I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a company going IPO is not the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. IPOs are not a guarantee of success. Just because a tech company failed to be acquired by any of the Magnificent 7 tech darlings and is now deciding to go public does not mean that the stock will outperform or perform at all. In reality, an IPO is just another capital raising event, and nothing more. Every public and private company playing in the same space compete with each other. #IPO #Investing #TechIndustry #StockMarket #Finance #Startups #Entrepreneurship #BusinessStrategy

Unicorn Returns: How Big Are They Really?  On average, a unicorn returns 8x the capital raised by the time of exit – whether through going public, sale, or liquidation. This metric, known as “capital efficiency”, represents the ratio of exit valuation to capital raised pre-exit. Our analysis of 1,110 US VC-backed unicorns, with over 50 already exited, reveals:  • Half of these exits achieved valuations of around $8 for every $1 of capital raised. Even after adjusting for the time value of money and investor dilution, these returns are remarkable.  • Significant variation exists: 6% of unicorns exited below the raised capital.  • Extremes range from FiscalNote returning nothing to F45 Training's astounding 500x capital efficiency at IPO. Average capital efficiency by exit type:  • IPOs: 30x  • Acquisitions: 33x  • Direct listings: 34x  • SPACs: 8x Note: these results focus on exit valuations. We continue monitoring publicly traded unicorns' journeys.
