, and being conservative with their holdings was an inexhaustible asset.
