What Makes A Good IPO?
The initial public offering (IPO) market is showing signs of life, but it’s a very different landscape from years past. In this episode of The Dealist podcast, presented by SS&C Intralinks, we explore what it really takes to go public in today’s more selective, fundamentals-driven environment.
Host Catherine Ford is joined by veteran Silicon Valley lawyer Louis Lehot of Foley & Lardner LLP, and Blockstream CFO Michael Golomb who has taken multiple companies public. They unpack why companies are staying private longer, why IPOs are no longer the default path, and what’s driving the current wave of market readiness.
Listen to learn:
• What’s changed in the IPO landscape — and why timing matters more than ever
• The real reasons companies choose to go public (and when they shouldn’t)
• What IPO readiness looks like across teams, systems and strategy
• How artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to shape the IPO process
• The key ingredients of a successful IPO — from strong fundamentals to a compelling growth story
If you want a clear, insider view of what separates a good IPO from a great one, this episode delivers.
