About this episode

This episode breaks down the lifecycle of IPOs and discusses the implications of investing in newly public companies, with a focus on SpaceX.

The SpaceX IPO has generated a huge amount of excitement, but before you rush to invest, it's important to understand how IPOs actually work and what most headlines aren't telling you. In this episode, I break down the full lifecycle of an IPO, the risks and opportunities that come with investing in newly public companies, and how I'm personally thinking about SpaceX. You'll learn the key dates to be aware of, what typically happens after a company goes public, and the framework I use to evaluate whether an IPO deserves a place in my portfolio.
