Netscape co-founder Jim Clark could score again with an IPO of photo service Shutterfly. The company filed for an IPO today to raise up to $92 million; it will trade under SFLY on NASDAQ.  Clark owns 40 percent; other major owners are VC firms Mohr, Davidow Ventures (23 percent) and Sutter Hill Ventures (9 percent). Adobe Ventures is also an investor. Underwriters: Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Piper Jaffray and Jefferies and Company.
Numbers: Shutterfly says the company made $28.9 million in 2005 on $84 million in revenue; in 2004, it showed a profit of $3.7 million on $55 million in revenue. This year, revenue was up in the first quarter but the loss for the quarter is wider—$1.7 million loss on $17 million revenue compared to $683,000 loss on $13 million in 1Q05.
