On April 1, PagerDuty launched its IPO roadshow. CEO Jennifer Tejada had to assure employees, customers and investors that this was no April Fool's joke.

But over the next 11 days, leading up to the software company's debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, Tejada was committed to having fun amid the constant travel and sleep deprivation. Tejada, who joined PagerDuty as CEO in 2016, said Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson sent her a karaoke boombox so the group could relax after a day of intense investor meetings.
