/ About this event
The IPO window is reopening — and some of the most valuable private companies ever built are eyeing the public markets. But the way companies go public has barely changed in decades. Shares are still priced behind closed doors, allocated to a select group of institutions, and the celebrated "first-day pop" is really capital the company never raised. Meanwhile, venture investors, LPs, and employees wait years longer for liquidity.
Join ClearingBid for an evening on the future of IPOs and primary markets: why the traditional process leaves billions on the table, what's worked (and what hasn't) with direct listings, SPACs, and auctions, and how transparent, market-driven pricing could reshape how companies raise capital and who gets access.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND - Founders, CEOs, and CFOs of growth-stage companies considering a public offering - VCs, growth investors, LPs, and angels focused on liquidity and exits - Capital markets bankers, lawyers, and advisors
