Episode #14: Fintech IPOs are back after a few years of very little activity. The Circle IPO explosion will encourage the next round of IPOing companies to move forward, including the Klarna IPO, Chime, Gemini, and Kraken.
Craig also launches a new podcast segment called IPO Wish List. This first feature highlights five fintech IPOs we'd love to see go public (but aren't in a hurry to).
In IPO radar news, Netskope takes the next step toward and IPO by hiring Morgan Stanley to lead the deal. Plus, xAI is conducting a tender bender, a bogus maneuver that benefits employees and VCs, but leaves out retail investors.
