As SpaceX announces they’re going public, in-house experts Jacki Neumann and Susannah Batley break down the initial public offering (IPO) process and SpaceX’s upcoming Nasdaq debut. Discover how companies come onto the exchange for the first time—and what’s different about this historic IPO.

Find out what the SpaceX offer document reveals, including a total addressable market target almost equal to the entire GDP of the United States. The team evaluates Elon Musk’s iron grip on the company’s leadership, which US pension funds have called the “most management-favorable governance structure” in modern market history. And with retail seeing an unusually high 30% allocation from SpaceX, Jacki and Susannah explain how institutional roadshows can create information asymmetry for retail investors.

Plus, why Musk faces a unique 366-day lockup period before he can sell a single share.
