2024 saw some life return to the IPO (initial public offering) market, which saw companies deterred and struggle to go public since the COVID-19 pandemic. What could 2025, and even 2026, have in store for the IPO space?
“You’ll see a number of really big companies go public, but I do think a lot of these companies are still focused on what is driving their own growth — whether it’s Stripe or Databricks, you know, they’re focused on AI, they’re focused on a lot of change that’s happening in the market,” Fundrise Co-Founder and CEO Ben Miller tells Julie Hyman and Jared Blikre.
“And there’s really no hurry to go public really these days, because the private markets provide plenty of liquidity.”
Miller names artificial intelligence companies like Databricks and OpenAI as being some of the biggest names that could go public soon.
