Why This Matters
Billion-dollar startups like SpaceX and OpenAI are increasingly choosing to stay private longer due to abundant private capital, high compliance costs associated with IPOs, and a desire to maintain control over valuation. This trend reduces opportunities for retail investors to invest in high-growth companies and concentrates power within private markets.

More billion-dollar startups are staying private for longer than ever before. From Elon Musk’s SpaceX to OpenAI and other unicorns, companies are avoiding the costs, scrutiny, and disclosure that come with going public. Experts Jonathan Foster, Gordon Phillips, and Sarah Keohane Williamson explain how abundant private capital, higher compliance costs, and control over valuation have reshaped the IPO landscape. The result: fewer public stocks for everyday investors and more power in private markets. (Source: Bloomberg)
