The growth now happens before the ticker
Thirty-four U.S. technology companies listed publicly in 2025, against a median of about 120 a year through the 1990s. Companies reach public scale years before any ticker exists, and the value created in those years accrues to whoever owned the shares privately. That window is what we invest in.
Source: Jay R. Ritter, University of Florida, Initial Public Offerings: Updated Statistics (2026), Table 4a. U.S. technology IPOs including direct listings, offer price $5.00 or greater. 2021 was the strongest year for listings in two decades at 126, about what a median year in the 1990s produced. The following year produced six.
