Piranha Interactive Publishing, Inc. was an Arizona, USA software publishing firm founded in 1995 with seven principals. The business plan was to secure and publish third-party developer software, thus avoiding the high risk and cost of in-house development, and therefore passing on higher royalties to the licensed developers. The corporation secured several retail titles in both educational and entertainment genres in the first few years of operation. Early successes led to a successful multimillion-dollar Initial Public Offering (IPO) on NASDAQ in late 1997. ==Closing == The company continued operations until cash-flow problems forced it out of business in July 1999. Piranha Interactive Publishing did not file for Bankruptcy; rather, they closed their doors and liquidated their assets.
